      What video codecs are used in online services?

      • H.264 / AVC: The de facto standard for most videos on the web. Supported almost everywhere.
      • H.265 / HEVC: A more modern and efficient codec, especially common on smart TVs and Apple devices.
      • VP9: Developed by Google, actively used on YouTube for 4K and high-quality videos.
      • AV1: The latest open and free codec. Promises the highest compression efficiency. Little support in devices and online services.

      What is DRM and why is it needed?

      DRM isn’t just “protection from pirates”. It is a set of technologies that allows streaming platforms to legally provide you with content in the highest quality (HD, 4K, HDR), without fear of leakage. Without DRM support, you will either not be able to watch the video at all, or it will only be available in low resolution.

      What are the DRM systems?

      The most common systems in browsers:

      • Widevine (from Google): The most popular standard for browsers Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera.
      • PlayReady (from Microsoft): Most often used on Windows devices and in the Microsoft Edge browser.
      • FairPlay (from Apple): Apple ecosystem (Safari, macOS, iOS).

      Common causes and solutions to DRM issues in your browser

      • Outdated browser: Update your browser to the latest version.
      • Hardware acceleration is disabled: Enable this setting in your browser.
      • OS or driver issues: Update your video drivers and operating system.
      • Using incognito mode or strict privacy protection: Some extensions and settings block DRM modules.
      • OS without hardware encryption support: For example, some versions of Linux or Windows in no-decryption mode TPM.
