Touch bar - pause/play

When I press pause on the touchbar button (i'm watching a lecture on chrome/safari), it pauses for about 3 seconds and then plays again before I touch it again. Does anyone know how to fix this? I used to be able to do this fine but ever since apple fixed my computer for other reasons, my touch bar is not the same as it used to.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

Hmmm


You can try making changes—

Customize the Touch Bar on Mac - Apple Support


if no resolve on a Intel Mac try—

resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

and

resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
