I found another issue with https://jyavenard.github.io/htmltests/tests/spatial/

Play first video (HTML5 video with MP4 video)
Mute the video
Enter fullscreen

The video si freeze, I you unmute the video, the video plays fine again.

Can you review it?

Note: we reproduce the same issue with spatial videos without audio.

This is element fullscreen, only audible video can be controlled with MediaSession or external controls. That's how it has always worked. We have ongoing work in this area, try playing with the preference "VideoFullsceenPrefersMostVisibleHeuristic" it should work as you expect even with muted videos.
