I notice my laptop struggles when playing videos and other users with lower-end computers also have issues with performance. There should be a way to disable hardware acceleration like it chrome and it may help in some cases.

app.disableHardwareAcceleration()

Disables hardware acceleration for current app.
This method can only be called before app is ready.
