IOS Brave on iPhone 8. For a couple months, video’s will not play. The arrowed circle keeps spinning and video will not play. There have been a few updates on my laptop, but I don’t know if Brave on my iPhone8 updates or if there is a fix for this. Please advise. Thank you

[image] Brave1: seems to be one channel. Yeah, weird. If you don’t mind sharing the link for it, might be good to test to see if can investigate more from my end to see if it can be replicated. If so, can ping people in to try to resolve. But otherwise not sure what to say. At least glad it …
