Description

to reproduce

  1. in a talk room that has videos shared (e.g. call recordings), go to sidebar > shared items > click on a video
  2. keyboard controls don't work (probably because video is not in focus?)
  • space = pause/play
  • -> jump forward
  • <- jump backward

When you open the same file in Files, keyboard controls work as expected.

Research direction

Reproduce this in a Talk room by opening a shared video from the sidebar, then compare the behavior with opening the same file in Files. Trace the video-opening path used by Talk shared items and check how keyboard focus and playback controls differ. Done means Space, left arrow, and right arrow control playback in the Talk view as they do in Files.
