Sometimes some vids dont support the screen capacity. Go click the button on the bottom right panel.

I don't know if this would have anything to do with it, but what internet browser are you using?

Also, do you have any firewalls or filters that could be preventing it from working?

I have my computer in a near firewall-lockdown state; nothing goes unless I say so.

That is why I ask if you have programs running that could prevent it. (if nothing else works, you may want to consider reseting your browser settings, this sometimes works)
