What are YOU listening to in 2025 ?

[MACKTEXAS]

This is what I'm getting when trying to view or listen to any youtube video posted in the forum. It just started this afternoon:

I have a gmail account. I entered my name and password then was able to view the video. But this would have to be done each and every time, making it more trouble than it's worth - and some people do not have gmail accounts, so I guess they can't view the videos at all. Is the same thing happening to you?

The band sounds really good on this.

I can't see an image.

So what you're saying is that you have to be signed into your YouTube account in order to view Youtube videos here in the forum.

I had that problem for awhile but once I realized I needed to be signed in, I made sure I was signed into Youtube both on my phone and my Laptop PC.

Thanks for answering. I'm always signed in on my phone since I never sign out. I don't have a youtube account, I just have a gmail account. In the forum, I've always just clicked the start button on the video and it started playing.

But starting today, it will not. Instead I get the pop up telling me I have to sign in, then I can view it. I signed in to view it, then after I'm done, I get an alert on my phone informing me that someone has signed in from another location (my laptop), and to check if it was me.

No one would want to put up with all that every time they viewed a video. I was just trying to find out (without starting a new thread) if this is new policy for everyone trying to view youtube videos posted in the forum.

I have to use my gmail account to signin to YouTube when on the Youtube website.
For some reason, I was getting signed out automatically, on occasion, and would have to sign in again.
Whatever I did right awhile ago, I haven't since experienced problems viewing videos on the forum.

I thought my forum video viewing days were over, but apparently I fixed the issue.

Okay, thanks. Just now, I opened a new window and in the search bar, I typed the name of a song, chose videos, and it came up and played the song without asking me to sign in.

Just for the record, one again I've never had or applied for a "youtube account" I've always just searched for a song by name, and it played when it came up for the past 13 years. Then it would not (awhile ago). Then, I started over, typed in "Pretty Paper" + "Dolly Parton" and that song played without asking me to sign in. At that time, I was signed out of my gmail account. So something is apparently changing.
