Chrome HTML5 videos in fullscreen are black when Intel graphics are enabled OR hardware acceleration is enabled
There's a chrome bug for this here: http://crbug.com/622167
Try upgrading to Chrome 52, via the beta channel (or wait for a few weeks for it to be released to stable).
I had what sounds like the same problem on Version 51.0.2704.106 m (64-bit), and after I upgraded to Version 52.0.2743.60 beta-m (64-bit) today it was fixed.
After restarting chrome it seems like my changes only fixed the issue temporarily, as a side-effect of starting chrome when the internal laptop screen was my main display.
I did a few experiments, and found the following:
- It's not related to HTML5 video, it happens any time you enter full screen mode (by pressing F11 on any page).
- It only happens when the external monitor is marked as the "main display" in Windows's display settings. Making the laptop's screen the main display and "extending" onto the external monitor made full-screen on the external monitor work.
Quick fix: Startup chrome with this flag: --disable-direct-composition
Pop into the shortcut for running chrome and append that flag to the target like the image below:
