Youtube not working on chrome

[Khi0nE]

So, recently youtube stopped working on google chrome. I'm able to access the website and everything is normal but when i click on a video it buffers forever and is unable to play. I have tried watching on Internet explorer and a different device and it works properly. Just the google chrome on this particular computer is unable to play videos on youtube.
Edit: I have tried going on incognito and signing out of my google account and that doesn't work. I'm on the latest version of chrome and have tried the fixes suggested here: https/support.google.com/chrome/answer/6138475?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

I would try Resetting Chrome and see if it helps: https/support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214?hl=en

Same happened to me! The problem seemed to be with the Adblock Plus extension in Chrome.
For me the solution was to update the "Adblock Warning Removal List" in the options section on the extension.

Hope this works for you as well!

or just use Ublock Origin since it doesn't let as many advertisers through as Adblock Plus does these days. Doesn't let advertisers pay to bypass system.

My solution was to disable/remove the Chrome extension called--- "Disable Youtube™ HTML5 Player"

I had the same problem, but I seem to have fixed it, as I found that if I unplugged my sound card (external Sound Blaster Pro X-Fi) and re-connected it, it worked again for a while. So, I tried installing the drivers from the Sound Blaster website instead of Windows 10's own drivers, and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Disabling the extension "SmartVideo For YouTube" solved my problem.

I think disabling different extensions is the way to go for many of us.
