@iamnotcoolhehe said in Youtube videos not working in Opera:

@retarded-geezer123 ok so i tried stuff cause i had the same problem, i disabled the add blocker, disabled vpn, added yt to allowed for java script in site settings in the privacy and security column and pretty much did everything that others have mentioned above

I did all this, disabled all extensions, cleared all browsing data, yet it continued to buffer on a black screen. Logged out of my account, started a random video and it did the same thing for about 3 minutes before the video finally started playing. Played a few more videos before logging back in, enabling extensions and it's been fine for a few days. Also worked on another laptop.
