With regard to having a difficult time transitioning into a YouTube video from DU,

a simple solution is to just copy the headline of the video that you want to view, go to You Tube and paste it into the search window.

In my case, hitting the play button on the DU site directed me to “sign in to YouTube”, which I already was, then when in Youtube, the video in question never appeared. It became too frustrating to begin a search at that point. Copy and paste works just fine and it has kept my blood pressure down. 😜

where it’s says “Watch on YouTube”. In the right hand corner. It’s a direct link. No copy and paste.
