Chrome doesn't play videos - you can do that

Want to watch movies in Chrome but the browser doesn't play videos? In this practical tip you will find tips and tricks on how to fix the problem.

Chrome does not play videos: perform update and test plugins

Chrome’s updates typically run automatically and update the add-ons required to play videos.

• If this did not work for you, carry out a manual update.
• You can find out whether a particular plugin is blocking playback by trying to play the video in incognito mode. If you can see the film now, deactivate the extensions one after the other to find the troublemaker.
• If that doesn't work, reset Chrome to its default settings.

Chrome doesn't play videos: More troubleshooting

If nothing has worked so far, try the following steps:

• A video may not play because JavaScript is required but not enabled.
• To use JavaScript, enter "chrome: // settings / content" in the address bar of the browser.
• In the "Content Settings" window, in the "JavaScript" area, select "Allow all sites to run JavaScript (Recommended)".
• Click "Done" to close the window and then refresh the browser window.
• Clear the cache and also clear the browser data.
