What browser are you using? What version of this browser do you use? Have you tested another browser? Do you use any addons?

Thanks!

Could you try the following:

Check if you browser is up to date (63.0.3239.132) You can find this information in Menu > Help > About Google Chrome

If you are using flash try using html5
Revert to the old YouTUbe layout (In Youtube Click on your account icon > Restore old YouTube)

Try disabling the adblock add on. Maybe there is a compatibility issue.

I don't see how this would help. Iron uses Chromium source.

I've run into this issue before with viewing videos from specific channels. Network channels like Saturday Night Live and John Oliver seem to have the most trouble. Try running in incognito and see if the problem still occurs. If the problem goes away in incognito, clear Chrome's cache and kill Chrome's process in Task Manager.

Iron is a changed chrome source... it doesn't phone home as much as chrome, and some other parts got tweaked as well.

 

I'm using Iron for many years now, mostly always up to date, with flash up to date, and I have never experienced such things...

 

where as many chrome users seem to suffer from it in regard of the threads here in the few last weeks.

If you tried all of my previous suggestions here are a few more:

Clear cache (Chrome menue > More tools > Clear Browsing data | then select cache) 

Try Edge, IE and Firefox
Update graphics driver and reboot
