I tried a different browser, removing default and turning subtitles in the video, nothing works. Why is all this material so old? Does it not get updated after years of things changing? It's probably something wrong with my code after all this, but it would be great not to have that grey area of ambiguity all the time that i might be learning something that is obsolete now.

The only difference I experienced is that my embedded video player did not show the 'CC' button like the instructor's, though the video did play with the subtitles by default. To disable the captioning, I had to click a button that had 3 dots on it, and the option for captions was listed there.
