facetime or voice calls pause and minimize video and then restarts video in the background if you answer the call

Anybody have this issue?

  • You are watching full screen video on your mac
  • a call comes in, facetime or audio.
  • The video is then paused and minimized
  • if you answer or reject the call, the video starts playing again in the background
  • The video cannot be re-brought to the front by hitting command-tab
  • you have to quickly try and find the video in the background which might be quite loud while trying to talk to whoever just called if you answer the call.
  • the only way to prevent the video from restarting in the background when you answer the call, is to wait to answer call, find the video, un-pause and pause it again, and then answer the call


This "workflow" is ridiculously annoying.

APPLE, Please fix this!!!


MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
