Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.

If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..

This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don't abuse them since the number is really low.

Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.

Need to use alternatives to YouTube and move the creators to, YouTube is shitting on our face day after day, and the problem is that we can't hide ourselves to access them since they are blocking Tor and datacenters adresses... Good luck!

For sure peertube is much better than YouTube but needs the adoption of the public and creators

That check all the boxes. Hilarious, accurate and straight to the point. Thanks for sharing.
