Steps to reproduce:
- Install the attached extension on your Android device.
- Go to YouTube (or any website with a video player) and start watching any video.
- Open the extension popup and press the "Take Screenshot" button.
Actual results:
The tab page was successfully captured and inserted into the popup, but the video player appears black. I have attached a video for better understanding. (The extension and the screen recording are in one archive because I am unable to attach multiple files here.)
Note: You might think the black screen of the video player is due to opening the popup window, but it also occurs when I capture a screenshot through repl when debugging the extension without opening the popup.
Expected results:
The screenshot should contain the video player content.

Due to the 10MB limit, I was unable to attach the ZIP archive, so I uploaded it to Dropbox
