Flicking Screen

Hi, can anyone help me?

I am currently trying to watch Sky Go on my Asus Chromebook laptop and all of a sudden the screen is flickering when I am watching someone I have recorded. Anyone ever had this before and knows a way how to fix as its getting really annoying.

Thank you 🙂

Have you tried turning your Chromebook off then back on again ?

I have the same issue using sky go on my Pixelbook Go, I guess it's some sort of Chrome OS compatibility issue with the app 😔. Full screen is even worse.

Hi I have found this thread because I am experiencing a similar issue on my Lenono Chromebook Flex 3.

I know this will sound odd, but I find using the spacebar to pause or play a video seems to initiate flickering. If you can use SkyGo without the spacebar - point and click instead, you may find you avoid the issue.

My current use-case is downloading shows and watching them offline (due to temporary wifi and mobile data issues). I've not tried this with live streaming. Good luck.

I have as asus chrombook that flickers when I watch any on demand service on the sky go app. I noticed that it flickers when the 'shelf' taskbar at the bottom of the screen auto hides itself. if i get the shelf to reappear on the screen then the screen stops flickering. flickering does not occur when watching any live channels just the on demand stuff. ive tried changing setting on chrome but nothing helps. any suggestions? tia
