[@HITESHFRANCOAMME]

help me with this... its lading all the way since 2 hours

[@mmuller794]

This is literally the only video/article that actually explained the proper solution. Thank you!

[@MRGO0OSE]

What is the solution?? We can read the comments but cant watch the video

[@adrianelward689]

How am I supposed to watch this??

[@tinymosquito3712]

THE BEST WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO LET YOUR PHONE DISCHARGE AND THEN CHARGE IT AGAIN

[@beansszn]

*POV: you try to find the fix but this video doesnt play...*

[@usmankarimi8321]

Yup

[@McSquidOfficial]

same

[@SisterLev]

Someone who actually had a solution! THANK YOU!

[@misunl74]

I've been having this problem for a long time. Thank you for solving it!

[@billallert9963]

Worked perfectly. Disabled an extension. Thank you!

[@21babyjoker]

My issue is weird, i have 1 Gb internet, test shows 965mbs but youtube buffers, however when i connect the wifi it works fine on my gaming computer any help would be appreciated

[@naturallymitch]

Dude, you're a legend. The extension fix was the solution. I had VidIQ installed and once I disabled it, CZcams worked again!!

[@dsruddell]

thanks for this. i had higher quality videos lag bad! audio was fine. the thing that fixed it for me was clearing browsing data and cookies even though just getting rid of the cookies from youtube itself didnt work. THANK YOU

[@jijobuje]

If you find an extension problem, can you please share which extension?

[@Stella737E]

Yeah, a video that actually fixed my problem. THANKS!

[@queensdontbow]

First fix I've found that actually helped! Thank you so much!

[@swym6606]

Thank you for posting I've been without my youtube for months and this video helped me

[@barbarahamilton586]

I can't find anything relating to my problem & the instructions aren't following my ChromeOS settings. Every video, every video, not just certain ones, every video has a blank white bar going L-R across the screen about .5" above the bottom. It doesn't react to anything. It began appearing the day after my Chromebook froze while I was playing a game at 2:30 one morning. I turned it off, unplugged it & had to leave it running until it stopped. It's been running fine after rebooting except for the white blank bar across CZcams videos. I know I'm commenting on a video over a year old, but why not?

[@theKTCalamity]

i have no idea whats causing my issue then. i disabled recently updated extensions of which i only have 5, javascript was fine, hardware acceleration is off, cache cleared, ended chrome task to hard quit it and relaunch, checked updates, restarted computer, reinstalled chrome twice. still only some videos are cursed with the infinite load black screen while others play normally. the black screen videos DO play in incognito though. im right stumped.

[@DB2hull]

Thank you, hardware acceleration is the one that did the trick I hope, I've spent a week trying to get the right settings sorted on pc!

[@VijayKumar-mx4fx]

Disabling the extensions worked for me. Thank you!

[@1LoveAwakening]

Hardware acceleration off did the trick for us. Thanks, TechJunkie!

[@jonotek]

And I can't watch the video.... in chrome XD

[@dreamskincare]

Thank you! That worked and fixed my videos not playing issue!

[@saramahran515]

It fixed my problem, videos worked after disabiling hardware acceleration. Thank you so much❤️

[@therealchickendude]

I literally clicked this and it started working instantly thanks bro

[@swissalps3]

I fixed my problem by turning off "Use hardware acceleration when available". Thank you so much.

[@victoriabutterfly6521]

Thank you so much
My own shorts didn't want to play for me properly & the "Use hardware acceleration when available" was in the end what resolved it
I really appreciate your help with this 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@mistermodd]

You saved my wife’s stream today bro THANKYOU!!! Clearing the cache and cookies from the past 24hrs did it!!!! THANKYOU!!:)

[@kannachitimella3960]

This is one of the best video I have ever seen
It rectified my problem
Thanks,

[@CreggLund]

I'm suddenly getting "Your browser can't play this video." whenever I try to play a movie from CZcams. Regular videos work just fine. But movies that I purchased or movies that are free no longer work. I get the above error message.
I get the same problem on Edge.

[@noonespecial-wq5bk]

I don't think it's too much to say that you saved my day, I don't know how much longer I would have struggeled with this. Apparently I was in a restricted mode. However that happened.
Thank you!!

[@corygucwa7098]

Useful video, to an extent. Tried all methods discussed to no avail, still getting the dreaded "Your browser can't play this video."

[@broads22]

Very useful video, thank you

[@Beenz75]

I tried everything you suggested but nothing worked. It's weird, only videos from my own channel do not open but every other video does. I have tried watching my own videos in Safari and works fine

[@SOPHiELAWSON]

Thank you for this video ... I reinstalled chrome but it still won't let me watch any of my personally created videos. It just spins black with a white circle. I can watch all other videos, it's just mine. I can also watch my videos in incognito mode and on all other devices and on other browsers / incognito mode, it's just Chrome on the PC. Any idea why this is happening? Very odd. I feel like I've tried everything :(

[@robtucker3712]

I am having the exact same problem. Hopefully this is on CZcams's side. If you find any fix, please do share!

[@Hitokiro]

@@robtucker3712 same problem here! started happening few days ago.

[@SOPHiELAWSON]

​ @Rob Tucker I saw on another video to do the following, and it worked -
1: Sign out of CZcams
2: Close Chrome Browser
3: Restart PC
4: Sign back into CZcams on the Chrome Browser
Should work now, hope it does :)

[@fossum2062]

@@SOPHiELAWSON Thank you Sophie!! That fixed it for me! :D

[@ArthurKDurden]

@@SOPHiELAWSON worked, many thanks. :)

[@RiverFox_YT]

sadly i did everything, including uninstalling and reinstalling chrome and didnt work, but a very easy to follow guide none the less

[@RosaliaFacts]

YES. A tutorial that actually solved my problem! Thanks!

[@suelilley7651]

Did not solve mine. Still goes round and round.

[@gabrielvrldev]

Thanks man, It was the extension i installed!

[@fuzailsheik5098]

Thank you it helped a lot 👌🏼

[@ameerahhh7441]

i still couldn’t access my youtube, i can only open it on incognito mode, deleting extensions didnt work :(

[@F4GRAPHICS]

Nope. Still won't work. I got two videos that worked just fine until today. I've done everything in this video to the dot, repeatedly, and they still won't play on yt in standard chrome. They will play in incognito, and they will play in the editing studio in yt, but not when I click the actual link. So frustrating, don't really know what else I can do... :((

[@anthonyhershko]

I did everything and it's still the same, it happens only on website that not youtube..
I'm getting blank videos but I still can hear them.. No sure how to fix it,
Everything is updated...

[@Jacky-jd9vv]

Finally....you gave me a solution ...only you..thank you🥺

[@gustavofreire939]

Disabling hardware acceleration worked for me but the search bar on youtube now is bugged. I can type, but it never tries to find it. When I press enter, or click the magnifying glass it just deletes what I wrote and nothing happens.
So my current fix its just using Opera browser

[@depechdm]

Excellent.. It turned out to be an extension. Thank you!

[@jijobuje]

what extension?

[@shreyashh2]

Thank you very much, it really helped.
