I click on a video to play it and I get this;
I tried clicking on Learn More and I get a black screen in the player window - when I click on the YouTube icon bottom right it takes me to the YouTube home page, not the video.
It’s working for me, whether I’m signed into YouTube or not. Chrome on Windows.
I have the same problem at times. It seems to have been working better again for about two weeks now. And I only have the problem on my iPhone, not on my Windows PC.
Would you like to post the URL to the video?
I get the same, but only on iPad and only sporadically. It’s not specific to any video. So far, I never saw this on a desktop PC.
I haven’t seen this on my win PC ever… - until now
I should have said I’m on a Mac using Safari. I’ll try Firefox in the morning.
It’s not just this video and it’s not every video on the forums but it’s happening quite often.
There may be specific settings on the video on the you.tube side that prevent embeds, etc. from working properly.
I think it must have something to do with the devices. While the error occurred on my iPhone with IOS 18.1, it works flawlessly after the update to 18.2. And as already described, I have never had any problems on the Windows PC.
I’ve had no problems this morning with playing videos in Firefox, so it’s a Safari problem. Firefox increasingly better at this kind of thing.
