Video freezes until mouse moved

Since today, when I start watching a video, after a few seconds the video (just the video, not the audio) freezes. It stays frozen until I move my mouse, then freezes again after a few seconds until I move my mouse, and so on.

I'm using Chrome version 62.0.3202.94 on macOS Sierra, the problem appears in both, full screen and "windowed" video mode.

Did anyone else experience this before?

Is it just on Laracasts or are you having this problem on youtube and the like as well?

@Hawkleaf Good call, hadn't checked ._. Youtube works just fine, but on Vimeo – where they use the same video player, I believe – I have the same issue.

Might not be a laracasts issue but an issue of the video player in use (what was the name again...?).

I believe Jeffrey way uses VideoJS. Maybe check it's github issue's?

I noticed the other day a message in the console saying playback was disabled without user interaction, so think it’s a Vimeo thing where they’re blocking auto-playing videos.
