Would appreciate a few words explaining why I should visit reddit.

So we've had a few tickets in for videos uploaded to Google Drive not able to playback while others work. After some research, ends up that it is only videos that were uploaded to Drive after 3/1. This only effects certain machines (so far it appears to be some desktops, not laptops).

Looking at Google Workplace release notes--it appears they moved to MPEG-Dash for videos uploaded after 3/1 with all older video uploads to be converted later. (https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2024/02/release-notes-03-01-2024.html)

Not sure if anyone else has run across this. I tried the obvious (Browser Hardware Acceleration) and now I'm looking at drivers.

And what does Google support say?
