Part 1: What Causes a YouTube Black Screen Error?
As mentioned earlier, although there could be any reason for videos black on YouTube, some of the most common ones are listed below:
Obsolete Web Browser
Because the websites and online portals are regularly updated by the developers to keep them secure from intruders and attackers, the web browsers must also be updated accordingly to keep up the pace. If your instance of the web browser is outdated, you may experience a YouTube TV black screen.
Incompatible Browser Extensions
This mostly happens while using Google Chrome. Because Chrome Web Store is populated with a plethora of extensions, it is likely that any of those might become outdated (or get updated), thus becoming incompatible with the current version of the web browser.
Slow Internet Connection
This issue could be from your Internet Service Provider’s (ISP’s) side. At your part, the maximum you can do is, try switching to a wired network, or if you are using Wi-Fi, consider taking your PC or laptop closer to the wireless router.
Stale DNS Cache
Every time you visit a website, its DNS (Domain Name System) record is automatically stored in the DNS cache. This helps in the address resolution process (fetching the URL) the next time you open the site. If the DNS information gets stale in the DNS cache, the browser may fail to locate the website, a YouTube video in this case, and you will be displayed with the black screen.
Outdated Display Driver
As it is with Windows itself, even the graphic card driver must be updated regularly to maintain your PC’s health. If an updated version of the display driver is not installed on your Windows computer, you may experience YouTube black screen.
Part 2: How to Fix YouTube Video Black Screen [*Quick Way]
Depending on the root cause of the issue, the solutions to fix the YouTube video black screen issue may differ. Nevertheless, some of the most effective remedies are discussed below in detail:

Solution 2: Restart the Web Browser
If the video isn’t visible even after updating Google Chrome, or if you’re already using the most recent version but the issue is still there, you can close the web browser, and relaunch it to see if that helps.
Solution 3: Use a Different Browser
If Google Chrome itself is the culprit, the video should be visible on a different browser. You may consider using Mozilla Firefox or the Windows’ default app, Microsoft Edge.
Copy the URL of the faulty video from Google Chrome’s address bar, and then launch a different web browser, and paste the copied URL in the new browser’s address bar. Press Enter and see if the video plays correctly.
Solution 4: Clean the Web Browser
Sometimes even the web browser history and caches can also prevent a YouTube video from being displayed. Therefore, it would be a good idea to clear the browser data, and see if it helps. The process is given below:
After launching the web browser (Google Chrome is used here for example), go to the Customize and control Google Chrome menu, and then go to More tools, and then select Clear browsing data.
Switch between the Basic and Advanced tabs on the Clear browsing data box to choose the records that you want to delete, and then choose your preferred duration of the records from the Time range drop-down list.

Solution 6: Reinstall the Browser
If the video is visible on a different web browser, probably the default one that you are using got corrupted. A quick resolution would be to remove its instance from your PC, and install a fresh copy. To do so:

Solution 2: Update the Graphic Card Driver
Anything that you see on your computer screen is because of the graphics card. Since a driver is needed to interact with the device, an old one might prevent the videos from getting displayed. If the graphics card is the culprit, the chances are that you won’t be able to see any video at all, be it from YouTube or offline. Therefore, checking if you are using the latest version of the graphic card driver wouldn’t harm you. The process is given below:
Right-click Start and go to Device Manager from the context menu
Expand the Display adapters tree on the Device Manager snap-in, and right-click the graphics card from the list and select Update driver from the context menu.

Therefore, checking if you are using the latest version of the graphic card driver wouldn’t harm you. The process is given below:
Right-click Start and go to Device Manager from the context menu
Expand the Display adapters tree on the Device Manager snap-in, and right-click the graphics card from the list and select Update driver from the context menu.
Click Search automatically for drivers from the next screen that appears and follow the on-screen instructions from there to update the graphic card driver.
Note: If your PC has multiple graphic cards installed in it, you will have to follow this procedure for each of them individually.

What Is a DJ Template Video Download?
DJ template video downloads are basically video templates with pre-recorded clips and effect presets that sync with your music. So, regardless of what tempo, genre, or style your DJ set is, this template will sync with it perfectly and make everything look more professional, modern, funky, or whatever result you prefer.
There are three main characteristics of DJ template videos, including:
- Pre-Designed Visuals: These templates are ready-made visuals that can be used as-is or customized further. They range from abstract patterns and pulsating geometries to thematic scenes and rhythmic animations.
- Customizable Elements: You can personally customize many of these templates. This might include integrating logos and text or tweaking the color scheme to match the event’s theme.
- Format and Compatibility: They are usually available in formats compatible with common VJing and DJing software, ensuring seamless integration into the DJ’s setup.
Why Choosing the Right Template Matters?
Every DJ out there has their own unique style. This can be displayed by the music they play, the events they attend, the style of clothing they wear, and so on. Well, the same style can be represented by their videos as well.
With that said, it’s crucial that you make your video in such a way that your style is kept and immediately recognized by your fans. That can easily be achieved with a background template video for your set.
After all, your goal is to create an unforgettable experience that truly impresses everyone. You can do the same for live events as well as for your pre-recorded DJ sets.

How to Customize Templates for a Unique Experience?
The way you customize these templates is by editing them in a video editor of your choice after downloading them. However, not all templates are customizable.
In order for a template to be customizable, it has to be available in a format for tools such as Premiere Pro, Filmora, or many others. If it isn’t, then you are very limited with the editing if it’s an MP4 file, for example.
This is why using a DJ template video background on a full screen directly from a video editing tool like Filmora is the easiest solution for editing it. Any template you click from the tool will be fully editable, adjustable, and customizable.
You can control its colors, speed, animations, and so on.
Technical Considerations
Now, if you want the best possible results with your video templates, you must put technical considerations into account. It’s not the most fun process but it is crucial. Luckily, this guide will make it easier.
So, consider the following:
1. Video Resolution and Quality
Try to find high-definition or 4K templates. They will give the best visuals and be more flexible in editing or customization.
Also, choose templates that match your display setup’s aspect ratio, whether standard (16:9) or widescreen formats.
2. Format Compatibility
Common video formats like MP4, AVI, or MOV are widely supported by most DJ software and hardware. Ensure the template format is compatible with your equipment.
Additionally, think about the video codec you are using. Some codecs might not be supported by your playback system, or they might be too resource-intensive.
3. Performance and Playback
The frame rate of the video should match that of your DJ software to avoid any sync issues. Common frame rates include 30fps and 60fps.
If your set is fairly long, make sure you’ve set the video template to loop seamlessly if you don’t want to look unprofessional.
4. Audio Sync
Some templates are designed to sync with the beat of the music. Check if the template has features that allow easy synchronization with your tracks.
You might also want to consider reactive templates. These are templates that change with the music and can add an engaging dynamic element to your performance.
Legal Aspects and Copyright
This part concerns most of us when using creative elements like these. So, it’s always a good idea to read the licenses and agreements before using anything.
Here are a couple of things you should always keep in mind:
- Read the Fine Print: Always read the licensing agreement of a template before using it. This agreement specifies how you can legally use the template, including any restrictions.
- Commercial vs. Non-Commercial Use: Some templates are only licensed for non-commercial use. If you’re using it for commercial purposes, ensure the template is cleared for such use.
- Attribution Requirements: Some licenses require you to credit the creator of the template. Make sure to follow these requirements where applicable.
- Modifications and Derivative Works: Be aware of any restrictions on modifying the template or creating derivative works based on it.
Summary
Hopefully, the information in this guide will be useful when you’re looking for the perfect DJ video template download. Remember what you learned here, and make sure you use the tools we suggested to find the best templates. The rest is up to you!
