If you are using 20.04, Disabling the 'Use hardware acceleration when available' option works for me. Open a new tab and type the following chrome://settings/?search=hardware
Turn-off the option Use hardware acceleration when available and relaunch the browser.
Hope this helps
Set page zoom to 90% and those lines will dissapear, but this only work when you watch video in normal and full screen mode. Hope it will be helpul :D
For intel integrated graphics drive do this command:
sudo apt install video-intel
asterick * is used to tell terminal to select specifically 'video-intel- packs and install them. Look for 'hwe' in the name of the packs. That is the driver to support hardware acceleration. Those lines are caused due lack of hardware acceleration driver. I installed 'hwe' driver and it worked. Everything is now buttery smooth and youtube player lines are gone.
Disable 'Use hardware acceleration when available' also worked for me
In your chrome browser, go to Settings>Advanced>System and switch off " Hardware Acceleration" and restart the browser. That was how I was able to fix mine.
