If you are a frequent user of Google Chrome and come across the “cannot load video” error 404 not found while playing videos, you have landed on the right page. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to resolve this error without any hassle.
The first step is to open the Start menu and type “Windows Firewall.” Click on the Windows Defender firewall option that appears. Once you are in, select “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall.” Scroll down to Google Chrome and make sure that both private and public are check marked. Click on “Close” to save the changes.
If you are using other browsers like Firefox, click on the “Change Settings” button and checkmark the options in a similar manner.
Another thing you can try is to clear your browsing data and adjust your cookie settings. If you are using Google Chrome, click on the three vertical dotted icons in the top right corner of the browser and select “Settings.” Scroll down to “Advanced” and select “Clear browsing data.” Under “Privacy and security,” select “Site settings” and then click on “Cookies.” Make sure that “Block third-party cookies” option is unchecked.
If you are blocking third-party cookies, there’s a good chance that it’s creating the issue. Close out of the browser and relaunch the video application to see if the problem is resolved.
