I can't watch people's videos

Why can’t I watch the videos people upload? I can watch YouTube videos, Prime videos, and other videos on other sites. But I can’t watch the videos people upload here. I have a brand new Android phone, and a Chromebook, and COTH is the only place that doesn’t load the videos.

I hate sitting here watching the circle go round and round and reading other people’s comments while the videos will not load for me.

What app/method are you all using to post these videos that won’t load on either of my devices?

For what it’s worth, I’m on both browser (Mozilla Firefox on Windows 10) and mobile on an iPhone 13 and there are times I can’t load videos either. I even tried to swap between devices with no luck. Some videos just won’t load in a post while others do.

Me too, can’t load most of those seemingly private videos in a white and light grey background.
Have not since this new system started.

I was thinking, my laptop is getting old and won’t play some new technology?

Came here to ask the same thing - I’m on a new iPhone and I can’t get videos to play either. They load up and act like they are playing but at most I’m lucky if I get one frame jump and usually I just am stuck on the first frame of the video as it plays to the end. So frustrating.
