Hello, I have a strange problem—I can't watch my own YouTube videos, but I can watch others. This only occurs when I sign into my main YouTube account if I use another account or completely log out. I'm using Edge, but after installing Google Chrome, the issue persists even on a new browser I just installed for testing. I've sent a message to YouTube's help forums, but after checking the replies, I don't think they'll provide any assistance. Thank you.

Can family and friends see your YouTube videos? Are there others like you who are facing the same issue? It’s likely YouTube has detected multiple views from your account or others, possibly due to artificial increases in view numbers. You may need to contact YouTube directly for clarification.

In the meantime, here’s a brief note:

Not an official YouTube link. But I discovered other sources with similar details.

Thanks for the response, I actually rely on YouTube to save clips for me. This keeps my videos with single-digit views, which isn’t the same as artificially boosting them. I also tried using the YouTube app on my mobile, and it worked perfectly. Another observation is that when I go to edit a video, the preview still displays correctly, which seems unusual.

I just got a tweet from YouTube with the same update. They mentioned they're already examining the problem where partners can't watch their own videos and will forward your report to the team. Thanks for your patience.
