Youtube embed videos "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot" issue

Brave Browser Web Compatibility

**It seems like every website that’s hosting embedded youtube video’s has this problem where it want’s you to sign in (although im almost always already signed in).

Seems a way to block anyone from using ublock or brave? anyone else seeing this issue?
It only happens when Shields are up, when turned off it works fine.**

Exact URL of the website in question:

Did the issue present with default Shields settings? (yes)

Does the site function as expected when Shields are turned off? (yes)

Is there a specific Shields configuration that causes the site to break? If so, tell us that configuration. (no)

Does the site work as expected when using Chrome? (yes)

Brave version (check About Brave):
Brave is up to date

Brave 1.85.111 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chromium: 143.0.7499.40

Sometimes, I change to another of my VPN’s servers. I have become accustomed to certain VPN servers where the “Sign in to confirm . . .” message is likely to occur, and now quickly change course.

Brave Browser’s “appearance” to websites, kind of / sort of “bamboozles” some websites, and that is apparently compounded by what/where, in terms of your Wide Area Network (“WAN”) IP address, you are using to connect to the Internet.

In general, Brave Shields UP = more “bamboozle.” I only set Brave Shields DOWN, for testing. Otherwise, I make incremental changes to the Site Specific Brave Shields settings: Something like only turning OFF the Block fingerprinting switch.
