An outdated YouTube app could be causing it to give errors. You should try to update the app through the iOS App Store. After that, restart the YouTube app for checking if it works. If updating YouTube doesn’t work, you can try to reinstall the app. After that, install YouTube from the respective app stores.

Method 3: Check the internet connection
YouTube could be having playback errors if you don’t have a reliable internet connection. If you are a mobile user, try turning on the Airplane mode before turning it back off. For desktop users, you should try to use Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection or even restart the router. Moreover, you can switch the Wi-Fi off and then on again or reconnect the Ethernet cable.
Method 4: Use VPN
YouTube might sometimes not work due to your user location. In such situations, you need to try using a VPN. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel from your smartphone to the YouTube server through different server locations. You’ll be able to change your smartphone’s server location and then avoid errors afterward. The method to change the location will depend on the VPN you are using.
