As a first step that resolves many common problems, close the YouTube app or browser window and reopen it. Next, try restarting your device.
Re-download videos on brand new devices
If you recently got a new device, you'll need to re-download any videos that you want to watch. Videos are not transferred to other devices, even if you're signed in to the same account. Video downloads are specific to each device.
Check that your membership hasn't expired
