Remote Desktop on MacOS and Video Streaming Problems

To work around problems streaming content from certain services like Hulu and Paramount+, I installed the Meta Remote Desktop client on my Macbook Air M1 2020. I have the latest MacOS 15.2. No matter which browser I use (Chrome or Safari so far) when I play content on a streaming service, I hear audio but no video (black background). If I hover the mouse over the progress bar it shows video in a thumbnail. Once I remove my headset the video appears.

Any ideas?

I found a solution from an earlier time that worked! In Chrome, go to Settings, type in graphics to filter the list and change Use graphics acceleration when available to OFF.
