Hey @sam9

Thanks for your feedback.

The issue arises because the initially captured video stream is applied to a Video SDK-inside dummy video element (which is hidden). When using `stream.attachVideo`, we pause the original video element’s play and apply it to the new video-player element, which is the expected behavior.

You can safely ignore this browser error as it does not affect the functionality.

Thanks  
Vic
