When trying to play a YouTube video, you may encounter an error that reads something like this:

An error occurred.  Please try again later.  Playback ID.

Sometimes corrupt data is what's causing this YouTube error.  To fix this, clear the cache and data of your browser. 

  • If using Chrome, click on the three vertical dots in the upper-right hand corner and select "More Tools > Clear browsing data." 
  • When selecting the time range, pick the time period when you first started noticing the problem. 
  • You'll want to make sure that all three boxes are checked. 

If you're trying to play a YouTube video created by the Phoenix College Library and you're still having issues, please contact us at library@phoenixcollege.edu.
