Mitch Lake commented
turn off harddrive acceleration in Google Chrome Settings > System > use graphics acceleration when available (relaunch browser).

Disabling Hardware Acceleration works, but sometimes you need Hardware Acceleration (eg. for Figma, or Teams online).
Thats why I just use Chrome as main Browser, and Firefox for Netflix. Works perfectly
Update: With MacOS Sonoma, this doesnt seem to work anymore. damn

@DisplayLink
Is there any solution on the roadmap? Don't want to switch the browser. Would be great to have any information about the issue and the handling -

I’ve turned off hardware acceleration in Firefox but still have this issue in the newest macOS on MBP M3.

Some sites require the hardware acceleration to be on and switching it on and off because of DRM issues and display link, I more than just annoying!

Disable hardware acceleration in the browser and you should be good - Safari may not have this option though. So use another browser.

is there still no universal fix for this? Not being able to watch videos on my main browser is quite a big ask and really should've been sorted by now surely!?

Solution: Go into Chrome Settings. Search for "hardware". Disable "Use hardware acceleration when available" and restart chrome. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have images again. -

It's because of the screen recording integration that Display Link has. I don't know why they even have that, because it feels privacy violating. But streaming services don't want you to screen record their content, so you only get a black screen. Because Display Link is non-stop recording your screen. I hope they are going to remove this nonsense integration. Because this tempers with people their workflows and usage of their screens.

It is rather annoying not to be able to watch on one screen while working on the other...

Thank you @Aslam! @DisplayLink can we get an update on this? It's very frustrating to not be able to use hardware acceleration on chrome. This issue exists across Safari as well.
Please update!

SOLUTION:
Hey Guys! This is a problem with DRM. Websites that protect their content don't show when DisplayLink is on, because the way they emulate a screen is like "recording it". To get around this, download a web browser that is not safari, go into options and disable hardware acceleration, It should work fine :) -

@jeremy krans solution worked perfectly for me! Thanks dude!
