I am trying to view a Youtube video that is linked to from within a forum post – but it doesn’t work?

Have you had this problem before? :
You are trying to view a Youtube video that someone has linked to inside of a forum post. But there is either no sound, no picture or both, or not even a visible link! What could be the cause of this?
The answer is simple: In most cases it is the browser you are using which is outdated!
Possible solutions:
If the problem persists, please tells us about it in this thread.
Hope that helps,
best!

You are trying to view a Youtube video that someone has linked to inside of a forum post. But there is either no sound, no picture or both, or not even a visible link! What could be the cause of this?
The answer is simple: In most cases it is the browser you are using which is outdated!
Possible solutions:
- Try to update your browser by going into the browser settings and have a look where it can be updated. With all available browsers the process of updating is straight forward and does not require you to be an IT expert.
- Or use a different browser (e.g. one user reported that changing from Firefox to Internet Explorer solved the problem for him).
- Or view the video directly in Youtube by copying the video link into a new browser window.
If the problem persists, please tells us about it in this thread.
Hope that helps,
best!
