Say what, now? This is the message I get on the Washington Post site when I try to view a video of a recipe preparation, and the video will not play unless the action is performed. I know how to do that when on YouTube or when watching a streaming video from Netflix or Amazon or others, but there is no apparent way to do this from this website. Also, the screen on which the message appears is already at full screen size (other than the top/bottom banner bars). Any suggestions?

Is it the sesame salmon kabobs? I was able to recreate your issue by zooming my view to 150%. You might want to try reducing your browser view percentage to see if that will allow you to view.

If anyone wants to test, the format is probably similar to this [link](https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/food/amp-stories/salmon-kebabs/?hpid=hp_hp-visual-stories-desktop_no-name%3Ahomepage%2Fstory).

Yes, that’s the one. I’ll give it a try, thanks.
