Upgrade to Monterey makes streaming video picture black while sound is fine.

I just upgraded to Monterey, version 12.5. this morning. This evening I tried to watch several shows on Netflix and also on Amazon Prime, but while the sound played fine, the picture was black, no matter what show I chose to watch. The picture for video advertisements showed ok, but not the picture for the program itself.


Hulu, on the other hand, works fine.


Anyone have any suggestions?

I should have mentioned that I tried both Chrome and Safari. And disconnected the external monitor.


However later in the evening I cleared the Chrome cache, stopped Webex, and restarted the computer. Afterwards video streamed fine, not only on Chrome but also on Safari, even though I didn't clear the cache there. So either it was the restart of the stopping of Webex that solved the problem.
