    It's strange that you're getting Flash content.  I have to assume this has something to do with your browser and/OS combination that's unique.  That said, Flash Player works, but it sounds like YouTube's logic fails to detect it in some instances.  My guess is that since YouTube has moved away from Flash in most cases, they probably don't test it heavily.

    Your best bet is to post over in the YouTube forums.  They'll have more insight into what their service is doing.

    In general, YouTube displays content as HTML5 video, not Flash Player.  In both cases, when I attempt to view videos on these pages, they're consistently presented as HTML5 content.

    Here's my generic advice for IE11:

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 and Edge introduce a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
