Hi, New here. When I try to play any video in any post, I can hear the audio but cannot see the visual. This only happens when I'm using my android/tablet. The playback is fine when I'm using Windows on my PC. Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear you're having problems with the visuals - are these embedded YouTube videos you're trying to view? AL

Thanks Al I don't know if they're embedded or not. It's any video I try to watch on this Forum. Something strange though - if I enlarge (maximise) the videos, they play perfectly with sound and vision! So what's all that about? . I like watching the videos minimised as it's better qualty. Thanks for your help. And thanks for the welcome.

No problem Embedded just means that the video plays (or should play) directly in the post without having to launch YouTube. One thing to possibly check is that the sound is switched on in the browser itself - in some, there's a little speaker icon in or near the web address bar. Also, what browser do you use? It could be that it just needs to be updated. Please let me know if any of that fixes the issue, if not, I'll put my thinking cap on again All the best, AL

Thanks for that Al. All the videos, as far as I am aware are embedded inasmuch as they launch when I click and never revert or open in YouTube. The sound isn't the problem Al - I can hear the music or the audio output (see my original post) but can't see any visuals. As per my original post, this only happens when I'm using my tablet/laptop so it may, as you rightly point out, have something to do with the browser on that I'll check it out. However, on other forums, any videos I open in posts play fine. It's not a big deal. I'll just maximise the videos to watch them. It's just puzzling and a little annoying. . Stay cool .

That's weird, but has to be something on your end using that laptop. Maybe there's some type of firewall put up by your security on it that won't let the video portion play?

I would have put money on that being the case but, as I've previously mentioned, the videos in other forums/discussion groups, e.g. Football Forums, Film & Movie Discussion Boards etc. all play fine on my tablet. My android tablet (Samsung Galaxy) is about 4 years old now and was using it's own built in browser so I ditched that and I'm now using the Yandex browser which is fine and I now have no problems viewing minimised YouTube videos on this fine Forum.
Thanks for your concerns anyway. Take care.
