Video won't play in tab, but audio plays outside of the tab

Whenever I try to load a video on a website it constantly buffers and loads. The pictures don't even load. However, if I keep that tab and switch to a different one, after ~20 seconds the audio will begin playing and the video itself will load. But, if I switch back to that tab the video will stop playing and begin buffering again. I have already tried disabling all of my extensions/add-ons, turned down certain performance settings, and enabled some video-audio permissions. Other applications load videos just fine.
