    Hello everyone,

    I hope this is the correct sub forum to post my question.
    I tried to use Unity Learn, but Iam not able to view any video because of the following error:

    "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

    I already tried different browsers and reinstalling flash, but nothing helps.

    Example picture :

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    For me it seems too be related to windows 10 somehow because it works on the machine where I am running windows 7

    Yep. Stop using Unity Learn :)
    There is plenty more useful resources online.

    Well I know I have been using Unity for a couple of years now. But I just got a premium membership to Unity Learn in a bundle and now I want to milk it for what it's worth :D

    So after way too long I now realized that it was my antivirus program that was causing this problem. I had tried to disable it, but it still didn't work, so at first I didn't think that it was the cause. But closing the program fully and not just disabling the security made the videos work, so maybe you have the same problem.

    Doesn't work for me.
    I have no adblock or anything. No antivirus (which shouldn't be mandatory to disable anyways) active. Still no video loads.

    That worked for me (I'm using Kaspersky as antivirus). Note that simply disabling the antivirus won't work, it has to be closed in order to reproduce the videos.

    However, I closed the antivirus just for testing this solution and provide feedback. I'm not going to close it every time I need to see a video on Unity Learn, I'll look for other resources while this issue is still on.

    Mine stopped working today, as well (I also tried many different browsers). Maybe there is a server problem at Unity?

    I have the same problem.I think it could be a problem for their servers.
    Could it have something to do with this message?

    I have the same problem on the videos in Junior Programmer pathway mission Programming Simple Functionality unit 5 and 5.1. However, other videos are okay. Is it just me? Can someone check these videos please.

    They work for me, are they still broken for you?
    The lesson 1.2 from Junior Programmer pathway I need to do to progress is still broken. Same for the lesson 1.3. The rest of unit 1 is just fine. Just my bloody luck!

    Edit. Videos from the links work for me o_Oo_O:confused:

    The response I've got from Unity Learn administrator! It helped me to fix the issue.

    "Hi! We're sorry that videos aren't loading at the moment. The team recently updated the Learn platform and an old version of your site may be cached by your browser.

    You can hold down Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Command + Shift + Delete on Mac) To access your browser’s options on clearing the cache. Then check the box to clear the cache of temporary internet images and files, and confirm. Then, re-load this page and you’ll be back on your learning journey!

    Thank you for your patience and for reaching out about this issue!"

    Same here! Yesterday I have been learning with c# survival today this problem occurred. Maybe if more people declare this problem to Unity they will do something. I personally already contacted the customer service hoping they would find a definitive solution to this issue so I can continue my learning journey.
