I can't see the "Esc" key on the left side of the Touch Bar anymore, while watching any video in Safari. Is it removed in macOS Catalina? Does anybody know how to get the "Esc" key back on the Touch Bar?
MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
I had this issue too on my girlfriends 13" MacBook Pro 2018 that was just recently upgraded to Catalina.
The solution is to restart the "TouchBarServer". You can find it in the activity monitor. However, it seemed to be gone from there too for me. So I killed it through the terminal:
And the esc key is back!

Hello Mr. Gerardson,
Thank you for responding to my question. Your solution worked, and the 'Esc' key is back on the TouchBar 😁 👍🏾.
I found the TouchBarServer in the Activity Monitor, under the Disk tab. I Quit the TouchBarServer, and the Esc key appeared right away.
Thank you.
Tip: In some apps, another tool in the Touch Bar may temporarily replace the Esc button.
Tap Done and the Esc button appears.
