Common causes include incorrect authentication (e.g., using an outdated or invalid login), insufficient permissions (the user doesn't have access to the video), browser issues (e.g., conflicting extensions), or temporary server issues on YouTube's side. Sometimes, a firewall or proxy server can also interfere.
