Cannot play Udemy videos on Safari after updating Sonoma 14.1.2 version

this step didn't work for me. Everyone on google is saying use chrome, I don't want to. Safari was working just fine until the last two updates. Now it will not work.

Apple please just correct the issue OR contact UDEMY and assist them with correcting the issue since so many of your users use UDEMY.

I am not a programmer or a software engineer, but I am intelligent enough to learn code but don't want to. SO fix this. And enough with the updates. I am working on certifications, every time you do an update, I have to pause, search how to fix something newly broken, just to continue with my certs. #annoyed

What worked for me was selecting specific video quality instead of using Auto. Hopefully will work for you all because Udemy support is lost with this one, they just redirect to Chrome

I had this issue and it was actually a config problem with the browser, I had to deactivate the second option in the screenshot bellow:

The description in English should be something like this: "Turn on content blockers".

After deactivating this option every video played okay on Udemy, hope this helps!

Come on Apple, either you make Safari chromium-based or fix it. Apple users are growing fast and using Udemy in big numbers, they truly don't deserve after spending tons to buy MacBooks to find out browser's incompatibility for widely used websites. Please help... we are trying our best not to download your competitors browsers, but you don't seem to leave us any choice. Fix it.

I'm having the same issue with videos not playing correctly on Udemy when they were fine before. The solution above to remove content blockers did not help me either. Can someone from Apple at least let us know that this is being worked on? Updates lately break so many things. In addition to constant crashes in Pages and Numbers, and random email issues, now there are Safari problems. This has been going on for the last few months worth of updates. We should be able to do basic computing on devices this expensive without months of problems from poor quality control on updates.

This issue is affecting other users as well.

Worked for me after trying everything -

• Choose video quality and not auto
• Press 'Cmd' and 'R' to reload website

should fix the issue

Nothing seems to work for me. It plays 6 seconds and then stops, I'm trying to avoid installing chrome.

Just upgraded to Sonoma in the midst of doing a Udemy course. Now it doesn't work. I tried all the suggestions here and got one video to play, but then it started just stuttering between the first two frames of the next video. Firefox it is, I guess.

**FIX** KINDA Nothing seems to work for me as well. But if you open Udemy in a private window the videos play just fine. I have played around with setting for well over a hour and that's the only thing that I have found that works. Hope this helps someone.

Once I disabled the Content Blockers from safari settings for Udemy, it started working as expected.

Steps:

1. File -> Settings
2. Websites tab -> Content Blockers
3. udemy.com -> select turn off from drop down



Same problem on Safari 17.3.1 and Sonoma 14.3.1, I tried every mentioned workaround.

Still the same problems with Udemy : they try to protect contents and no longer provide basic services!

I switch to iPad in order to continue using it :

Not compatible with mac (obviously..)

Just Turn Off the Adblocker --works for me

For me what helped is enabling "Auto-Play" for Udemy in the Website tab in the settings.

I have the same problem,

I tried all the above solution

nothing work

??

now I am using google chrome

this is the only way to use Udemy website
