Youtube Black Screen Android. Select your profile picture. 6232020 When the YouTube app on your phone or tablet displays a black screen instead of playing a video or you only hear audio with no video component there may be a problem with the app.
When i try to watch a video I hear the sound but there is no video only black screen. When I press the down directional button the remote it shows the video timeline but the play button does not do anything and the bar that shows the progress of the video does not move. Just follow the steps 1.
The audio works just fine but where the video should be theres just a black screen.
I have a coolpad legacy phone and am also unable to uninstall the app as it came preinstalled on the phone. Everything works fine except when clicking on icon to take the video to full screen it shows black screen on the first second and third attempt. You can fix this type of problem by clearing the app data or cache but restarting the device sometimes works. Android youtube-api android-webview android-youtube-api android.
