Unable to load videos on DU [View all]

After installing Zoom yesterday, and tweaking so it will allow activation of built-in webcam. All I get with DU videos is a black, blank screen. I do get the title, and text below, no arrow to begin play.

What do I do now? Videos play fine in YouTube, but there's no link to copy and paste from DU.

I already tried deleting cookies, logging in again. When that didn't work I rebooted, but now it's still the same.

Thanks for your help in advance.
