why can't i watch videos?

Why can't I watch videos from a news site on my l830? Says the video can't be viewed on this device.

Most likely it's because that video requires Flash player. Flash on mobile is pretty much dead, due to technical reasons I don't fully understand myself. You can pick it up on Android, but Adobe hasn't updated it in years.

Can I install anything to make them work?

Probably not. If it makes you feel better, apple and most android users would be having the same issue.

Yep, that does make me feel a bit better, I keep getting bagged out for having a windows phone, doesn't help when it doesn't function properly.

It functions perfectly; does what it's designed to do. The source of your video news is the culprit here, not WinP.
