Safari not showing some video content

Problems with MacOs and Safari. A few days ago I noticed that some video content is not working. Youtube works ok, but for example, Udemy courses are with the black screen even the voice can be heard. Also, some online TV is not showing anything but a black screen. I tried Chrome, and it works ok. This seems to be only with Mac. The same site with video content works with iPad. Any ideas?

Their Video Codecs using to encode the videos maybe unknown or incompatible with Safari in Big Sur as you are not experiencing the same affect in another Browser.


Have you done to their Trouble Shooting page and looked for Requirements and solutions https://support.udemy.com/hc/en-us/categories/204121147-Troubleshooting

No mention regarding added VPNs AV Software - so if that is correct ?


Experiment with Safari >> Preferences >> Advance tab and at very bottom Enable Show Developers Menu. Then go to the problematic website and in the Menu for Developer change how the website sees Safari to say Firefox, or Chrome and Test if the videos play niece. What we are attempting to see is if " trick the website " to thinking Safari is another Browser will work or not.
