I have a 2016 MacBook Pro w touch bar and every time I stream something the computer gets very hot and the battery drains like crazy as well. 1 hour of movie and my battery went to 68% from 100. Keyboard lighting is off, TB is off.

Is this normal? I just never really paid attention to this, but it just gets so hot behind and on top of TB.

Never had this many issues with Apple devices that I am having with this Pro right now and thats just another one again.

Another thing is one of my usb c ports no longer charges the MacBook and I have to wiggle it around for it to charge in that particular one, the rest are all good thus far. Thats just another issue I've been experiencing lately.

Is it flash video? Are you using chrome browser? Is it 4K video? Depending on where you stream from and what you are streaming can make a massive difference to resource use.
