I cannot play my youtube videos on chrome

I cannot play my youtube videos on chrome. I just get the spinning arrow and finally


An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: cgRs8Wf6KaiIomSe)

I have tried all the usual tasks to address this such as clearing the cache, turn off hardware acceleration, Javascript is enabled. I have reinstalled chrome and the issue still remains. The same is for incognito mode.

I can play the videos I have uploaded in Safari not problem but do not wish to use that browser.

Macbook pro running monterey 12.2.1 with Chrome Version 99.0.4844.51 (Official Build) (x86_64).

Thanks for any help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


4 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then this appears to be a System Wide issue.


5 - Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.


The application is free or paid from added features. 


Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).



It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.

No change after 1-4. Also I tried a different macbook and have the same issue. Would this be something on the Chrome / Google account?
