Adobe Flash Player and YouTube Black Screen

by | Dec 17, 2012

On some computer systems, updating your Adobe Flash Player may cause YouTube videos to come up as black squares, and the control bar doesn’t work.

The fix is easy – you need to Reset your browser, whether it be Safari, Firefox, Chrome, or Internet Explorer.

Look for a command that clears your cookies, and other website data. You may choose to clear your History as well – if you choose not to, be sure to refresh any windows you were on previously, or your browser will just display the same data again.

After Resetting your browser, your YouTube videos will return!
