In Youtube, video lags significantly behind audio, about 2 seconds

This has never happened before, and the laptop isn't running hot

I use a 13" 2019 MacBook Air

Lags about 2 secs behind audio

Hi,

So this issue was occurring with Safari, and on all videos.

I tried the same thing on Chrome, but it didnt change

Turned out to be a bluetooth problem with my AirPods and I had to clear the cache for the website.

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, dhruvvenugopal.

If we understand your post correctly, video playback with YouTube is lagging behind audio. We’d like to help.


What web browser is this occurring with?


Is this happening with a specific video or does it occur with others?


Do you have another web browser to try to see if the same thing occurs?


If you're using Safari, follow the steps in this article:


If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn’t working as expected


Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.
