I just subscribed (try for free). I was proposed to watch a series of introductory videos in the "Quickstart Center". All the videos are marked "This video is private". I tried to copy the URL and play them in a private browsing window, I tried to clear the cache, I tried it on Edge and on Chrome. Nothing helps.

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    The YouTube video linked in the Azure Quickstart Center is marked "Private" on YouTube or archived. Videos marked "Private" cannot be watched unless you are specifically invited by the video owner (even if you have the link). Multiple users have reported this recently on Microsoft forums and Reddit after subscribing. Ignore the broken videos and continue learning through the Azure Portal's "Learn" section. Access alternative Quickstart tutorials directly at Microsoft Learn. Use the Azure Video Series playlist here: Azure Video Library (Public)Please Upvote and accept the answer if it helps!!
