-== Enable GPU accelerated video decoding (VA-API) ==
+== Accelerated video playback ==
-VA-API is enabled by default now in Chromium. Check chrome://gpu if it is working and if VA is detected. You may need to enable Hardware-accelerated video decode in chrome://flags.
+Make sure [[Accelerated Video Playback]] is setup on the system properly. Check {{ic|chrome://gpu}} to see if Chromium has enabled hardware acceleration.
-Make sure the required VA-API drivers are installed: [[Accelerated Video Playback]]
+If accelerated video playback is not working, check relevant flags at {{ic|chrome://flags}}, or enable them using the cli:
+{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>
-Make sure your driver works by running: <code>nix-shell -p libva-utils --run vainfo</code>
