YouTube playback on Safari When I start playing a YouTube video on safari, it plays for a second or two (but the page isn’t fully loaded). Then the video goes black for two or 3 seconds(with the audio still playing fine). Then the video comes back with a bit of lag and proceeds to carry on like fine and doesn’t happen again for the rest of the video. It happens every time so it isn’t random, and I have no browser extensions being used. I’ve tried on chrome and I have no issues there. I’m on a 2018 MacBook Pro and have fibre optic broadband so there’s no issue with device power or internet speed. Really odd

Udemy Black Screen Video but Audio working https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252574971 I am having the same issues as the above thread. I am using a 2019 MBP running OS 11.5 Safari v 14.1.2 I've taken courses on Udemy for years. I was taking a course early this month just fine then suddenly the courses stopped playing video while the audio played just fine. I can roll over the progress bar and see pop ups of what the video should be at that point. I don't use plugins except 1 Password, which I've disabled. I've tried clearing cache, using a private window. Everything runs in Firefox. It also runs fine in Safari for iPad OS v 14.7.1. I also can verify that this behavior is now present on courses that I took successfully in the past where there was no issue with video playback. Video playback for other courses on other platforms like LinkedIn work just fine in Safari. Anyone else having similar issues or have suggestions how to reclaim Udemy on Safari? Udemy keeps pushing Chrome, which isn't an option for me and is not a solution to the issue but a work around.

Video not playing properly on Safari 15.2 Hi. Safari 15.2 (17612.3.6.1.6) after last update every possible video (Youtube, Twitter) is not playing correctly. It stops, runs too slow, does not follow the sound etc. This problem does not exist on my other Mac with Safari 15.1 and the same internet connection. Any solution?
