Feedback - Video delay stops the rest of the Page from Loading on slow networks
Type of feedback
//dev //content
Description
- When you visit the page "https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson/inside-the-course/' there is a video but in areas with unstable network, the video container takes so long to load and in this way the rest of the page as well. The content being text should load first and be accessible as the learner waits for the video content which also in some cases doesn't load as shown in screenshots below.

This only happens on low bandwidth or poor network coverage areas. you may need to set your internet to metering to see it.

There is something interesting happening here and I don't think it is network related. I have the same issue (video is not showing) on Chrome on broadband 300MiB/s net. Firefox is displaying video normaly. The Embed block in WordPress Site Editor on Chrome is experiencing some wierd javascript issues, and I assume they are the cause of error. Maybe we should check with the Meta team if something can be done on our side.

It seems that this issue is fixed somehow. It is not reproducible from my side anymore. Can you recheck if the issue still exists on your end?
Thank you.
