At this writing, Invidious and Piped don't seem affected. These are alternate front-ends which can be self-hosted or have numerous public instances.

I suspect yt-dlp and VLC will also function well.

Your best video option is a third-party media viewer, in any regard.

Invidious: <https://invidious.io/>

Piped: <https://piped.video/>

yt-dlp: <https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp> Fork of youtube-dl, command-line client which can download or stream to a local player, supports video, audio only, and many, many, many, many services / hosts other than its namesake.

VLC: <https://www.videolan.org/vlc/> Full GUI media player, includes streaming capabilities for multiple sites & services.

There are numerous other media player front-ends for Linux and other platforms such as Xine, mplayer, and more, check your OS's package archive / repos.
