Microsoft's media team has received a number of reports of a possible bug.<\/p>\n<h2>YouTube playback error<\/h2>\n<p>A number of users who have installed the AdBlock (Plus) or Adblock for Youtube extensions reported that errors occur when playing YouTube videos.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Schwarzer Bildschirm bei der YouTube-Wiedergabe\" alt=\"Schwarzer Bildschirm bei der YouTube-Wiedergabe\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/gM1X1Xo.jpg\"><br \/>Black screen during YouTube playback<\/p>\n<p>The error is that the video player displays a black screen with the message 'An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: [video_id])' when trying to play a YouTube video. Microsoft has determined that this behavior occurs on all operating systems and all Microsoft Edge channels (developer, stable).<\/p>\n<h2>A workaround is possible<\/h2>\n<p>The Microsoft team has found a simple workaround. When problems with YouTube occur and one of the two Adblock extensions is enabled, Microsoft developers recommend disabling these extensions and reloading the website. <\/p>\n<h2>Feedback welcome<\/h2>\n<p>It is currently unclear what triggers this behaviour. Microsoft is still investigating the behavior, but is asking Windows Insiders for feedback. This feedback can take the form of comments on <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/articles\/known-issue-adblock-causing-errors-on-youtube\/m-p\/1486882#M2950\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Edge developers would like to know if users see this error message but do not use the Adblock extension, or if the workaround above (disable the Adblocker and refresh the page) does not fix the error. If the scenario occurs, Microsoft will ask you to send a feedback through Microsoft Edge. To do this, press and hold the Shift+Alt+I key combination in the browser. Alternatively, you can navigate to the \"&#8230;\" menu, select Help and Feedback and then select Send Feedback. There you should include a detailed description of the problem and check the box to insert diagnostic data.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[German]Microsoft has issued a warning about the Chromium Edge browser.
