Don't play YouTube videos properly in the background


**Description of the issue: When I switching from Brave to other apps, the video/Music stops briefly and continues. You can hear it. The video keeps getting stuck even after 7 or 5 or 10 minutes and you have to go to Brave and reload the page.

It also freezes when you switch back and forth in several apps. Or when you come back to the Brave.

Its terrbible to listen music.

I think the Android Version is the Problem. Becouse on my old Smartphone (Android 11) i didnt have this Problems.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Play a youtupe Video on Brave
  2. Switsch to other Apps and work with them
  3. or Switch back to Brave

Expected result:

**Brave Version( check About Brave): 1.62.165, Chromium 121.0.6167.184

**Mobile Device details: Android 13; Build/TKQ1.220905.001

**Additional Information: XiaomiMiui Global 14.0.27

I am using the same browser version on my android but I didn’t face any problems like that. The audio was clearly audible in the background. I was using apps like Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and the audio was still playing in the background. I am on Android 14 though but I don’t think that should matter much.

Just make sure that you have media playback enabled in Brave settings.
You can do that by going to SettingsDisplayMediaEnable Background play. You might also want to Enable Widevine DRM if you use Spotify Web or any other Media web apps.

I still have the Same Problems… Maybe Brave olis Not compatible with Android 13??
