      ''Your browser does not support streaming.'' / ''Download Google Chrome''
      This is the warning that appears when I try to open a livestream on the YouTube panel. Two other people besides me are also having the same problem, Youtube asks us to download Google Chrome, because Opera GX does not support streaming. These people and I always open livestream using Opera GX. but today it’s been impossible to do that.

      • Opera GX is updated
      • Windows 10 Pro x64

        @kammentfaint Try using an extension to change the user agent.

                @rileyplays See https://forums.opera.com/rules and https://forums.opera.com/topic/39910/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-gx

                By the way, there is a 99% chance that this is just Youtube blocking Opera.

                    @cizaenjoyit 99% of chance that thyis is not an Opera issue, so probably will just change the user agent and/or release a patch for YouTube.

                      I 100% agree with you, I just didn't put that in the original post.

                        @kammentfaint YouTube is blocking Opera. For now you can use an extension to change the user agent to Chrome's.

                          @leocg do you know any good extensions I can use for changing the user agent?

                            @musi11829 Just search user agent in the store page. Try the ones updated more recently.
                            One that can change the UA on a sites basis may be more interesting.
