[bug] Video Recorder: pause is not invoked after stop due to missing parentheses

[ScriptShah]

Description:

In apps/meteor/app/ui/client/lib/recorderjs/videoRecorder.ts (around line 112), the pause method of the video element is referenced but not invoked:

this.videoel.pause;

Because the method is not executed, the video element may continue playing or remain in an inconsistent state after stopping a recording.

This affects the video message recorder functionality and can cause unexpected playback behavior after pressing stop.

---

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Rocket.Chat.
2. Navigate to a room where video message recording is available.
3. Start recording a video message.
4. Stop the recording.
5. Observe the video element behavior after stopping.

---

Expected behavior:

When recording stops, the video element should properly pause by invoking:

this.videoel.pause();

The video should immediately stop and remain in a paused state.

---

Actual behavior:

The pause method is referenced but not called:

this.videoel.pause;

As a result, the video element may:

• Continue playing
• Keep updating playback time
• Remain in an active or inconsistent state after stop

Additional context

This appears to be a simple typo where the function reference is used instead of invoking the function.

Minimal fix:

- this.videoel.pause;
+ this.videoel.pause();

This ensures the video element properly pauses when recording stops.

Relevant logs:

No server-side logs related.

Browser console does not throw an error, but the media element remains in an active playback state after stopping the recording.
