Videos in prototype flash black before playing, but only in Figma iOS app, not Figma desktop or web

I’m noticing that some but not all videos in one of my prototypes flash black before playing, but only in Figma iOS app, not Figma desktop or web. Is this a known issue and any recommendations on how to fix it?

      Hi ​@meatysaurus, thanks for reaching out! 

      This sounds related to a bug that’s been flagged by the community in the past: Prototypes flickering black

      Are you still having issues with the iOS app? If so, may I ask which apple device and iOS are you using?

      Hi ​@djv I have the same issue when mirroring the prototype on my Figma iOS app. When I play the prototype on desktop, all the videos in the prototype play smoothly. But when I mirrored it on Figma iOS app, the video frame turned black for 1-2 second before starting to play.

      Hi ​@hujiarui, thanks for chiming in here and apologies for the delayed reply! 

      Did you check the solution listed on the previous topic I linked to see if that helps?

      If not, may I ask which apple device and iOS are you using? With a few more details, we can flag this over to the team to investigate further.
