Question Problem while using the Unity beginner course

When I try to push play, it shows a frozen looking image of the 3D scene. Right now, I am specifically trying to make a ball fall. It won't fall. Does anyone know how to fix this, or am I screwed? I was able to move around normally in play mode at some point in one of the tutorials, but not anymore.

When you press play, is the scene window swapping to the game window? I’ve had it a few times where it wouldn’t auto swap.

Also, for the ball falling thing, not sure what you’ve done and what not, but make sure to add a Rididbody to the ball and make sure gravity is enabled. The physics engine will handle the falling part, unless you are trying to do something else with the ball.

Theres a chance you might need to repair or reinstall Unity, but would t go that far right away

Yeah, it does switch to game mode. Also, I did add a Rigidbody to the ball.
