      Tried re-installing, resetting settings, and a miriad of other internet options.

          Same Problem.
          some tech specs of the browser,
          Version - Developer version - 96.0.4691.0
          Default Theme - Dark
          Default search engine - duckduckgo
          in Settings - Block all adverts and trackers
          till yesterday all youtube videos were running properly, but now the video refuses to come, though preview can be seen.
          and even after many time granting the permission to sync, it still keep giving the notice.
          Tired and exasperated, feel like shifting to chrome in incognito mode, can this be resolved soon.

            @grpemls Your problem is more related to Youtube than Opera.
            Youtube does not display if cookies are disabled. This is true for any browser.
            You should allow trackers.

              Setting this in Opera Settings resolved the problem for me.
