Imbedded Youtube videos

Post by Bookworm »

I have noticed, in just the last few weeks, that my computer has stopped allowing me to see imbedded Youtube videos on the forums and blogs I visit. All I see is a blank white square with a little colored square in the upper left corner. Is there some adjustment I need to make in some setting so the computer allows me to see them? They used to work just fine.

What version of what browser do you use? What version of Flash does this page say you have?

No to firefox, and I've never heard of noscript.

Sorry, but I’m taking stabs in the dark here. The videos don’t play when they are embedded in other Web pages, but what about when they are on the actual YouTube Web site? Maybe Internet Explorer is blocking third-party content from being embedded in Web pages. I don’t have access to IE at the moment, so I don’t know how you would change that behavior.

Yes, I can see videos on the youtube site, so the few I am missing imbedded in blogs and forums aren't really all that big a deal, but if I can eventually figure out if IE is blocking them, that would be great.
