Youtube stopped working on Safari on BigSur beta 10. It works with chrome and firefox. The ADS load, the videos give me an error and won't load. Tried everything, cleared cache, reboot, deleted wifi plist files, nothing.
Anyone else with the same issue?

Cheers
 
Dunno if this will work but you can try deleting safari plist.

~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
 
Working for me on my MBP 2017, I've not messed with any settings. All videos play on Safari.

On safari, try going to Develop tab > Experimental features > disable VP9 decoder, and then restart Safari.

This worked for me, but was hyped for the 4K YouTube playback... so sad

edit:
I re-enabled the VP9 decoder, as well as VP9 SW decoder on battery (which wasn't active) and now everything works just fine!

Having the same issue here. I haven't tried any of the proposed solutions but glad to know I'm not alone here.
