'Press Allow to watch the video' Notification Page

Posted: March 13, 2020

'Press Allow to watch the video' notification page is a message that you are likely to encounter very often if you frequent websites associated with gambling services, adult videos, pirated software or torrents. The good news is that the 'Press Allow to watch the video' notification page is not something that can bring harm to your online privacy and security – the sole purpose of these pages is to trick you into subscribing to the push notifications of a random and shady website.

The 'Press Allow to watch the video' notification page works by displaying a message, which tells you that you are going to be able to view an entertaining video, but only if you click 'Allow' to enable playback. The catch is that the 'Allow' button is not linked to any video and, instead, it is meant to ask for your permission to provide a website with the ability to show notifications. You should always decline such offers when they come from a non-trustworthy website.

If you happen to fall for the 'Press Allow to watch the video' notification page tactic, then you will begin to see a large number of Web browser notifications that are likely to promote online schemes, dodgy products and services and other shady content. Often, users who fall for the 'Press Allow to watch the video' notification page tactic complain about seeing fake dating offers and invitations to adult dating sites.

If you see undesired notifications in your Web browser, you should open your browser's settings panel, and find a way to control which websites have permission to 'Show Notifications.'
