Interesting Introduction
Hello friends! 😎 If you have ever tried to watch a YouTube video and suddenly got the message “This video is not available for users under 18”, you will definitely understand the frustration. This happened to me too. When I wanted to watch a tutorial video about my favorite game, I saw these restrictions. After a lot of searching and trial and error, I was able to solve this problem. Now in this article I want to share with you all the ways I found to remove YouTube age restrictions.
Why does YouTube impose age restrictions?
Before we move on to the solutions, we need to understand why YouTube imposes these restrictions. These relationships are as follows:
Protecting younger users: Some content may not be suitable for people under 18.
Compliance with laws and regulations: YouTube restricts content that is sensitive, violent, or inappropriate to comply with the laws of countries and its own domestic regulations.
Targeted advertising: Ads are only shown to users 18 years old due to their specific need for a large audience and YouTube.
How to remove YouTube age restrictions?
Log in to an account with a valid age 📅
The easiest way is to log in to an account that has a user age set to over 18. If you previously entered your age under 18 when registering, this is where things get more complicated.
Edit your date of birth in your Google account
If your age is registered under 18 in your Google account, you can edit it:
Log in to your Google account.
Go to Personal Information.
Update your date of birth and set your age to over 18.
Note: This change may take up to 24 hours to take effect.
Use Incognito Mode
If you don’t want to change your account information, you can browse incognito mode. This will allow you to watch videos without logging in.
Open your browser.
Switch to Incognito Mode (or use the Ctrl+Shift+N key combination).
Log in to YouTube and watch the video you want.
Disable Restricted Mode
Disable Restricted Mode on YouTube:
Log in to YouTube and scroll to the bottom of the page.
Find the Restricted Mode option and turn it off.
Use alternative sites to watch videos
Sites allow you to watch videos without logging into YouTube. Sites like youtubensfw.com and hooktube.com offer this feature.
Note: These sites sometimes go down or are not updated, so they may not always work.
