Instagram Videos Don't Play Since Installing Bitdefender. Any Advice?

mikeg2k · November 2022

On Windows 10, once I installed Bit Defender it seems that Instagram no longer works properly.

Videos in feeds don't play. You see the Play button over the thumbnail, but it no longer interacts.

I believe this has something to do with how Protection is blocking the referencing to the video.

The videos show up as a black screen.

Has anyone else had this issue? How did you remedy it?

Hello.

I believe the issue has something to do with the Bitdefender Anti-Tracker extension.

Thank you so much, this was exactly the problem. Instagram works perfectly in Chrome again.

Protection - Malware/ Firmware/etc.
