I recently learned that if you tap the volume + or - and just start dragging left/right the volume will adjust. I used to think you had to tap then grab/slide but that is not the case. Made a difference to me anyway.

You can also (at least in Big Sur) tap and swipe right/left quickly and let go right after and it'll bump up/down the vol/brightness 1 bar, depending what icon you tap and swipe on. If the brightness/vol expands then you've held it down too long. I do wish Apple would improve media controls on the Mac in general (and touchbar). So often the media icon just doesn't show (e.g. Spotify), or I've had several media apps running and macOS gets confused and the media icons no longer do anything for what's currently playing. It's soo buggy.

  That's a nice trick, thank you! Although even knowing _what_ I had to do, I only managed to learn this after couple tries.

  I think it has worked that way since day 1. At least I was using it on Mojave
