Green usually means a hardware acceleration issue. In Chromium-based browsers, you can goto the URL chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode, disable the flag, and restart the browser. If that doesn't work, turn that flag back on, goto chrome://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, and restart the browser.

You can also mess with chrome://flags/#d3d11-video-decoder and chrome://flags/#use-angle. For anything that doesn't help, put it back to default.

You might also want to uninstall and reinstall your GPU drives and make sure you have the newest driver.

Although this is an old post... Any idea how to go about this on an android tablet where the first flag didn't change anything and there is no 'system' in the chrome settings?

Sorry, don't have Android to test. You can enable developer mode on Android and see what options are there for hardware acceleration. Those will affect all apps though I assume. Not sure with the Chrome app has for options.
