This issue is related to: #67020

Downgrading ffmpeg to a previous version will resolve the error on GMail.

You can use the following to do so:
pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/f/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-1%3A4.2.3-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This bug also effects electron apps, such as wire-desktop, riot-desktop.

Downgrading ffmpeg helped.
