Media Controls disappears if the video is not played within 5 seconds, after pausing a video(running on Chrome) while the Windows Screen is Locked.
So,
when I play a video on chrome and the windows screen is locked (Win + L),
if I pause the video by clicking with mouse on the floating media control panel at the bottom of the lock screen
OR media keys
OR dedicated buttons with wired/wireless headphones,
the floating media control panel disappears after 5 seconds of inactivity,
after which to play the video I have to sign in again, as neither the media keys nor the dedicated buttons of wired/wireless headphones work.
(
P.S. This doesn't happen with Firefox.)

Even mouse movements don't help.
On the lock screen, after you pause, if you don't play within 5-6 seconds, the media control bar disappears, and then you have to sign back in.
Such a nuisance.
