It's back and forth for me.
Every day communities and their chats behave differently for me.
Personally I use silent notifications for dd alerts on Whatsapp, and clicking on the notification takes me straight to it

I no longer have the option to download/save a video from whatsapp web?

Web app or downloaded app from Windows store?
They each have their limitations

Things work normally when I use my desktop to use WhatsApp, but I have to go through multiple clicks when accessing through my phone.

I even let the video play until the end but there was no difference.
