Can't access embedded YT videos from within forum post.

When I click on a video in a forum post this happens:

(Not sure how to embed images either 😕 - click on the links to view)

If you can't view the images, basically if I click on an embedded YT in a thread, a "sign-in to prove you're not a bot" message appears, but even though there's a clickable link to sign-in (located just beneath the 'Learn more' link), nothing happens when I click on it.

Any suggestions?

To answer my own question, it's because I was using a VPN. Once I'd disconnected, the YT links all worked properly

Which makes me wonder what the actual point of VPN is .

I can't access many sites like Netflix amazon Prime etc ,message is "We detect you are using a VPN access denied".

I am having the same problems that you are /were experiencing.

I can see embedded content when on VPN, just have to check your settings. Even without a VPN, if you have your browser set up to limit tracking or run a content blocker in the background it can prevent you from seeing embedded content.
