  1. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook Air here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook Air here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
  3. Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the flickering issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
  4. Which browser do you use to watch YouTube videos? Does the flickering happen only during video? Happen safari too?
  5. On your Mac, open System Preferences ➔ Energy Saver ➔ and uncheck the option for “Automatic graphics switching
  6. Update your MacOS if you have not.


Thats all I have for now. Beyond the above recommendations, you can have your MacBook Pro examined at the Apple Store or an Authorized Service Center when they open or contact ➔ Apple Support
