Part 2: How to Solve YouTube Not Working
Approach 1: Check Internet Connection
Approach 2: Update Browser
Solutions: Check the browser version and update it.

Approach 3: Make Sure JavaScript is Enabled
Steps:
- Click the icon in the top-right corner of the browser and select [Settings].
- Go to [Advanced] tap and then select [Site settings] under [Privacy and security].
- Click on the [JavaScript] option and enable [Allowed(default)].
- Once you’ve done that, go back to the YouTube video you want to watch and refresh the page to see if you’ve solved the problem.

Approach 4: Clear Browser Cache
Solutions: Clear cache and cookies.
Take Google Chrome as an example:
① Click the icon at the top-right to expand the menu; select [Settings] then click [Advanced] at the bottom.


Approach 5: Update or Reinstall Adobe Flash Player
Solution: Adobe Flash Player has been pre-installed in Google Chrome. If the update notification pops up when the video is playing, update to the latest version which is smoother and more stable than the outdated one.
As for the other browser, please ensure the Flash extension has been added.

Approach 6: Modify Firewall Settings and Check Malicious Software
Solution: If you have installed a third-party firewall, try to stop it and reload the browser again. If YouTube can work again, you can uninstall that firewall or put YouTube in the trusted list.
Besides, the computer can go wrong for the incursion by malicious software, which causes YouTube video not working, too. It is suggested that you use a antivirus program to scan your computer for security.
Approach 7: Disable Unused Browser Extensions
(1) Web accelerator – Disable it or stop accelerating the target website.
(2) Adblock extension/program – As a part of the complex profit system, advertisement barrier will affect the loading in YouTube videos.
(3) Video download extension – it can affect YouTube to work or even stop to play videos though it is convenient to download videos.

Approach 8: Switch to Browser Supporting VP9 When Playing 4K Videos

2. Further Edit the YouTube Video
YouTube Content ID, including video ID and audio ID, is a system that helps you identify copyright. It can compare the uploaded audios and videos with the contents registered with Content ID and check whether they contain infringement.
If the uploaded video matches with the published content, the video will get a Content ID claim. Then, the copyright owner can choose one of the three actions to take on the material that matches theirs: track, block and monetize.
