Hello, I was wondering if anyone was having an issue with loud fans when trying to watch videos on websites like Hulu and Netflix? Any website that has video playback options other then https://www.youtube.com my fans on my 2018 MacBook Air start to get really loud but the computer docent seem to heat up. Is there any way to fix this?

The good thing is that the fan is doing its job that it is designed for and therefore your MacBook Air is not getting hot to touch. When you watch videos using a browser, especially Netflix movies etc, then you will be tasking the processor to handle quite a load of data flowing in and out. This can occasionally generate some heat and cause the fan to come on.

Jen,
Yes your computer is working the way it is supposed to however stay alert as you have been and if you notice that the hot area is too hot to touch then voice your issue again.
