Video playback volume always resets to 100%
Using a supported version?
- I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
- I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.
Overall summary
When playing video attachments in Signal Desktop, the playback volume always defaults to 100%.
Changing the volume for one video is not remembered when opening another video or reopening a video. Each newly opened video starts at full volume again.
It would be preferable for Signal Desktop to remember the user's last selected video volume instead of resetting to 100% for every video.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a conversation containing a video attachment.
- Open/play the video.
- Lower the video's volume using the video player's volume control, for example to 20%.
- Close the video and open it again, or open another video attachment.
- Check the volume level.
Expected result
The video player remembers the previously selected volume level.
For example, if the volume was changed to 20%, subsequently opened videos should start at approximately 20% volume rather than reverting to full volume.
Actual result
Every newly opened video starts at 100% volume, regardless of the volume selected for the previously played video.
