Refusing to post the output of the required "garuda-inxi" on a help request will likely result in you not receiving any help from the Garuda team. A failure to provide your system specs may also result in your thread being closed without notice, (as without this information providing assistance is often next to impossible).

Before opening a new help request, please search the Arch and Garuda Wiki's, and read any relevant sections related to your issue. Also, thoroughly search any error messages in the forum's search engine and on the web. For in depth information on how to search for answers to Linux issues effectively, read the tips on the Garuda Wiki:

Please report in detail everything you have already attempted to solve your problem.

The template above should be deleted before posting your help request.

Have you done a reboot since and retried?

I have only had this happen to me once in the whole time I’ve used Garuda, and a quick refresh of the page fixed it that time.
Maybe you should also link the video in question because it could only be you, or it could be an issue for everyone. It’s very hard to know what type of video this is without having a link to it since videos can come in many different formats.

Also, what browser are you using to view it? That may be relevant :person_shrugging:
