GAG to YouTube Technical Issue?

[Zatsuma]

Is anyone else getting this error when trying to load a YouTube video that's been linked within in a reply?

For the record, it's ONLY happening when I use the GAG app on android. Everything is updated, android, the GAG app and also YouTube. The phone is a Z-fold, which I also double checked to make sure it wasn't an app size issue when the fold is unfolded. It's no biggie, just a bit annoying as Reddit had the same issue going on recently.

Yea I think it's just a gag thing, it only happens to me when I click on a link on here and it takes me to YouTube, I get this error, not all the time but a lot of the times

[Zatsuma]

Thank you Mori, glad it's just not me. And I would of mentioned your full screen name but it sounded like I had a mouthful of M&M's 😂

[MementoMori777]

Well luckily for you my username's initials are M&M 😆🤣

But don't stress it, English must not be your first language I assume 🤗

[Zatsuma]

😳 ... I walked straight into that one 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just the queens, so I guess we do sound a bit gibberish at times.

[MementoMori777]

Nah it was just as assumption, I thought you tried to pronounce it so I guessed your English wasn't perfect, either ways you have a very contagious attitude, I like it 😆💯👍

[Zatsuma]

1 more glass of wine and I probably won't be able to pronounce it 🤣. by the way, cheers for the compliment.

Classy woman, I prefer my alcohol in beers or shots but I respect the wine 🍷😌☝️

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Yes. Just click "reply", then the link will come up, click on the link (it will fail again) then click "watch on YouTube"

Pain in the ass but it works

[Zatsuma]

Thanks... You lived up to your name Wizard!

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Oh good lol

I get it too and supposedly it is a setting issue on Andriod phones.

[SnowedIn]

EVERY single time on my phone. I'm 8,000% certain it's a gag issue. Works fine on the browser version in Chrome.

[AviatorTom]

I've never gotten that error. I sometimes get an error about the video can only be played on YouTube, not in a GaG window.

Do you get this all the time? The video (s) you're trying to play may be gender or location restricted.

[exitseven]

nope, I used You Tube a few times today and it worked fine. What browser do you use? Maybe try a different one? Maybe run Windows updatsa.

[Zatsuma]

Using my z-fold and chrome

[Zatsuma]

Now be easy on me, I'm a blonde.🤣

[bowenw]

I have not encountered that issue. Could you share the link here or by DM and I can try it.

[Zatsuma]

Have you ever dated a 10 or do you consider yourself a 10? ↗
It was a video (flight of the conchords) posted within a females response. But this is just one of many that I have tried to view and got the error when pressing it.

[bowenw]

It opens for me when I'm in GAG in a browser and in my iPhone app.

[Zatsuma]

Maybe it's just the app in Android? No biggie as I can easily open it in Chrome, but that's a last resort due to the uneeded Ads taking over.

[bowenw]

Do you have the YouTube app installed on your Android phone? That could be what is missing.

[Zatsuma]

Yes sir I do version 18.27.33, and it is allowed to open supported links.

[bowenw]

Are you able to copy a link from GAG and open it in the Android YouTube app?

[Zatsuma]

No, Not directly from the GAG app but I can from the GAG web page in Chrome.

[bowenw]

On my phone I can click on the YouTube video, then click share, then copy, then paste it into the YouTube app to open it.

[Daniela1982]

Not so far.
