Not sure if this would apply to you but it worked for me.
Maybe you could piece the puzzle together with the info.

Found a fix for pi4 youtube videos not working.
https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/play-netflix-raspberry-pi not sure if this has been posted or not but here is the fix for youtube html5 error.
www.linux.org
Do you get any error messages? What's exactly the problem? Is playback slow? Do videos play at all? How much RAM? What's the GPU and CPU make and model? Which distro? Falkon hasn't been updated like for almost 3 years, last version was released in 2019, and it's still considered "beta", just saying. https://www.falkon.org/ IMHO, software like web browsers need to be up-to-date, I tried it a while ago, and I liked it too, but the fact that it doesn't get updated put me off.

In Firefox and Brave settings I had to enable Widevine and DRM in order for some videos and movies to play.
Some claim that Widevine and DRM have security vulnerabilities however what doesn't have security threats and vulnerabilities nowadays.

snice the last post i switching to opera but still gettng some problems. I have the youtube video working now . but now videoes like webcam videos dont not play i tkeep on loading .i rocking intel pentium gold and 16gb of ram
What distro are you running?
What version of whatever browser?
Post any error message you get when you try to play a video.
Use a browser that is updated, like Chromium, Brave, or Firefox.
If you can post inxi out put using inxi -Ffxxxz
or neofetch output.
The more information you post the easier it is for others to help you.
Just saying it doesn't work really doesn't help anyone.

i runing the latest ubuntu , their no error on the opera but it keep on loading on live streams and plays well on facebook and youtube. as for fire fox on some vides it does not play some youtube vides
Could it be that some codec is missing? In FF's URL bar type about : plugins(without spaces, I used because otherwise you'll see this
instead, like this aboutlugins lol), hit enter and check whether openh264 video codec is present.EDIT: Taking a closer look to your screenshot, I can see the FF about window, however, the browser behind it is Opera, and the video is running in Opera too. So, which one are you having problems with?
EDIT2: Nevermind, I just noticed they're tiled side by side.
EDIT3: Try launching each browser at a time from terminal
Code:
opera-stable
Code:
firefox
