I have Chrome Version 65.0.3325.162 (Official Build) (64-bit)
on 4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64 with i915 graphics
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Skylake GT2 [HD Graphics 520] [8086:1916] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
And chrome://gpu says Video Decode: Unavailable
And it points to this bug:

- zanny 8y agoYou need a VAAPI build of Chromium, it isn't on by default. Arch has a PKGBUILD in the repo: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-vaapi/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chromium-vaapi/ and I think there are builds for most popular distros out there nowadays. If you are on Arch or one of its family you can get a -bin version in the AUR or use ArchlinuxCN that builds it in their repo.
- cmurf 8y agoThe Chromium in Fedora's standard repo is built with it, and when I run it chrome://gpu does say video hardware acceleration is enabled. But at least with a handful of youtube videos, it doesn't matter, still uses 200%+ CPU, same as Chrome (no acceleration), laptop still gets hot and fans still run.
