Hello!
Recently, Youtube started being played/paused as I press my keyboard media keys. I’ve found other similar topics which suggested this:
Type brave://flags
into the address bar
Search for a flag called #enable-media-key-handling
Disable the flag and relaunch the browser when prompted.
However, in my Brave flags, there is no “enable-media-key-handling” at all, so I can’t turn it off. Is there a solution to this?
Thank you!

Specific reference to Media Keys issue:
Description of the issue:
The flag for enabling/disabling the media keys from being used from Brave disappeared from brave://flags.
I have found a reddit post which explains a workaround for this problem, which is enabling another flag that make other ones avaiable.
How can this issue be reproduced?
SImply while playing a video from Youtube or other streaming services, press the play/pause button on your keyboard. If you want to change the behaviour of the media keys, you would normally find…

Another Ref. Sounds like, the issue may be within Chromium (as Chrome has same problem of media keys interference):
This fixed it! Thank you!

Can you provide details of what fixed it? I looked at the reddit post and couldn’t find the workaround. See my post here:
Ok, maybe I am blind but I couldn’t find the workaround. There were a couple of links to other places, so, was the workaround the YouTube link or the u/sheroman link (which is 18+ adult content so not sure about that one…). Is there a problem with just posting the flag you are talking about?
If it is enabling the flag mentioned in the other post, can you just post the flag please?

Editing this post to make it very clear what the solution is:
Go to brave://flags and find “Temporarily unexpire M100 flags”, and enable it.
Restart the browser, go back to brave://flags and the Hardware Media Key flag should be there.
This worked for me.

Edited the thread/solution a bit since it seems other people are having issues with this. Might be easier to find through search engines this way.
