Suddenly can't screen share Netflix or Amazon Prime. Using MacBook Air M1

Sounds like it could be HDCP.  Being on a Mac, not sure if there's much you can do.

I had the same problem. Go to Chrome (three dots in upper right), Settings, Advanced, System, Turn off "Use hardware acceleration."

this worked for me.

Thank you; that worked!... for amazon and I'm sure it will for netflix.  However, it won't work with old-fashioned DVDs.  Any ideas?

It might be because of the DRM protection. You can try to download the videos using a third-party downloader tool like Tunelf, then share the local video files.
