Why Do YouTube Videos Keep Loading

A Bad Server Condition

Since there are millions of YouTube users every day, even with the Google’s limitless funds to maintain the server, it could be so frequently overloaded that it causes constant video buffering and infinite loading. Sometimes, in the morning or in the dead of night, the server could be in the best state that offers the smoothest playback.

Solution 1: To avoid YouTube from keep loading, check whether there are too many extra open browser tabs when watching YouTube videos. Shut them down for they occupy storage and require much processing power from your PC which can cause the video buffering and endless loading.

Solution 2: Disconnecting your PC from the internet, rebooting the router and reconnecting the PC to the internet sometimes works out. For over time, the network can be clogged up and to some degree, the router also needs a rest like we human beings. To fix it, you only need to disconnect your PC from Wi-Fi or wired network, shut down your router and restart it after 30 seconds. Then it will be fine.

A Limited Bandwidth for Videos in High Quality

If the videos’ quality is way too high, especially those 720P/60FPS ones on YouTube, there will possibly be some frequent disturbing lags and buffering for your bandwidth can not catch up with the videos’ output quality. In this case, try downgrading the videos’ resolution from 720P to 480P or even lower to guarantee a smooth playback.
