Google drive videos won't load after update

Hi, as the post suggests, after updating to the latest Catalina, Safari 13.1 won't play video in Google drive on my Macbook Pro 13. The last year has been awful for compatibility issues so hoping there's a viable solution to this one. Thanks.

No HDR video in Safari 14.1.1 after upgrade to Big Sur. How to fix please? Hi I've just upgraded from Catalina to Big Sur 11.4 on iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019). Safari does not play HDR YouTube videos (the HDR badge never appears – HD Rec.709 only). I understood that Big Sur should allow this? My Chrome browser shows same YT videos as HDR (Rec.2020/PQ) without issue. I have tried: Empty caches Clear all history Clear all cookies Deep refreshes of the page Clearing ~/Library/Safari/LocalDatabases Nothing so far has worked. Can somebody help please? Thanks Tim

Video playback problems in Safari, macOS Big Sur After installing macOS Big Sur I have video playback problems in Safari (YouTube for example) - it seems like it is not a video, but slide-show or something. I tried to change resolution settings from 1080p to Auto, or even to 480, but it does not get better - the speed and "smoothness" is terrible. I also can not find the Adobe Flash Player any more on my system, and I can not download it and install because of its EOL - https://www.adobe.com/ru/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html About my Mac: - MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 20150), macOS Big Sur 11.2.2, Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 Mb, 50 Gb free of 128 GB HD. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Some people have fixed the download problem by going to Safari/Preferences/Privacy and unchecking Prevent cross-site tracking. Quit/reopen Safari and test.
