Hi YakShaver Desktop team

▶️ Watch the video (01:52)

Describe the Bug

In Tenant view, some YakShaves created from the Desktop app intermittently show no video preview. Debugging indicates that for some Desktop-recorded items the backend payload is missing the videoFile and/or embedUrl, while other Desktop-recorded items correctly include embedUrl and render a preview.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open YakShaver Desktop app
2. Record a YakShave using the Desktop source
3. Open the item in the Tenant view
4. See error (no video preview shown; related videoFile/embedUrl missing in debug JSON)

Expected Behavior

YakShaves recorded from the Desktop source should always include the required video metadata (videoFile and embedUrl) so the Tenant view can render a preview consistently.

Tasks

• Investigate
• Fix

More Information

Observed inconsistency:

• Some Desktop-recorded YakShaves have embedUrl and preview works.
• Some Desktop-recorded YakShaves have missing embedUrl/videoFile so preview does not render.

Environment
