        Brian, not been on the site for a while. Won’t bore you with reasons. Using iPhone 12. I can’t get the first lesson – directs me to YTUBE and sign in where already signed in.

        Slightly ironically I can get the second lesson – but normally struggle to nail the first 😆

            I’m not sure what lesson or what you are having trouble with. First, what lesson is it? Does this happen only with a particular lesson, or is it all of them? I assume you are logged into the site. You should not need to sign-in to YouTube to watch any lesson as long as you are signed in.

              Hi Andy. By “first lesson” do you literally mean lesson EP001? I’m hoping you realize that there is no meaningful sequential order to the AM lessons. They are totally random, and you are not supposed to learn them in any particular order. Most members just pick out whatever lesson sounds good to them and go for it. Once you’ve learned it, pick another one. And so on, ad infinitum.

              If you are logged in to ActiveMelody, you do not need to log into Youtube regardless what kind of phone you have. You don’t even need to have a Youtube account, although I would recommend it since you can’t upload anything otherwise.

                  This sounds suspiciously like the YouTube bug/feature/inconvenience/pain in the backside that has been around for a while. Couple of years at least though it seems to be much much more infrequent these days.
                  The reason you can see the premium members video is because it’s not hosted on YouTube.
                  Unfortunately nobody quite knows what the cause is despite it being discussed quite a few times.
                  Shutting down browsers and restarting sometimes clears it. Using a browser other than safari has also been mooted as a fix.
                  I still use safari and though I get the problem infrequently it does go away again.
                  It’s only watching the embedded video that breaks. If you click the option to watch in YouTube on the video it should work though you have to suffer watching ads

                    Not if you use the Brave browser. I never get any ads using that browser. Works fantastic.
