Safari won’t play videos

Every time I try to watch a video in safari on my iPad it just doesn't play. I can press the play button and it looks like it's loading but nothing happens. Videos in apps like YouTube and Netflix work fine its only videos I open in safari. Any help would be much appreciate. Thank you.

Reboot your iPad.


Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time (keep holding past the swipe to power off) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go. See if you can watch a video in Safari when you sign back in.
