YT videos just stop

Post by Easto »

This all started about a month ago. At first I was going to attribute it to Win 11 but it's also happening on my other devices i.e. phone, TV, Mac or PC.

I'll be watching a YT video and just out of nowhere the video will freeze. If I click on the Play button it will resume. It may still freeze like that 2 or 3 times while I'm watching it, other times it may just play all the way through without a glitch. There is nothing on the screen that would indicate it is loading/buffering or something like that. It will just stop. We are definitely not overloading our internet connection and this will happen when I'm the only one on the connection. It's weird because this problem just seemed to pop up out of nowhere. There have been no upgrades or changes to my router. It's just annoying.

My thinking is this may be connectivity related, if there are no screen "overlays" apps that may be interpreted as clicking/tapping on your screen.
