Recently on Firefox, embedded Twitter videos have stopped playing for me. I click on the play arrow and the whole tweet disappears. I can play embedded youtube vids and can play the twitter videos on Twitter. Any ideas?
Embedded Twitter videos not playing
- Thread starter Tangled Up In Red
- Start date
Happening to me, on a Tweet I posted earlier today. From Replies, it's apparently fine for other SoSHers to play.

I've had a ton of issues with Firefox not playing any Twitter videos for quite a while
Thinking it's a cookie issue for me
Chrome seems to be my best bet

I ran in to this with Chrome recently... It just seemed tweets would not load. This was within and outside of SoSH. Came across this and it seemed to work for me:
Some members have reported that embedded tweets break the layout or are chopped so that only half tweet displays.
If you're experiencing this problem, try the procedure below.
Right click on the page with the tweet(s). Select inspect from the menu. A console will open. Reload the page with the tweet(s) leaving the console open. They should display properly now. Visit a few other threads with tweets while the console is open. They should also load properly. Close the console and it should be fixed.

I've been having trouble playing embedded Twitter videos in Chrome all over the web the past few weeks. It's become so consistent that I figured it was Twitter trying to drive people to their site, where it always works fine.
Bummer. It worked well for me on other sites - I have not needed to try it on SoSH yet though.
What worked for me in Firefox was to disable enhanced tracking protection for SoSH.
From within SoSH, click on the shield icon to the left of the url. Top option is to disable for this site. Did the trick.
Could probably be a little more surgical and leave it on, disabling only twitter in the subsections.

And now you know the cost of the convenience of seeing the embedded video without opening an incognito window for the Twitter URL.
