## Videoplayback URLs that returns 403 HTTP errors
### Error explained
YouTube is forbidding you from viewing/downloading videos from their "googlevideo.com" server. Other functions such as viewing channels pages may still work.

- You are loading a video stream that is restricted to the IP address that generated that URL. For example this can happen on music videos or copyright content.
- You or someone on your network have downloaded a lot of videos. Your IP address has been blocked from YouTube servers.
### Solution(s)
First make sure that you are running the latest version of Invidious and you are using inv_sig_helper. Please see [the updated installation guide](./installation.md).
