Anybody experiencing problems with Youtube videos not playing?

None of the videos I click on on Youtube are playing

I’m watching Youtube now in Japan and it works fine .

[US_MilitaryRules]

Works fine for me! Use a different browser. Brave works the best.

[plain talk]

On it right now and Youtube working fine here.

[stevio]

Yes. It’s not reading my mind like it usually does. I’m bored.

Do a search Youtube videos are not playing

I’ve had it happen a couple of times recently.

I turn it off and check later. Then it’s OK.

You’re not alone.

The problem I have with YouTube is typing out a whole comment to a video and then having it vanish. Sometimes, lately. the video has sound, but no picture.

While we’re discussing YouTube, anybody else seeing ads on the upper right featuring hard core pornography? Doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what they’re advertising.

I’m watching one now in PIP mode.

X is giving me issues today. It’s making my processors get hot.

[Bullish]

working fine... It’s on your end most likely.

You are not bending over far enough when you click on them.

YouTube doesn't believe you know your place, grab your ankles.

Trying that, no luck. I can access the site but when I click on a video, the video screen goes black with a thing that indicates it is cycling or buffering........

[butlerweave]

Check the video’s setting Quality it could be like 1440p60 and you computer can’t handle it , I keep them at 720p60

[Fresh Wind]

Are you using a VPN? If so, that could be the problem.

I'm not having that problem, but other problems I've had, is that after I watch a video to the complete end, and it goes to the screen with other videos to watch, when I return to the home page, and reload the page to see the red line along the bottom of the video I just watched to make sure the line goes all the way to the end, on many of the videos, the red line is only half or three-quarters of the way through, making it look like I haven't watched the video to the end. Reloading the page does nothing. The red line remains incomplete

The other issue that recently arose is every video I open, and try to click on the up vote, I can't get the up vote to accept my vote. I have to move the screen up a bit more, and hitting it multiple times, it will eventually accept my vote. One last issue I have periodically, but not on the same videos, is the picture will freeze, remain frozen for a while, then suddenly speeds up when it starts again, then return to normal speed.

The last problem I get periodically is that videos will buffer with the little circle going around or sit frozen. I'm not running anything else on my laptop while I'm watching them, and I have to reload the video page to get it going again.

You're probably sorry now that you asked if anyone was having problems with YouTube.
