Safari and Chrome won’t play website videos on iPhone SE

I have an iPhone se 3rd gen. On any browers (tested on chrome and safaria) if you try to play a video on any website it doesn't work. Hitting the play button does nothing. No changes to page or errors come up. YouTube works fine. Nothing is blocked in settings that I can see. I reset network settings. VPN is off. Happens on wifi or cellular. Any help would be appreciated.
