Fullscreen Issue - Apple TV Application on MacBook

Whenever I am in fullscreen mode on the Apple TV application on my MacBook and I receive a phone call the video completely disappears and I cannot get it to come back up without forcing the app to quit. Also, the same issue happens if I use the ESC key to exit fullscreen. Is this a bug or a feature?

If this is intentional is there a shortcut key to reopen the video? Or is there a way to change something in the settings to avoid this?

This doesn't work either. That's the curious part about this issue. I thought that would work as well. Any other ideas?

Full screen video in the TV app on Mac uses a virtual second screen/desktop (like Spaces).

On a trackpad, swipe left or right with three or four fingers. On a Magic Mouse, swipe with two fingers.
