Hello suhaila89.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

If I'm understanding correctly, you are experiencing screen flickering with the MacBook Air while watching video. I use my MacBook to watch video as well, and I will be glad to assist.

Let's start by performing an SMC reset to see if it corrects this. Here's how: How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac

Next, boot up in safe mode. This helps isolate, if not resolve issues: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac

Additionally, test this in an another user account to see if the problem is user specific: How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac

Cheers.
