Videos on Safari and through AirPlay dim when bright effects pop up. No other browser does this. Title really. When I AirPlay my iPhone to my MacBook, or watch YouTube videos on Safari, there are times the video dims really badly when brighter effects come up, such as explosions or bright lights within the video. This only happens during AirPlay, and when watching content on Safari. Chrome doesn’t have this issue. Does anyone know what might be causing this? My MacBook Air is running Ventura 13.5.1.

with Airplay Udemy video blackens the whole screen on TV but sound plays Udemy Black Screen Video but Audio working - Apple Community This seems to be old issue (above link), but the problem seems to persist. I have the same earlier several times reported problem with Macbook Pro mid 2015 and iPadpro 4th gen. All software updated, sidecar usage not even possible. Now this problem appears not only on Safari, but Chrome and Firefox, too. Screen goes black if even a little of the video portion is visible on your iPad screen. If you scroll the page up so that udemy-video is off the screen, black screen on tv disappears and it shows rest of the udemy-page normally. Still I can play youtube videos with no problem, appears udemy-centric problem. This has to be bug. Hope this gets fixed soon…

Can't access control center or a different desktop while using AirPlay(video). Currently it appears in MacOS 13, when an end user is using AirPlay to play an video from an app on an iPhone, the screen becomes full screen and end users are unable to open control center or swap out of the fullscreen mode by swiping left, right, up or even using the control buttons and left right and up buttons. It would be nice to use my code editor while using AirPlay since the videos don't work well or at all on udemy website with audio on safari. (whole different issue, probably Udemy's site issue) If this is not a bug and the current feature is as designed to stay full screen until exiting out, can I make a suggestion and allow this feature to be controlled as it is in safari with full screen videos? I feel limited and I've heard that this works if I have another monitor but that seems to limit the features within the macOS software for end users that do not have an separate monitor or display hook up. End goal would be to be able to pause or even keep the window open while using a different program like a code editor within a different virtual desktop, or allow users to return to their main desktop without having to pause. exit out of full screen (which kills the stream), and then recast the video to the MacBook. Picture in Picture mode would be nice as well for airplay. Thank you, and if there is a better place to add these suggestions please let me know.
