Brand-new MacBook Pro won't play videos on Safari

I can't get my MacBook Pro to play videos in Safari.

On video platforms like YouTube and BBC iPlayer it just shows the first frame of the video. Occasionally, if I leave it to "run", it will skip to a frame further on in the video, but it's never play any sound and never show any video.

On Facebook or Instagram it will very occasionally play a bit of a video, but generally the same issue.

Our wifi is working fine, and videos are playing no problem on phones, iPad and iMac.

The computer is two months old and did work for a while before this issue arose.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.5

Read and follow all the steps in If Safari on Mac doesn't open a webpage or isn't working as expected - Apple Support.

In addition to them try simply restarting your Mac in the usual manner.
