This seems related to YT. Can you play that same video directly on YT?

I can play the video direcly on YT with a login account, but I’m facing the same error when trying to play the video in Incognito mode.

I’m using a VPN deployed on AWS lightsail bundled to a Pulbic IPV4 address which seems like banned by Youtube from unlogin access. Is there any way to watch youtube on Linq with a login user, or some how inject the login user cookie to the youtube iframe?

LinQ are using below no Cookie youtube linq in the Iframe, I can’t open link below in a new browser tab

but If I delete the nocookie in the URL, I can access the video correctly.

I have a work around now, by editing the src= in the HTML, is it possible to create a feature flag in the settings in order to control this?

Workaround on this issue:
use js below in the browser console:
document.querySelectorAll(‘iframe’).forEach(function(iframe) {
// Get the current src attribute
let src = iframe.getAttribute(‘src’);

// Replace "youtube-nocookie.com" with "youtube.com"
if (src && src.includes('youtube-nocookie.com')) {
    src = src.replace('youtube-nocookie.com', 'youtube.com');
    iframe.setAttribute('src', src);
}

});

I am having this issue everywhere. Not only on LingQ. Is it the VPN that causes this?

I have a suggestion to try. I had the same issue when using Language Reactor on an iPad, and discovered a fix which might work with LingQ too given that the symptoms were identical. On iOS, go to the Safari setting in Control Panel, and uncheck the Prevent Cross-Site Tracking option.

I can confirm that checking the option again reintroduces the YouTube block, and then unchecking the option fixes it.

I know many people use other platforms, but I assume there is a comparable setting under Android and Windows.

@LeifGoodwin Thanks, I’ll forward this to our team.
