When I try to watch some of these videos they dont work.
I get a small triangle like a play button but then it has a line through it like a no smoking sign.
What am I doing or not doing to stop it from working.

What application do you use to watch them? Is this one of those videos that does not work for you?
Try downloading the video, saving it, and then watch it. As some work and others don't, maybe the viewer you are using does not have a codec that was used to create the video. A codec is a small piece of software that encodes the video content, and your viewer must have the same codec to decode it. As an example, many videos are encoded in H264 format, but a newer version, H265 is becoming more common. If your software does not have the H265 codec, such a video will not play.
But rather than continue in the Jokes section, if that does not help to resolve it, I suggest raising it in Techie's Corner.

If you do manage to see it you'll be sorry mate. Leave this one alone.
