Description

Team,
I would like to report an issue and ask for a resolution for the same. I am running MacOS 12 and initially when I used rocket chat, I was able to view and download media files sent to me. But since couple of days, I am unable to preview the media files I am attaching a screenshot for the error I am receiving to help you understand better. Also, I would like to add that the media files that when I download any files from Rocket Chat, it shows that the file is either corrupted or empty. I have also tried logging in using browser but I am facing the same issue there.

Please provide me a resolution on the same. Looking forward for a solution.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the media preview and download failure on macOS 12 in both the desktop app and browser, using the attached screenshot as context. Trace the media handling entry points reached by those actions. Done means attached media previews normally and downloaded files are neither corrupted nor empty.
