Streamning issues
My mac won't stream anything. Not Netflix, Hbo, Disney etc. It's not an internet issue, I'm certain.
For some reason YouTube is fine but that is the only one.
Can anyone help?

Leon,
If it's just Safari on the Mac, then you might want to check for any extensions or content blockers that are interfering with video:
You can also try clearing cache/cookies for Safari: Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac
Cheers.
Leonkv,
Knowing what happens when you try to stream can be helpful. Especially if you are getting any error messages. Here are a few other things to check out and to help isolate:
Cheers!
Hi everyone!
I thank you all so much for the help. It turns out that the macOS Monterey wasn't installed on my Mac and that was the whole problem. :)
If you are experiencing the same difficulties as me, you should check your updates.
Kind regards
Leon

You might also check to see if there are restrictions added to your Mac. If your Mac is managed by a school or business, you'd want to contact the IT department to confirm this.
If this doesn't help, please give us more information. Could you be in Family Sharing and your parent has restricted the access? Using Safari to view the sites? Are you receiving any error messages?
Kind regards.
Take care!
Hi!
Thank you for the respons! The issues I'm experiencing are at Safari, so there are no apps in the picture. Nothing is supposed to be restricted as far as I'm concerned, and I'm receiving no error messages either. I can visit the sites but if I try to watch a video on them, it just keeps loading forever.
I have never had this type of issue on this many sites before so I have no idea what is going on.
Kind regards
Leon
Hi!
Thank you for the response! I just tried all of that and I still can't stream anything other than YouTube.
Kind regards
Leon
Glad to hear it's working Leonkv,
If you have any other problems, just let us know.
Have a great day!
