Youtube loads videos, but leaves the loading circle on the screen

When I watch videos on YouTube, occasionally the loading animation stays on the screen even though the video is playing, during this the play/pause button doesn't work until I click on the timeline. Clicking on the timeline also removes the loading animation. Is there a way to fix this or is the problem with YouTube?
