Hi I have problem with watching videos. It does not work, Could you check for me.

Submitted by editor_rachael on Sat, 04/11/2020 - 14:25

Hi taylanken,

 

Thanks for letting us know. I've just tested it and it's working fine for me. Are you using Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or another browser? Try using a different browser and see it that works. Can you see the other videos in the Video zone, Video UK and Film UK sections, or are they not working either?

 

Best wishes,

What´s the meaning of top sounds?
Profile picture for user JoModerator

Submitted by JoModerator on Wed, 11/14/2018 - 08:04

Hi Rachelberry,

In the video 'Top Sounds' is the name of the magazine. It's a music magazine. 

Literally 'top sounds' means something like 'great music'.

 

I hope that helps.
