That&#8217;s what this guide is about.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, let&rsquo;s begin.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tipsbox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"tipsbox__heading\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tipsbox__arrow-right\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tipsbox__shield\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tipsbox__arrow-left\"><\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"tipsbox__text\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Watch this short video for a quick fix.

Let&rsquo;s go through some of the top reasons:&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h3>1. No or Bad Internet Connection<\/h3>\n<p>\nIf you don&#8217;t have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/quick-fix-why-does-my-internet-keep-going-in-and-out\/\">a stable internet<\/a>, YouTube videos might not load and play. The Internet connection icons with an up-and-down-pointing arrow are hidden in this situation.\n<\/p>\n<h3>2. Problems With the Mobile Browser<\/h3>\n<p>\nYou may not think much of the YouTube videos not playing on the app&rsquo;s version. However, the alternative platform may still give you trouble. For example, mobile browsers may have bugs because they are:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>also available as applications,<\/li>\n<li>slow to load on poor connections, and<\/li>\n<li>they come with incorrect plugins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. The Date and Time Are Out of Sync<\/h3>\n<p>\nGoogle, the company that operates YouTube, ensures that its mobile apps are always in sync with the time and date on your device. If YouTube doesn&#8217;t collect the required data, it may have trouble loading and playing videos.\n<\/p>\n<h3>4. Issues with Video Resolution<\/h3>\n<p>\nAnother reason for YouTube not loading videos is that the platform can no longer stream high-definition videos. In other words, you need a fast Internet connection if you want high-quality video. On the other hand, the video might freeze or take forever to load if you have a slow internet connection.\n<\/p>\n<h3>5. Phone Freezes Up<\/h3>\n<p>\nIf you don&#8217;t know why YouTube not loading videos, it could be that the iPhone or Android phone is frozen. The operating system of an iPhone or Android device may become unresponsive at times. If this happens, wait for a little and then restart your phone.\n<\/p>\n<h2>How to Fix YouTube Not Loading<\/h2>\n<p>\nIn this section, we&#8217;ll show you different ways to fix the problem of your YouTube videos not playing. Go through them and find the one that works.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">Before you proceed with the solutions below, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/techcult.com\/how-to-create-a-system-restore-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">creating a system restore point<\/a> if something should go wrong.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>1. Check the Network Connection<\/h3>\n<p>\nYou need a strong internet connection to play your YouTube videos. Videos won&#8217;t load no matter what you do if your local internet connection is slow or disconnected. If you&#8217;re having trouble with a high-definition or 4K video, this could be the problem.<\/p>\n<p>So you should check your internet speed to determine whether that&rsquo;s the cause for YouTube not playing video. To do that, open another browser and check how quickly other websites are by refreshing them.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/speed-up-internet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boost Internet on Your PC: Tips on How to Speed Up Your Internet Connection<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>2. Set the Correct Date and Time<\/h3>\n<p>\nMaybe the date and time were changed without your knowledge, or you recently traveled across time zones. Whatever the reason, you can quickly resolve the issue by adjusting the settings to ensure that YouTube is synced correctly and videos play without issues.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s better to use the &#8220;Automatic Date and Time&#8221; option as it provides greater accuracy than manually setting the time based on another clock. Here&rsquo;s how to set the correct date and time:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Select <em>Adjust date and time<\/em>&nbsp;by right-clicking the time and date in the taskbar.<\/li>\n<li>Next, enable the <em>Set Time Automatically.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Click <em>Update&nbsp;<\/em>and <em>OK&nbsp;<\/em>after selecting <em>time.windows.com<\/em>&nbsp;as the server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_troubleshooter\" data-cta-type=\"tsh\" data-cta-position=\"middle\" data-keyword=\"youtubevideonotplaying\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__heading_tsh\">Fix this issue quickly<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_tsh\">You can try using a safe and totally free tool developed by the Auslogics team of experts.<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__title_tsh\">A few simple steps to troubleshoot the issue:<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__list\">\r\n    \t<div class=\"cta-block__text_tsh\">Download the tiny Auslogics TroubleShooter tool.<\/div>\r\n    \t<div class=\"cta-block__text_tsh\">Run the application (no installation is needed).<\/div>\r\n    \t<div class=\"cta-block__text_tsh\">The app will check for the issue mentioned in the article.

Change the YouTube Video Quality<\/h3>\n<p>\nSetting the YouTube video quality high will result in a long loading time if the network speed is slow. Conversely, you can get the video to play by lowering the quality settings on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how to do it:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, adjust the video&#8217;s settings by clicking the gear button.<\/li>\n<li>Select&nbsp;<em>Quality<\/em>&nbsp;from the pop-out window<\/li>\n<li>Choose the lowest quality value of the options provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/youtube-videos-not-playing-1.png\" alt=\"Choose the lowest quality value of the options provided\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>The next step is to test if the video on YouTube loads properly. If this works, you can experiment with higher video quality until you find the maximum your connection can handle. There may also appear problems with video formats but fixing that is an easy task. For instance, you can use a <a href=\"https:\/\/fixthephoto.com\/best-free-wmv-to-mp4-converter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free WMV to MP4 converter<\/a> or tools that work with other video formats, and make the desired transformation.<\/p>\n<p>But if videos still don&#8217;t play, you can try the next solution.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-download-a-video-from-youtube\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Download a YouTube Video to Your PC?<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>4. Make Changes on Your Browser<\/h3>\n<p>\nYou might have left your computer idle, and the YouTube page simply went into sleep mode. If this is the case, all you have to do is refresh it. Once you do this, you can play the YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you have an outdated browser, it can prevent you from properly playing videos on YouTube. So you must keep it updated. With that said, the first thing you have to do is check the version of your browser.<\/p>\n<p>After that, go online and look for the latest version. Compare the two versions, and if you see that yours is outdated, follow the instructions for updating it. If you don&rsquo;t know how to check your browser version, follow the instructions below.\n<\/p>\n<h4><strong>For Edge and Chrome:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Click the <em>More Options<\/em>&nbsp;button on your browser.

For the past five years, I\u2019ve been creating content that\u2019s informative, helpful, and actually fixes whatever issues your Windows PC is giving you. It all began when my uncle got me my first PC. Happy as I was, this pre-owned computer was riddled with lots of issues, like constant crashes, blue screens of death, and driver problems. Plus, it was really slow. This was when my knack for research heavily kicked off. Fast-forwarding to today, I\u2019ve spent years in the SEO trenches, helping Auslogics craft content that actually solves problems Windows users face. And that includes Windows updates, product reviews, cyberattacks, improving PC performance, AI, and more. I break down complex topics into easy-to-digest articles that you can follow. When I\u2019m not researching current issues that Windows users are facing and finding ways to fix them, you\u2019ll probably find me streaming the latest games or catching up on the current happenings in the AI world.
