I can't stream videos on my macbook pro. Internet works great, but every search engine I use won't let me stream

Why can't my macbook pro stream videos anymore?

Hi freshflav,


We can certainly appreciate being eager to prevent that message from appearing. Which app are you using when this occurs? Are you browsing in Safari? If not, does the same issue occur when attempting to stream videos in Safari?


What version of macOS are you using? If an update is available for your Mac, refer to the steps in this guide to update your macOS software:


How to update the software on your Mac - Apple Support


If you're using a third-party app, we can recommend ensuring that the apps are fully updated. If the issue isn't occurring in Safari, it may be necessary to reach out to the app developer, or website developers directly.


Take care!

Hi freshflav,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We're glad you've reached out for help with this issue you're experiencing streaming videos on your MacBook Pro. Let's go over all options together.


To start, please let us know more about what's going on. What happens when you attempt to stream videos, and which app or apps are you using?


Have you had a chance to restart your computer since noticing this issue? Will it be possible to join your Mac to a different Wi-Fi network to see if the issue persists? This would help determine if the issue is isolated to your network or Mac itself.


So that we're on the same page, please also let us know your model of MacBook, and the version of macOS installed on your computer. This can be found under Apple menu () > About this Mac.


Have a great day!
