Are you using a cellphone or PC?

I don't know.... I can see them in my mobile phone, which is what I mostly use for the forum.
Maybe, I insist, there's some configuration in your browser that prevents popup windows, or some other permits closed.
Do you see yt videos inserted by others? F.i., the one I posted as example? I never insert the video window, this seems not work for me neither; I always post an http link... Others, i don't know how, insert the video here, and I see them, but on the phone they come unscaled, so I see only a corner. I usually press on the link that opens it fully in YT instead. Is this the same with you?

I wonder if it's an Apple file extension thing on your iPad?

I have posted my own videos before, and not had a problem?

The only reason I bring this up is because for the last few weeks, I've experienced issues with 2 of my PCs, and my Samsung phone. Microsoft has been "updating" software, Google has been changing things in their products (they own YT), and even Samsung updated my phone a couple days ago. I was getting pretty frustrated to put it mildly.

2 days ago I received an OS update for my phone, and now it functions perfectly again.

Can you check your iPad for the latest updates?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least that Apple products are experiencing quirks related to reasons we'll never know, that the other companies were having behind the scenes. Problems, I'm sure, that prompted them all to more or less update around the same time.

Cyber attacks are certainly more frequent than we know.

Cheers,
Fran
