After setting up a RTCPeerConnection in Safari 15, if you switch to another application and then return back to the website, the video screens are black. This behavior can be seen on the https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/pc1/ sample page. The steps to reproduce this bug are: 1. Open https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/pc1/ 2. Click the "Start" button, allow microphone and camera access when prompted, then press the "Call" button 3. Switch to another application for 3-5 seconds 4. Return to the Safari and observe that both video screens are black Expected behavior: After backgrounding Safari and coming back, video resumes. Able to reproduce with iOS 15.1 beta. Unable to reproduce with iOS 15.0.

This should now be fixed in iOS 15.3
