we are going to take a look at the most familiar youtube errors
and of course how to fix them including the most common youtube video is not available
we all know how frustrating it can be when coming across the this video is
unavailable error on youtube especially if you spend a lot of time on youtube itself
but did you know there are several easy solutions on how to resolve this
issue so make sure you watch to the end of this video so you can see which solution will work
best for you and of course make sure you subscribe to our channel and hit the bell notification icon
as well so you'll be kept up to date with all the latest helpful videos from Wondershare Repairit
but now on to our first fix on how to solve the this video is unavailable error on youtube
youtube is one of the biggest video platforms on the web and is capable of playing back videos in
4k resolution however not every video is available in 4k or full hd quality and if you have your
default settings set to full hd or even 720p then this could be the reason why you're experiencing
playback errors so in order to fix this try reducing the playback settings down to 360p or
even 240p which yes will reduce the quality of the video playback but at least it should play
without any interruptions and if you are unsure on how to do this then follow these simple steps go
to youtube.com and click the video that you want to watch now tap the settings icon in the bottom
right hand corner and select quality from the list then choose a low resolution setting and that is
how quick and easy it is so now when you try and watch the original youtube video it should play
instantly however if changing the video quality has not worked let's try restarting youtube
since youtube has millions and millions of videos available on it this of course can
lead to temporary glitches the good news however is that it's quite easy to fix these glitches
by quite simply restarting youtube to restart youtube close the youtube tab that is open and
then wait a few minutes once a few minutes have passed relaunch youtube and check if
you're able to play the original video if this unfortunately does not fix the problem go ahead
and restart the entire web browser as well this will remove all the temporary glitches
and hopefully you'll be able to play the youtube video without encountering any errors
but if this solution has not worked for you let's try removing any third-party extensions or add-ons
web browser extensions can be a great way to browse the web more efficiently however did
you know that having multiple web browser extensions installed on your web browser
is the most common reason as to why you're seeing the this video is unavailable error on youtube so
in order to fix this go through your web browser extensions and disable them one by one until the
error has been resolved once you have found and disabled the faulty web browser extension
make sure that you also delete it from your web browser as well so it will not cause any future
playback issues however if our previous solutions have still not helped you out
then the final step would be to disable hardware acceleration hardware acceleration is a feature
that some people use to render videos more quickly hardware acceleration basically boosts the overall
performance of the GPU thus allowing you to watch videos in a higher resolution
however hardware acceleration can also lead to playback errors as well so if you're experiencing
the youtube this video is unavailable error it could be the hardware acceleration feature
that is causing this problem so now let's go through the next simple steps on how to disable
this feature first open up your web browser in this example we're using google chrome
however if you use a different web browser the procedure should almost be the same
then in the top right hand corner click the three dots or menu button and then scroll down and click
settings in the settings window click advanced and then under the system tab locate the use
hardware acceleration when available option and toggle the switch to the off position
before finally restarting your web browser and then going back to youtube.com
at this point play your desired video and it should run with no problems at all
