No video when streaming on chrome or safari

I have not used streaming on my Mac for a while and tried today - audio plays but no video using current versions of Chrome or Safari. The Stream App works fine on my iPhone & iPad. I've done the usual things like restart the cable modem, router & Mac but no joy. IIRC, there used to be a Flash issue but now that Flash is gone, what has changed? Anyone have a fix for this?

Same problem.

Works with Chrome however, on the same computer.

Clue: Just updated OS from Mohave (10.14) to Monterey (OS 12).

It worked perfectly before the update, and has failed since.

Suggestions?

I am just using "Web Stream" (https://www.xfinity.com/stream/) which I have bookmarked. Simple login to my account.

Again - working on Chrome, but not Safari (my proffered browser) version 15.4. OS is Monterey 12.3.1 on a Mac mini 

Same issue as others - starts with program for a few seconds with video, then black screen with audio only...

Hello, @user_cc948b, are you able to let us know if you are not getting a picture while using all browsers on your Mac? As of now we don't have a confirmed issue with Xfinity Stream. For most of our customers that has been a computer or browser issue. Our recommendations are to test with multiple browsers and PCs to help identify the issue.

mryflyguy

is your issue fixed?   has Comcast given you any answers/info about the problem ?
or

do they just keep asking the same question?


Comcast seems to be very apologetic about our concerns but do little to nothing to help

Thanks for asking. How I wish I had an additional reply, but have heard nothing from the vendor, yet. I'm surprised that a customer must adjust their own behavior to fit the product instead of the vendor modifying the product to include, and therefore appeal to, a wider audience. Follow up on my part: I begrudgingly tried another browser, FireFox, and by golly I can watch live and streaming, on Mac and all connected monitors. To test further, I logged into my Comcast account using Safari, on my Mac (2018 MacBook Pro, OS 12.4) screen. HUZZAH, I could watch live and stream, *if* I started on the Mac screen and moved the site to another monitor. However, when I moved the website *back* to the Mac screen, audio continued, video disappeared. No matter where I moved the site thereafter, video didn’t appear. Let's face it, in this day and age, multiple monitors are rather common. Are these issues so technologically difficult? I choose to believe Comcast webmasters can fix them with ease. Please, make it happen.
