New Android phone, although had the same problem with my old one….

Imbedded Youtube links in threads don’t open or play.

Is it me or the forum?

Some other guy had this on my teen DH racing thread, he just gets ‘grey’ apparently.

Works OK for me though.

Same for me, for a long time now. Both on my phone and my laptop (both chrome). The sound plays but no video

They don’t usually open for me either. It’s been like that for a long time.

Did you try tapping the play button twice? Sometimes they play first tap to me but other times it needs a second tap…

Are you logged in?

Yes, a problem for a long time. I also get the sound but a blank background when I play the video
I also sometimes see links displayed as a half-webpage and other links displayed as a blue text-only link
Two different laptops, different OS and different browsers
The STW forum is sensitive to some settings or whatever that other forums aren’t
