Troubleshoot Pixelbook YouTube voice search not quite working

Voice search working fine on Chrome browser.
But voice search not quite working on YouTube.

Pixelbook, Settings, Security and Privacy, Manage you apps, YouTube, Permissions, Microphone is switched to ON.

Pixelbook, Settings, Acessibility, Enable dictation (speak to type) is switched to ON.

From Chrome browser, opening YouTube, I tap microphone icon, (next to magnifying glass and search bar). Lower section of screen goes dark, and circled red dot blinks on R-side of open web tab! Great. Lower part of screen stays dark. No text is entered. Screen returns after I tap on the screen. Still no dictated text is entered into Search box. Hmm... what could be wrong?

Hi Bill,
Thank you so much for your post and sorry that it's taken us a bit to get back to you. We appreciate your patience. This is definitely an odd issue as I am unfortunately unable to reproduce it myself. It looks like you've gone through the preliminary checks in the settings that I would have already recommended. If you could, try to turn off the microphone permission and then turn that back on. If that doesn't help, you could also attempt to do a Hard Reset. Although, if I'm being honest, I'm not sure that it would have much of an effect because this seems more like a Youtube Issue than a specific Pixelbook issue. But let's see what we can do!
Keep us posted with how it's going when you can.

Best,
James
