Mindstamp help guide
Why am I getting a video playback error?
Diagnose source access, browser, network, embed, codec, or permission problems that can stop a Mindstamp video from playing.
Short answer
A playback error usually means the player cannot load or decode the video source in the current context. Test the published video in a signed-out browser, confirm the source is available over HTTPS, disable extensions, try another network, and collect the exact URL, browser, device, and error before contacting support.
How to do it
- Open the direct published link in a private window and note the exact error text.
- Try a current browser and another network with extensions or content blockers disabled.
- Confirm the underlying hosted or self-hosted source is still public to the intended viewer.
- For an embed, compare the direct link and inspect domain restrictions, HTTPS, iframe permissions, and parent-page policy.
- Send support the video URL, time, device, browser version, screenshot, and whether the failure is universal or viewer-specific.
Separate source errors from embed errors
If the direct link works but the embed fails, focus on the parent page, allowed domains, iframe policy, and tracking or privacy tools. If both fail, focus on the source, account, or published video.
