Hello everyone,

Any online video keeps freezing in my macbook 2016 (non-touchbar). Youtube, twitch, you name it. This happens both on safari and chrome, which makes me think it has something to do with my videochip. When you click on any video, the image itself freezes every 5-10 seconds, but the sound continues. If you move your cursor - the video will temporarily unfreezes but freezes again when you stop moving the cursor. It literally drives me nuts. This issue has been present since the very beginning when I purchased the macbook and it really makes me wanna buy a windows laptop instead. I tried googling it and no results, seems like I'm the only person on the Earth having this trouble. Any recommendations?
