YouTube Cannot Sign In To YouTube

[MrGrackle]

Trying to download Linkin Park Not Alone (Official) music video. I followed the instructions to no avail. Actually, I don't have actual Chrome, but rather Firefox and Edge. Is there a way to create the required text file sign in that Open Video Downloader uses?


When I try to sign in to youtube because Google wants me to sign in to verify my age, I get the following error:

Couldn’t sign you in

Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can try again to sign in.

I don't have a YouTube account so I didn't need to sign in and was able to download the video.

Apparently doesn't work with Edge as the other post says it should. I had to download and install Chrome for just the sole purpose of this. It's a clever method to sync the program, but I wish it worked with Edge or other browsers.

I'm curious why you need to sign in to YouTube if it works without signing in?

Had same issue, followed instructions on screen to use chrome and all ok

the only thing that i can think of in signing in to youtube is Linkin Park Not Alone (Official) music video
is a restricted video.

If it is restricted, they don't enforce it too well since I don't have a YT account and was able to download it.

I've downloaded thousands of videos from YT and never had to sign in.

it's restricted to watch because the video has disturbing images (dead bodies)

Again, I was able to download a "restricted" video without issue, without signing in. See post #3.

I was asking the OP in post #5.

Like october262 says, cannot get past the sign in prompt to download the video. No idea how you managed to bypass the controls.
They obviously are supposed to restrict access to certain types of videos. But they never got my drivers license so for all they know I could be 12 years old.

Did you try it WITHOUT signing in? As in being logged out of YT then accessing the video?

I tried it again to se if the first time was a fluke but it downloaded. No VPN.

I didn't do anything special. Clicked on the video and let SF analyze it.

Tried everything I could before being forced to download and install Chrome.

OK. Not sure what Chrome has to do with it since I don't use it.

You can only use the auto sign in with Chrome

[MrGrackle]

Is this auto-sign-in with Chrome something they rolled out a long time ago that was supposed to be the fix-all, including sign-in issues with Peacock?
I'm not going to belly ache too much about Peacock, I use a macro key program to sign in to that, takes just a couple of keystrokes.
