Every since the last few betas of Big Sur, I can't play Youtube videos in Safari anymore. It always gives a playback error. They all work fine if I copy the URL and load it in Chrome.

Is this just me or anyone else?

I think I've had issues before where YouTube refused to play videos at all while I had my AdBlocker blocking the ads. Not sure whether it was intentional.

No, not just you,

I’ve had the same problem, and I have youtube premium. Though it’s not consistent, sometimes it works, which makes me think that it might be related to some choice of the content creator.

YouTube premium you say? Grab yourself a free Stadia controller: https://stadia.google.com/SdFGljSduV5z

It was fixed in the first Release Candidate. Are you running the latest version?

Ah no I didn't do last week's update yet. Haven't had a few hours to be without my computer. Thanks for the tip.
