You&#8217;re receiving an error message &#8220;Something went wrong&#8221; every time you try to play a video. Team YouTube has responded on Twitter and said they are working on a fix. You can look for error code OR_AMF_04 to check what&#8217;s causing the error and fix it. In the meantime, you can still enjoy your videos, but you&#8217;ll need to find a solution to the problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Googles_servers_might_be_having_trouble_syncing_with_your_device\"><\/span>Google&#8217;s servers might be having trouble syncing with your device<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this case, the problem is not with Google itself, but rather with your device&#8217;s internet connection. If your internet connection is slow or unreliable, your device will have a hard time syncing. To test your internet connection, open a few web pages. If you still encounter sync problems, reboot your device. If you still have issues, check whether the problem is caused by your internet connection or by your phone&#8217;s OS.<\/p>\n<p>If this doesn&#8217;t fix the issue, try disabling any recent extensions that might have caused the problem. If you installed them recently, disable them one by one. To do so, go to the settings menu on your device and tap the three-dot icon. Next, tap on Extensions. Tap on the toggles and disable any extensions. If you still have problems, check your internet connection and check the status of Google&#8217;s servers.<\/p>\n<p>Another possible fix is to update the host files on your device. To update the host files, you must have a rooted Android device. If not, you might risk bricking your device. To update these files, you can download ES File Explorer and run it on your device. If it doesn&#8217;t work, you&#8217;ll need to reinstall the app. Then, try connecting to Wi-Fi again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_internet_connection_might_be_struggling_to_connect_properly\"><\/span>Your internet connection might be struggling to connect properly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re experiencing trouble streaming video from YouTube, your internet connection might be suffering from some type of problem. The issue could be your device, internet connection, or site. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot the issue. Listed below are some of the most common ways your internet connection might be having trouble connecting to YouTube. If none of these work, try one of these alternative solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The main cause of this issue may be your router. Although your router works hard to provide the best possible internet connection, the bandwidth it can provide is limited. It may also be congested by other devices that are using the same router. As a result, your internet connection might drop during streaming videos. Most routers operate on two different frequencies and have several channels within each frequency. You can evaluate your channel usage using a third-party program, which helps identify the congested channels and bands and then change your connection to one that is less congested.<\/p>\n<p>One simple fix for the problem might be your internet connection. Make sure you&#8217;re connected to the internet, and check your status icons on your device. If you&#8217;re using an iOS device, make sure you&#8217;re connected to a Wi-Fi network. If not, you might have a problem with your router, or you might be connected to a crowded tower. If none of these solutions work, try relocating to a different location.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_autoplay_function_keeps_defaulting_back_to_on\"><\/span>YouTube autoplay function keeps defaulting back to &#8216;on&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been having trouble with YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature, there are several things you can do. It&#8217;s possible that the autoplay setting was broken in a recent browser update. To check, try downloading another browser. If your preferred browser has recently been updated, you can try downgrading to an older version. However, if you have not yet updated your browser, you can try the steps below.<\/p>\n<p>First, try turning off the YouTube autoplay feature. Many people have trouble disabling this setting. They might forget to do so each time they open a new window or tab. YouTube also remembers your setting when you close it, which means you have to manually reset it each time you open it. However, you can always turn off the autoplay setting in your browser. This will not affect the videos that are currently playing, but will prevent the autoplay option from resetting.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to restart your browser. The YouTube autoplay problem may be a temporary glitch, so try a different browser. Another option is to use the YouTube Redux extension, which allows you to hide the Autoplay option. You can download the extension on Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and MS Edge. If you haven&#8217;t yet done so, you can always install the extension and try again.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X53DYv9TNlM\" width=\"357\" height=\"199\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube Doesn&#8217;t Work on Apple TV?
