Hi,

Try the dimming / brightening keys. Top left just right of the esc key.

video glitching in safari and chrome When I stream videos from Youtube or BeachBody the video is extremely glitchy. This happens in both Safari and Chrome. I'm running Monterey 12.2.1. Only 57GB out of 121GB are being used on the HD. Have 8GB RAM on this MacBook Air '17. For comparison, I have a 2nd, identical MacBook Air upon which these same videos work no problem.

Netflix Video Black when Screen sharing from Mac I have literally been doing it this way for almost 5 months now. I'm using the Language Reactor plug to help with my language studies. I was away from home for about 4 days. I come home and suddenly the Netflix video goes black but there is audio when I try to screen mirror to my Samsung TV as a separate display and mirror my laptop. This issue only occurs with Netflix on Chrome. Netflix shows video with Firefox and YouTube video shows on Chrome while screen sharing. I've been looking on the Internet for over an hour, but can't find anything related to this in my search. I've restarted the laptop and Chrome 3 times. I have a Macbook Air with the M1 processor running on Monterey 12.2.1. My Chrome browser is up-to-date. Does anyone else have this issue or know what could possibly be cause things to happen all of a sudden? This is literally the only way I watch Netflix now adays because of my studies.
