Hey everyone
I couldn't find another thread about this, so I am posting one now. I was trying to play videos on my iPad 2 on YouTube, but they won't load in desktop mode. I hate the mobile version layout, and I need desktop so I can play videos through AirPlay. When I try to play a video, it says "this video is not available for this device". Someone please help, I need it.
 
What browser are you using? Normally, when I find a video that gives that "Not available on your platform" error, I load the desktop version in Chrome and it works.

Usually when I get this error. Someone has used music in their video that was flagged.

I was using Safari. I guess I should try chrome, so thanks!
<b>Edit:</b> I just tried it on Google Chrome, and it did not work.

I saw that when it doesn't work, it's usually some advertisements.
