Videos not working on the Unity Forums
Hello all! I have a bit of an odd problem and I want to see if anyone has the same thing or has devised a solution.
Recently, without warning, videos stopped working for me in all of the categories of the Unity Community. Now, I have read some posts and questions about the videos not appearing at all, but none of the address what seems to be my problem.
You see, the videos posted act like pictures where nothing happens when clicked or moused over. When right clicked, the option box appears on the far right top of the window, not where the mouse is pointing.
Everything else works fine for me (links, pictures, ect.) so if anyone knows anything more about this bug, I would greatly appreciate it if you shared your knowledge.
What browser are you using (No I do not have this behaviour)?
Try copying the video url and watching the video over youtube and of course try a different browser, because like Benproductions1 the videos are working fine for me in my browser.
Please provide us with what browser you are using, have you also tried clearing your cache. Check if any plugins may be conflicting with embedded videos. We are not aware of this to be a widespread problem.
I use Google Chrome. I have cleared my catch. The only plugin I have is Adblock, and it has never interfered before.
@marry_christmas I don't want to watch it on YouTube but I am being forced to, that is why I want to find a solution.
Well it's important to know whether the video will play when you watch it over youtube directly.
I agree with Aurore this seems like a problem most likely caused by an add on - try disabling it.
You can also try right clicking on the forum page just above the video and selecting "inspect". Then navigate to the iframe element and make sure it's correct:

In that case I would just reinstall the latest version of chrome.
Reinstalling a browser shouldn't take long at all and you can always export data like bookmarks before you remove it.
Also first try watching the videos on the forum before installing any new addons to chrome.
