I just tested YouTube, Vimeo, and PBSKids.

YouTube blocked the network request as suspicious though I was able to view the main page fine; I did not try creating a new circuit.

The Vimeo video played perfectly fine.

I kept creating new circuits until the exit node was US, and then the PBSKids video played fine.

YouTube works fine and has for years. Earlier this year Google started blocking some requests and due to the use of a redirect you often need to create a `New Identity` to get around it. It _usually_ helps if you visit the youtube.com homepage first, though.
