Hello everyone,
I'm hoping to get some help with a video playback issue on Opera for Android. I really want to switch to Opera because it's so fast and light, but this video problem is the only thing stopping me.
The Problem:
When I play videos in the Opera browser, the playback is very choppy and laggy, as if it's running at a low frame rate.
Important Details:
I have thoroughly tested this. The exact same videos play perfectly smoothly in multiple other browsers, including Brave, Chrome, Vivaldi, and Ulaa. The choppy, low-FPS playback issue is happening only in Opera. This confirms the problem is specific to the Opera app and not my device or internet.
I have already tried all the basic fixes: clearing the cache, clearing all app data, and completely reinstalling Opera. The problem is still there on a fresh install.
My Device Information:
Phone Model: OnePlus Nord 2T
Android Version: Android 14
Opera Version: 92.1.4866.85656
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known fix or a setting I can change? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
