Why do recipients receive blank text bubble instead of pictures or videos on Mac Messages app?

I can receive pictures videos etc on my Mac but whenever I send anything it goes through on my side and shows in my message app but the person just receives a blank text bubble. I had this issue on my last Mac and recently updated to a new one today and still the same issue. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

No its Apple users and iMessage that I've tried. I have even tried sending pictures from Mac to my iPhone and I just receive blank text bubbles as well. I have tried air dropping pictures from my camera roll on my phone to my Mac and then send them back through the Messages app but still just receive a blank text bubble. I have tried gifs I've downloaded, jpegs from my computer, mp4s and nothing is received on the other end. It will Show on my side but not for the recipient.
