Any update?
Hi, @PaulaRodriguez, if you need a loan then you can visit https://apps.apple.com/us/app/small-loan-money-borrowing/id6444898467 here where you will find the downloading link for Small Loan - Money Borrowing app through which you can get a loan. I have also got a loan with the help of that app and that is why I shared it with you because that app is trustworthy if it comes to getting a loan. -

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.

If Netflix is playing sound but not showing the picture, start by checking your internet connection and ensuring your browser or app is up to date. I'm a college student and I need a LOAN. Can anyone help me, please?

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!

The issue is due to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) - check the following article: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/830301-content-protected-video-does-not-play-on-mac-while

Hi, I had the same issue and managed to fix it by allowing recording for chrom in apple settings.
setting>privace & Security>Screen Recording
and then just turn on the recordings for chrome, restart chrome.

Same issue, Netflix, Hulu, DIrectTv Stream and others.

Having this same issue with Hulu as well. No picture, only sound until I disconnect DisplayLink.
I did try the user suggestion below to disable hardware acceleration in the browser and the Hulu video plays normally again, but this isn't ideal as I'm noticing some other wonky graphics behavior without hardware acceleration. -

I think i Figured out the problem. It is a security issue with the way the usb adapter works. You are not allow to record streaming services. The adapter uses recording software to stream to a monitor and the internet thinks you are stealing and cut you off. once I stopped the Displaylink software all the streaming services worked fine.
