Thank you!! This was driving me crazy since months. I always assume it was a drivers / video issue. The walkaround solved my problem on Brave browser.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND SOUL. i’ve had this issue with my macbook from the jump about a year and a half ago. i’ve tried getting this issue fixed at the genius bar and even there they were no help. you seriously don’t even realize how much this helped, last semester i used youtube a lot for some of my classes which were online (the professors would upload their lectures here) and it was so hard for me to copy notes when the screen was constantly flickering. and it was so annoying trying to watch livestreams on youtube because my screen flickered even more on livestreams. thank you so much, this fixed it immediately.

OMG!!! Thank you! I just searched the whole internet to fix this problem....I just bought new cables... installed new drivers and spent nearly a month to fix this... I was ready to buy a new monitor when i decided to check for the last time on youtube, maybe i missed one of the videos.... I am so glad i did and i found your video. Non of the solutions worked before.. You just saved me a lot of money! You just won a subscriber!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This has been driving me crazy for months and I thought it was a drivers/website issue and now it runs competely normal you are a lifesaver!
It's hard to find videos like this anymore. Simple and effective. Thank you!
This was genuinely a massive help. I’ve been having this issue for a few weeks now with no clue why it was happening. I went and updated all my drivers, tried different monitors, everything I could manage except a new gpu. This solved my issue when nothing else would, thank you so much
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Saved up for years to buy a brand new laptop with really good specs only to have it play videos like a potato. Can't tell you how grateful I am to have stumbled across this video.
This fixed my screen flickering on youtube, and your video on how to do it was very easy to understand. Thanks my dude.

Same here, have a brand-new, premium Lenovo Legion laptop since August 2023 and first noticed that stuff back then that was happening from time to time and at first thought it is some GPU issues. Havent noticed it on desktop apps as far as I am aware.
This fixed the issue for me when watching videos on KZread or Twitter. Thank you so much, screen flickering on Chrome has been a huge issue for me since I replaced my old, broken hardware and I was SO SCARED it was a hardware issue. Thank God it wasn't.
this video is 2 years old...But the instructions still work today...Thanks guy, I almost went out to get a new video card, but this fixed my issue
Thank you! this started happening to me only recently and the way the flickering looked made me very worried that it was my GPU causing the issue. Glad it was a simple fix!!

Getting the issue too. It’s only Chrome and only on youtube. Didn’t update GPU drivers recently so idk what caused it. The solution in this video works but I’m scared it’s GPU related. I downgraded my NVIDIA drivers and so far, I haven’t seen it even with Hardware Acceleration turned on in Chrome.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this fix. I've had this issue for 6 months now and I've noticed it in the new windows 11 update and from then on I thought it was something wrong with my laptop. I had tried everything including consulting the repair shop, and they were all as clueless as me. If only I had seen This video sooner, I would have avoided 6 months of anguish and brain damage. Thank You So Much For This Incredible Fix.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH IT WORKED!!!! A TUTORIAL THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!! I'm not actually having the same problem as you had but it was very similar, the everytime my cursor hovered over the video it either went REALLY DARK or just straight black and of course it was the full screen that flickered when it was in full screen.
2 years and its so useful! Thank you you're a lifesaver. My heart sank I just bought an ROG laptop and i was wondering why its flickering
Life saver. Netflix player started flickering, I tried to fix it but couldn't so I gave up and went to KZread, but it started flickering too. It finally stopped now. Thank you.

It was happening on Brave, but not on Firefox so I knew it was a browser issue. But I never would have guessed this was the fix. I almost didnt finish watching your video because when you got to the part about the hardware accelerator setting I figured mine was a shoe in since it was already on. But then I listened for just a few more seconds and voila, the most counterintuitive solution; to turn it off. But why? Who knows, but it works!
Thank you very much, bro. I assumed it was an Nvidia driver issue. I've already lowered the driver version, but it still flickers when watching videos. Thank you so much for this instruction, buddy!
Thank god! This problem started occuring right when I installed my new 32gb ram... Thought I had to send it back to the store. Ty so much

Seems to work for me. Thank you very much. Thought my GPU was dying. I had bad luck with my last one and I was thinking 'not again...'. Thanks again :)
I didnt get any results while searching for hardware but instead on the same screen where the magnifying glass is on the left-hand side theres an option that says "System", thats where those 3 options pop up, and badaboom badabing its fixed. Thank you mate for this, life saver!
You saved me a lot of frustration on watching videos. Thanks a whole bunch! 😁

This was exactly the problem.. My stupid browser.. figures. I AM SO GREATFULL TO YOU! Finding your video saved me from dismantling my laptop again thinking it could be posibly something not connected properly.. who knows what I would have tried next if I didn't stumble on your video. 😆you sir are an 😇
