OS: Win 10 20H2
Brave Version: 1.38.119 Chromium: 101.0.4951.67 (Official Build) (64-bit)
A way to get rid of this overlay would be nice, I’d like to play pause with my keyboard’s media buttons when I need to stop the browser’s audio while playing a full screen game. It pops on to the game window rather than silently pausing in the background. There seems to be a bug with Twitch too, when I unpause it won’t start playing unless I bring the tab directly into focus again.
I want to prevent the pop up because it comes up in game like this
By “Silently pausing” I want it to pause without showing in the game

(Yes, ‘officiel’ is a misspelling.)

By ‘this overlay’ - you might mean:
Correct?
Please clarify: “pops on to the game window rather than silently pausing in the background” - the ‘silently pausing in the background’ part.

Updated. Is that better? As you can see, it covers a large part of the screen and it stays there for a bit.

Thank you. See (including the replies):
Description of the issue:
Unable to remove the Windows 10 Media Overlay when multimedia is playing (e.g. youtube)
This was previously resolved as per: Get rid of windows 10 multimedia overlay
However, the “hardware-media-key-handling” option no longer exists in brave://flags
It appears as if this option was removed in a recent update.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Open up Youtube in Brave
Click on any video
Change the system (not youtube) volume
Both the volume level AND the media ove…
I tried disabling the flag. That just completely disabled the media key on brave, though. I’d rather have it work, just don’t want the overlay to show up.
