1. Can you be more specific about the error message?

If it's a message from YouTube's server, that's one thing. If it's a message from your browser or app, that's another. There are other possibilities, as well.

So, what does the error message look like and what does it say?

2. More details, such as the device and browser used.

.

I use Firefox with the greatest YouTube plug-in ever: Enhancer for YouTube

Never see another ad, unless you actually want to view them for specific channels.

So many features, such as speed reduction or increasing, breakout viewer windows, screen grabs, etc.

5. From YouTube's Help Screens, looks like Big Sur 10.16 is OK, it looks to be Seamonkey.

System requirements

To watch YouTube videos, make sure you have the most up-to-date browser, operating system, and a good internet connection:

Newest version of Google Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge, Safari, or Opera
Internet connection with 500+ Kbps

Movies and TV shows requirements

Some premium videos on YouTube -- like movies, TV shows, and livestreams -- require a faster connection and greater processing power for optimal streaming speeds. Here's what you'll need:

Newest version of Google Chrome, Firefox, MS Edge, or Safari
Operating system: Windows 7+, Mac OS X 10.7+, or Ubuntu 10+
Internet connection with 1+ Mbps

It can help to close other tabs, browsers, and programs while streaming your video. It may also help to hardwire your Internet connection, instead of using a wireless network connection.

The table below shows the approximate speeds recommended to play each video format.

Video Resolution
Recommended sustained speed
4K 20 Mbps
HD 1080p 5 Mbps
HD 720p 2.5 Mbps
SD 480p 1.1 Mbps
SD 360p 0.7 Mbps


Things to note:

Playback in HD is unavailable for streaming on a web browser, except for Safari for HD streaming only. You can also stream in HD using one of the supported devices listed here.
Sometimes, you can buy or rent the HD/UHD version of a video on a device or browser that doesn't support HD/UHD playback. You can still watch the title in lower quality on that device, or watch HD/UHD from a different compatible device.

Can you change your user agent, because that will likely work. You may have to pick an old browser agent.
SeaMonkey suffers the same problems even though it works identical to FireFox.

Oh, and your replies aren't going to show up, so there's no reason to wait days, they're not there.

It looks like Seamonkey has certain YouTube issues that FireFox doesn't have.

We are looking into adding support for Custom Elements and Shadow Dom in a later release. No ETA yet. This is or will also be supported in 2.57.

Google owned/based websites like youtube are likely to break because of this in the near future. There are already reports of broken functionality on youtube.
