Hello deba_shish,


To help resolve this issue, quit Safari and restart your Mac. Sometimes a simple restart can help refresh the network connection and processes on your Mac and resolve many issues.

Here's how: Quit apps on Mac - Apple Support

Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support


If the issue persists, create a new user to see if the same thing occurs there. This will let you know if this is an issue in your user account, or if this occurs in Safari system wide. This article shows you how to create a new user account: Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support



Best Regards.

Same problem here, it started a few weeks ago when I set the AutoPlay settings for YouTube to "never autoplay", then set it back to "allow all autoplay". It seems this triggered the bug but I have not been able to fix it. YouTube videos don't always pause when seeking, but they do so most of the time. Videos on other websites work fine. The issue happens in Safari, but not in Chrome. I have restarted and cleared caches, it has not helped.

No. I reset Safari, deleted everything, cache, cookies, and all the stuff in Terminal that is usually suggested to reset Safari, uninstalled all extensions, but it didn't help. A new user account doesn't have this issue. But migrating all my data is too much hassle for this, I'd rather just switch to using Chrome (which does not have this issue).

Yes! once you mute the video this functionality returns to normal (you can seek with tap) and even when you unmute it, but only on this video. When you go to another video it's stop workin again, but if you mute and unmute again it works, and this is workaround for each video you visit. Mute and Unmute. Also if you use click on trackpad (if you on MacBook or on Mac with trackpad) instead of tap it works without muting unmuting.
