Streaming video on Safari goes black while audio continues I have had a persistent problem with streaming video from by our cable provider, Amazon Prime Video, and Netflix since the original installation of macOS Big Sur. Essentially the screen goes black appx 30 seconds into play, although the audio continues as normal and if subtitles were in use they continue. This occurs every time like clockwork, can only return to video for appx 30 seconds if you click out and then back in, but the same problem persists. I have frequently scrubbed through Apple Communities discussions and other internet sources since it began but have found nothing that discusses the same problem. I am operating an iMac 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, running the current versions of macOS Big Sur, Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB graphics, and 21.5-inch (4096 × 2304) Retina display. This problem has persisted since the original Big Sur OS was installed, currently running 11.2.3. The problem does not exist on our MacBook Air running the same macOS Big Sur update, nor on this iMac prior to the Big Sur installation, nor on my previous 2013 version iMac. It also does not exist when running Google Chrome and Firefox on my iMac (at least I have that workaround). I would be eager to learn if others have experienced it and possible remedies.

Udemy Videos not working on M1 MacBook Air Some Udemy videos have a black screen but still, play sound. I tried turning off all my extensions, clearing cookies and history, trying Chrome instead (Incognito as well), and downloading the videos to play them locally as an mp4, but the outcome is always the same. All the videos work when I try it on my windows PC (Chrome) so I'm not sure what exactly is happening. Even the downloaded videos worked on my windows PC.

Hey there, abem32!

We appreciate you reaching out on Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re unable to view movies properly when using HBOMax on a Mac. We definitely want you to be able to enjoy those movies with ease, and can take a look with you.

If this is only occurring with movies on HBOMax, we’d recommend following: Find out how to fix issues with streaming HBO Max on a computer browser.

If that doesn’t resolve it for you, you can contact them directly for assistance using: HBO Max | Help Center

Cheers!
