HELP!! SLOW VIDEO PLAYBACK ON MACBOOK PRO

These are my specs

OS X El Capitan 10.11.6

128 SSD (kingston)

8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

2.52 GHZ INTEL CORE 2 DUO

Nvidia Geforce 9400m 256mb


Whenever I use this macbook it's very fast and has no lag but when i'm watching videos in youtube in 1080p theres a slight delay that's noticeable. Is there anything I can do to improve the performance maybe in the settings or something? THANKS

OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
