==Music video== The video was directed by [[Sophie Muller]] and it is the first of the long-time collaboration between the band and the director. Before the music starts, at the beginning of the [[music video]], there is a scene of Kanal picking a rotten orange from a tree (these scenes are usually cut out when [[VH1]] airs this video). The majority of the video for "Don't Speak" takes place on Stage 2 at Mack Sennett Studios in [[Silver Lake, Los Angeles|Silver Lake]] as the band plays. Other scenes tell the story of how the media mainly focused on Stefani while the band was always in the background.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1432748/19970117/no_doubt.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010506141209/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1432748/19970117/no_doubt.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 6, 2001 |title=It's No Doubt, Not The Gwen Stefani Experience |publisher=[[MTV News]] |date=January 17, 1997 |access-date=December 24, 2006}}</ref> The second half of the video features snippets of live footage filmed during the band's performance with [[Dog Eat Dog (band)|Dog Eat Dog]] and [[Goldfinger (band)|Goldfinger]] at the [[Roseland Ballroom]] in [[New York City]] on August 21, 1996. The video also features clips of Dumont playing together with [[Foo Fighters]] guitarist [[Pat Smear]]. The video ends with Kanal replacing the orange in the tree, which is actually footage of Kanal in reverse pulling the orange off. Tensions in the band had been running high and they reportedly were on the verge of breaking up the day before they were scheduled to film the video. They decided to go ahead and film it as a form of "therapy". The video won the award for [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Group Video|Best Group Video]] and was nominated for [[MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year|Video of the Year]] at the [[1997 MTV Video Music Awards]]. It has one billion views on [[YouTube]] as of May 2023, and 700 million of the views come from 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 alone. The video, now remastered in [[4K resolution|4K]], was uploaded on October 7, 2009. There is an alternate version of the video showing just the live performance part. Both versions of the video are included on the DVD release ''[[The Videos 1992β2003]]'' (2004).
