Is my Network Media List supposed to be empty, in Chrome dev tools?

I know that it's possible to download embedded video using Chrome dev tools. I did it myself a couple of times a few years ago. However, I'm not sure what's changed. But, I just can't seem to replicate those heady results! In fact, nothing whatsoever shows up in the Network / Media tab anymore.

I'm on a Macbook (Big Sur 11.6), using Chrome Version 96.0.4664.93 (Official Build) (x86_64).

I right-click and Inspect. I select the Network tab and the Media filter. Then I reload the video page and click play on the video. But, the media list doesn't show anything. It's empty every single time. No matter the video, or site visited.

There are always error messages in the console tab, though. Things like:

DevTools failed to load source map: Could not load content for https:example-url.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE

Any idea what I can do to fix this? I'm a technical beginner. So, any help would be much appreciated.

This is the type of thing I would expect to see:

To see the media while it's playing. You just have to press the 'Filter' option which looks like this:
