Troubleshooting Tips for getting videos to play in various browsers

Video playback relies heavily on browser cookies (small pieces of data sent from a vendor's website which are stored on a user's computer).  It is important that cookies be purged often from the browser's cache when trying to watch videos. Chrome, in particular, likes to hoard its cookies, which makes the launching of a video problematic sometimes. 

We suggest choosing a browser setting that clears cookies every time the browser is restarted. 

Seeing a "redirect" error (e.g., "xxx has been re-directed too many times; try again") means that a cookie is being persistent, which is probably preventing you from getting into the video you want to watch. 

If you close all tabs, clear the cookies, and then restart the browser, you should then be able to get into the video.

You can direct the browser to remember site-information cookies during your browsing session, but then automatically delete those cookies when you close Chrome.

  1. On your computer, open Google Chrome.

  2. At the top right, click More Moreand thenSettings.

  3. At the bottom, click Advanced.

  4. Under "Privacy and security," click Site settings and then Cookies.

  5. Turn on Keep local data only until you quit your browser.

You can try similar strategies within Firefox and Microsoft Edge too, to help with video-viewing.
