[Solved]YouTube Playing in the Background of Other Tabs

Hi there; so it worked for a little while, and then resorted back to square one by yesterday evening and this morning. Essentially, I deleted a system profile and backup profile on Opera, and restarted everything. It worked for a little while, but now the same thing is happening again.
I am going to attach two videos to show you what's happening. Maybe they might help further and narrow down possible options of what to do, because at this point in time, I'm stumped.

I'm beginning to think it might be a YouTube issue... Will send those videos, just need to figure out how to do that here quick...

Okay, looks like I maybe can't upload videos here. Let me know where I can maybe send them, so that you can take a look.

I think I may have sourced one; let me know if this one works!

The spot at the top left where you click to show the other video. Try right-clicking it instead and choosing "inspect element". That should load developer tools with the element that's embedding the video selected. If it doesn't select the right element, hit ctrl + shift + c when you're on the Elements tab in the developer tools. Then, you can move up and down the source of the page and each element should get highlighted on the actual page. This hopefully will help you locate the element in question. Then, if you do, perhaps, something about the element's attributes might reveal where it's coming from over why it's there.
As for the video that's playing in the background, it was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOcSpelCNUU in your example video. Is it always that video? Is it added to your queue or watch list for some reason?

@burnout426 Hi there, apologies for the delay in response! Tried this as well, to no avail. All suggestions seem to work for a while before it then returns.
That video is prevalent, but there are other videos that play too. It isn't on any watch queues or anything. I have noticed it happens across browsers now too, so I am beginning to think it isn't a problem isolated to Opera. I am hoping it isn't a virus, but the antivirus on the PC seems to be all in order, so I'm not sure what's up.
Is there a way to download and install an older version of Opera? Any other suggestions? Thank you for all of your help and feedback up to this point, it is much appreciated!

@amynweb Does it only happen across browsers when you're logged into you Google/Youtube?
