I’m experiencing an issue while watching videos on YouTube. The video timer progresses normally, and sometimes audio plays, but the actual video content remains frozen and doesn’t move. The visuals stay stuck on one frame even though the time is counting up. I’ve tried restarting the app and my device, switching browsers, and adjusting the video quality, but the problem still occurs. My internet connection is stable

Could you please help me figure out what’s causing this or suggest any other troubleshooting steps?

Thank uu sm, Alex
