Video volume changes when moving window
Geoffrey Findon
Howdy! Loooove the app, and just noticed an issue when moving a video window, the sound cuts out & returns.
To see a video recording of this behavior, visit:
Thank you in advance and let me know however I can help! Geoff Findon
Environment:
- 2017 MBP running macOS Big Sur 11.2.3
- Google Chrome v 89.0.4389.90 (Official Build) (x86_64)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Enter With room
- Add new or play existing video window
- Start video, then move video window toward right half of screen, observing audio volume
Expected Result: Audio volume does not change when moving video window
Observed Result: Audio volume reduces when moving video window to certain parts of screen, esp. the right half of screen. Moving the video window back near its original position restores audio.

This is actually a feature Geoff, sorry if it feels like a bug :D
We call that spatial audio and it allows people in a room to have different chat in different areas of the room. Or, in this example, to watch a video or listen to music on YouTube without annoying everybody in the room! We are exploring a way to turn on and off spatial audio, so you should be able to get what you want soon :)

Laurent Baumann: A-ha, that makes perfect sense actually, thank you Laurent! I read about With's spatial audio recently and was curious how it works, so thank you for the context.
fwiw, I cannot repro the macOS move-video behavior on Windows 10 / Chrome. Just a heads up in case spatial audio is behaving differently in Windows vs Mac...
