    I keep getting error messages telling me the "Content owner has not made this available on Mobile" us there a work around for this.

    On my previous device s3 before I switched I could watch any video. Did blackberry limit the amount of data that can be streamed?

    I think it's a user imposed restriction, as in whoever uploaded doesn't want it on mobile. I've ran into a couple of music videos that do it.

    Ya, that's the "beauty" of Youtube, and it's not a BlackBerry issue either.

    One way you might be able to get around it, is turn on desktop mode on the browser and then load up youtube and the video, it may work that way.

    That's because the owner of the video made it so you can't watch it on mobile devices. Since not as many ads are shown on mobile lower the chance of you clicking on an add.

    Enable desktop mode on Z10 works fine... You will need to remove the m from the URL so it goes straight to you tube main and not mobile...

    Even easier... go to the menu on the YouTube page and select "Desktop," it reloads to the desktop version of the page, which I viewed fine without changing my browser settings, Here are screen shots of the link you posted:

    I have the same "problem" on my Asus Transformer Tablet (TF700) that runs the newest version of Android. Desktop mode solves this on that device, too.

    It's just a YouTube thing.

    I have downloaded lots of videos on YouTube. There is a setting that you have to click on that says make the video available for mobile devices. If you don't click that it will not work on a mobile device. even on an iPad!! Not a BB issue.

    Also, videos with paid advertisements (like vevo and other official music videos etc) will only play using Adobe flash

    This just means the uploaded on the video has not enabled people to watch non their mobile devices.

    While this is a great feature to be able to do, I've tried to switch to desktop mode to see if a YouTube vid would work. Also it didn't help.

    Go to your browser settings and turn off desktop mode:
