I’ve been getting a black video but the ads audio still plays

Something weird is happening, not sure if related

I can't play certain youtube videos on Microsoft Edge; to confirm, I used inprivate mode with NO extensions enabled (not even adblock of any kind)...the webpage loads, I can hear the audio but the accompanying video does not show.

It's only certain videos and shorts, I can can click ten random videos and 8 will play normally, but two will have audio but no video.

(This is only on Edge; haven't seen this on chrome or firefox yet)

Not sure if they are testing something related to breaking adblock or something else, but something fishy is going on.
