Setting up a new computer is bliss — no old, unused apps and the machine performs much better than the previous. Unfortunately, you may encounter new problems based on the new hardware. One such issue I encountered with my new MacBook was a “This video format is not supported” message when I went to YouTube TV.

Not being able to watch my favorite live show is a real problem. After a bit of research, I found the solution to the “This video format is not supported” error message. To solve this problem:

1. Open your browser settings and do a search for DRM
2. You should see reference to Widevine, a form of DRM
3. Enable this Widevine setting
4. Restart your web browser

Enabling Widevine within your browser will make your YouTube TV video feed work properly. Better than needing to install a codec like the good old days, right?
