YouTube is not playing in any browser on Windows 8

Asked By Gerald B Schwartz 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/06/2014

Hi everybody,

I am using windows 8 on my desktop. I am facing a strange issue with YouTube in any browser. YouTube video plays for 1 second and then throwing an error message and getting stopped. If I play any playlist it is playing just 1 second for each video. I have uninstalled Mozilla Firefox, but no use. I have also uninstalled flash, Shockwave and other unwanted software. None of these resolved my issue. Can somebody please advise me how to resolve this?

Thanks!

YouTube is not playing in any browser on Windows 8

Uninstalling was a mistake.



You must install the Adobe Flash Player plug-in for all your browsers.



Also, you will be required to install the Shockwave player.



Streaming websites like that of YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo

and other similar websites require the installation of these components

since these are software that run animation and graphic content.
