PowerPoint Online - Slideshow not working

Description of the issue:
When opening a PowerPoint presentation from PowerPoint Online, the slideshow option does not seem to work in Brave. When clicking the slideshow button in the bottom toolbar of PowerPoint Online, the first slide briefly shows, but immediately closes. When opening exactly the same presentation file in Chrome, the slideshow works without any issues.

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

  1. Open PowerPoint Online
  2. Open presentation file
  3. Click on slideshow button in bottom toolbar

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
slideshow briefly starts, but closes immediately.

Expected result:
Slideshow should run like in Chrome.

Reproduces how often:
Consistently every time I try to run a slideshow from PowerPoint Online with Brave. I have to switch to Chrome to get the slideshow to work.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
OS: Windows 10
Brave Version: Version 0.61.52 Chromium: 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:
None

@laanrobe can you try with “Device recognition allowed” via Brave icon at URL bar? And see if it’s solve your issue?

Thanks
