Macbook Pro M1 cannot stream Youtube or any other video streaming when connected to monitor through HDMI

Same as the title, when connecting to monitor or TV (with dongle) through HDMI port, somehow I can't stream video, on Youtube the video will be just blank with voices, on any other streaming service such as Netflix, it will be just blank not buffering. but if I unplug the HDMI cable, those videos will stream just fine


what happened and how to fix it? it's so annoying and I can't watch videos or movies on my monitor

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6

Thanks for replying, kurodp, and that additional info, it really helps! First, try running First Aid on your hard drive with the built in Disk Utility tool, as this can correct simple issues like you're experiencing.

Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:



  • Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
  • Loads only required kernel extensions
  • Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
  • Disables user-installed fonts
  • Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files



Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.
