At this point, YouTube is the icon of the Internet. While TikTok gives the giant a run for their money, YT is still the platform of choice for many, especially when it comes to longer videos.

How to fix Error Code 4 on YouTube

It’s always irritating when we want to watch something, but the video won’t play due to an error. No matter what platform we use. This time let’s talk about YouTube, as many players recently report an error. We have an idea where it comes from.

If you experience “Error Code 4 this video is unavailable” on YouTube, it means that you may be using a browser extension which blocks ads. It is confirmed by many Reddit users. It would not be the first such case. Some time ago, we wrote about double audio in shorts. In that case, adblocker was also a culprit and turning it off was the way to fix the issue. So, the easiest way to fix this problem is the same – turn off the browser extension.

If you don’t have anything which tempers with ads, there is possibility that another extension, not connected to the ads in a straightforward way, is causing the issue. It was also confirmed by various users. So, in that case you should turn off all extensions and switch them on one by one, checking which one causes the issue. When you find the culprit, keep it inactive while visiting YouTube or wait for its update.

We all know that ads are irritating. On the other hand, for many YouTube content creators and for the company itself, it is a way to earn money. Without it and Premium membership, the service as we know it would not exist as a free platform. Let’s remember that when we launch it next time.
