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.

@amynweb Upload them to any file or video share service and post the link here.

@leocg Any suggestions of services that are free and easy to use?

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

@amynweb It would be better if it was a service where we could see the video online buyt I guess that one will work.

Note: I've added two links to watch the videos online

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?

@leocg Thank you so much for the feedback! Apologies for the late response and re: the links! I don't see the links on my side though?

@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?

@burnout426 Yes, I think so. Convinced it's a virus at this point...
