Cannot play Google Drive videos on Brave

[vinilopes]

Description of the issue:
I use google classroom to watch recorded classes that are stored on google drive. On September 1, 2021 I couldn’t play my videos anymore, it keeps loading forever and never plays. I tested it in other browsers and it worked normally, so the problem is with Brave itself, which doesn’t launch google classroom videos or anyone else that is being linked to google drive.

Pre Conditions to Reproduce:
1. Have a video on Google Drive;

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Brave;
2.Go to Google Drive;
3. Play a video that is on Google Drive;
4. Observe that the video does not play (BUG);
5. Try playing the same steps in another browser and observe that the video will play (OK);

Actual Result:
The google drive videos keep loading forever and never start

Expected Result:
Be able to play videos from google drive

Reproduces how often:
Always

Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Versão 1.29.76 Chromium: 93.0.4577.58 64 bits

Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
Yes

Additional information:
I’m using Windows 10
