[Solved]YouTube live streams not loading if logged in to YouTube account.

Over the last week or so, if I'm logged into my YouTube account, all of my favourite livestreams that I watch fail to load.
The player window stays black, with a 'loading' spinner spinning.

If I sign out of my YouTube account, the livestreams play. It appears to be the same with Google Chrome, however Microsoft's Edge browser plays the streams, whether I'm logged in or not...

Can any of you confirm please?.

Take that back - they now seem to work, although they still weren't last night...

@bristolian Works fine here. I’m always logged into YouTube and Google.

Sidenote: Using spacebar to scroll down YouTube pages has not been working for a long time.

I know it’s a keyboard shortcut for pause, but I’m thinking about the feed/page when no video is playing.
