I know I've complained about this before, but it persists. I'm signed in to both USMB and YouTube, but I'm not sure which one it means. Sometimes I can search on YouTube by the title and find it, but not this one. BTW, this started happening when I got the last Windows update. Thanks in advance.

Turn off your VPN. If I have my VPN on and try to watch it asks me to sign in but if it's off I can watch any youtube anyone posts. Oh, that also applies to any youtube whether on here or I just try to go to youtube directly and watch.

Yea, I don't understand why that happens, it also happens on my regular email and I will have to turn VPN off to even sign in. It does effect an online casino but I can at least get in.

Decades working in hi-tech using computers on MFG test sytems from Olden days to now PC based.
I don't know what VPN is and or where you would turn it off. Youtube always works for me on any PC with 20 other tabs open and "running"? Windows 10 for certain.

Disclaimer: never really set up a big PC shop at home. At work...the IT guys bring a PC to your desk pre-loaded and get it going.
On the MFG side they come pre-loaded just start it up. IT makes it all password protected, give access to those in need. No VPN?

/---/ I do all my crypto, banking, and stock trading on my iPhone and PC. I use a VPN to make me invisible to hackers. The subscription isn't very expensive and is worth it for the peace of mind.

VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network" and describes the opportunity to establish a protected network connection when using public networks. VPNs encrypt your internet traffic and disguise your online identity. This makes it more difficult for third parties to track your activities online and steal data. The encryption takes place in real time.

Although I'm in NY, hackers think I'm in New Jersey, California, or Texas.

If you worked decades in hi-tech computers and don't now what a VPN is then that is why you can see youtube video's without turning it off because you don't have one.

Virtual Privacy Network (VPN) masks your IP address.
