Disable Hardware Acceleration in Google Chrome

A recent Chrome update seems to be conflicting with streaming video. Disabling Hardware Acceleration fixes the problem

  • Open Chrome
  • Click the three dots on the top right of the screen then click ‘settings’
  • Click the three lines on the top left of the screen
  • Click ‘advanced’ then click ‘system’
  • Uncheck ‘Use hardware acceleration when available’
  • Click ‘Relaunch’

Chrome will restart and the streamed video will play properly.
