When I open a video to watch, the little circular loading graphic spins for about 2 seconds and then vanishes, leaving a black screen. I've sat here for about 10 minutes waiting to see if any others would load; however, all attempts were unsuccessful

If that doesn't work here are few things to try:
- Using Incognito mode
- Using a different browser
- Using a different PC
Most likely it's an extension that is causing a conflict. Trying the above steps can help narrow down what the issue is.
If you still need help you can email help@teamtreehouse.com

Courses Plus Student 12,453 PointsIf it's any consolation, I've just tried in Firefox 20.0.1 on Windows 7 Pro and it played fine.
As James Barnett suggested, it could be something other than the video/website; something local to your machine.
