Mac book pro, Catalina 10.15.7

Using thunderbolt 2 adapter with HDMI to Samsung TV

Streaming runs fine when using non-full screen

You Tube runs full screen with no issues on TV

When streaming in full screen it runs for 10 seconds or so then freezes and sound continues briefly and then shuts down.

Occurs both using wi-fi or when running wired internet

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

See if there is any insight in similar—

Live stream keeps freezing

streaming video freezes when steaming video macbook

MacBook Pro freezing while streaming YouTube video

in general—

unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS

To trouble shoot further you can:

—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
