A user cannot see the upload date in Chrome, Edge and Opera
A video that, according to one participant, was streamed live on April 30, 2021 opens on YouTube and, for the user who started the thread, there is no way to tell when it was uploaded. The date does not appear below the title. Not on the full video page either. The viewer, from Spain and with the browser zoom fixed at 100%, cannot see the information.
According to their account, the problem repeats across many videos, both on mobile and on a desktop computer. Other participants, however, say they can see the date on every video, right below the title, and attribute the case to a zoom issue.
Which browsers show YouTube's upload date?
In the tests they describe, only one: TOR. Chrome does not show the date. Opera, with a European VPN, does not either. Neither does Edge. TOR does. All four with the same zoom level, 100%, on the same screen. For them, that contrast rules out the zoom explanation.
Their reasoning is that, if it were a network or country issue, the VPN would have changed something, and it did not, and if it were something about that particular video, TOR would not be showing it either.
