When I click on my media keys (play, pause, next, previous), it controls Google Chrome Media Session API (Youtube, Google Play Music, etc.).
Actual behaviour
When I click on my media keys Play/Pause, the current Youtube video played by Google Chrome is not paused.
I did some test on different OS & browser:
Linux Mint 20 MATE
Chrome 86: NOT working
Firefox 81: NOT working
Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon
Chrome 86: working
Ubuntu 20:
Chrome 86: working
Ubuntu 20 MATE:
Chrome 86: NOT working
That's why I guess it's related to MATE. On GNOME 3, it seems to work fine.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Open Google Chrome.
Go to Youtube and play any video.
Press your media key Play/Pause on your keyboard.
The Youtube video is not paused.
