PATH = os.path.split(os.path.abspath(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[0])))[0] + '/'

options = Options()
options.add_argument("--mute-audio")



#options.add_argument('--headless')

options.add_argument("user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/92.0.4515.107 Safari/537.36")

Answer 1

Add lines:

#Activate the box
    commentBox = driver.find_element_by_id('placeholder-area')
    commentBox.click()
    sleep(4)

    #Send the keys to the input field
    inputBox =driver.find_element_by_id('contenteditable-root')
    inputBox.send_keys('test')

You need to search for an object, by class or tag, or id, etc.
Then peped value to this object.
Well, register a button press.

variable_name = find_element_by_id
#_by_class_name
#_by_tag_name
