MacBook Air will not play any videos

My MacBook Air will not play any videos from Youtube and recording zoom lectures. I have tried both my safari and google chrome browsers and both will not allow me to watch videos. It says the video is loading but will never play.

Macbook won't play online videos Hi all, Well, I watch videos on the teachable and other platforms a lot, but my MacBook stops playing them recently. The video appears to load but never gets started. Strangely, I can still watch videos on youtube, Netflix, and Disney plus. I have no issue watching those videos on iPhone and tablet, so it is unlikely about the internet connection or the website itself. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks, Kayden

Macbook pro will not play any videos Hello, I've recently had an issue where no videos on my macbook will play at all. This includes youtube on chrome or safari, external video websites AND videos downloaded on my laptop (quicktime or other video players won't play). I have restarted my laptop, which fixes the problem for about an hour, then the problem arises again. Please help!

Can't play videos in any browser I can't play youtube or other internet videos on my Macbook Pro. I've tried 4 different browsers and I get white screens with sound or it jumps from one video to another without playing them. My OS version is 10.15.7.
