However, you can disable it to view videos you&#8217;re more comfortable with. Restricted Mode may be turned on by a system administrator in public institutions, libraries, and universities. To remove this screen, clear your cookies and cache. Then follow these steps to remove Restricted Mode in YouTube. Once you have removed Restricted Mode, you can enjoy YouTube as much as you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_restricted_mode_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Disable restricted mode on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to disable restricted mode on YouTube? It is an excellent way to protect your children when using public computers. You can disable restricted mode by following a few simple steps. First, download the YouTube app on your device. Once installed, you need to update it to the latest version. If you still have trouble, you can contact the network administrator and ask them to turn off Restricted Mode. In the meantime, you can disable Restricted Mode manually.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a public computer, you may want to disable Restricted Mode so others can view your videos. To do this, go to your account settings on YouTube and click on the three dotted menu next to the Sign In button. Next, click on the gray toggle next to ACTIVATE RESTRICTED MODE. Once you&#8217;ve turned off restricted mode, YouTube will refresh itself. Now, you can start watching the videos you want to.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to protect your children&#8217;s privacy, you can enable Restricted Mode on YouTube. This mode allows you to prevent younger users from accessing inappropriate content. You can also disable Restricted Mode by setting the age of the content you want to watch to be 18 years of age or older. But you should also consider whether to turn off Restricted Mode on YouTube depending on the content you&#8217;re concerned about.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clear_cache_and_cookies\"><\/span>Clear cache and cookies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your network configuration, you can disable or enable restricted mode in YouTube settings. If you&#8217;re on a public computer and want to remove the restriction, you should try clearing cache and cookies. Alternatively, you can also try disabling this mode through your network administrator. In most cases, you&#8217;ll need a good reason to enable or disable restricted mode. If you&#8217;ve tried all of the above and still can&#8217;t view certain videos, you may have to disable restricted mode on your network.<\/p>\n<p>Restricted mode can prevent you from viewing content that&#8217;s sensitive or offensive. This mode has been introduced to protect children who may use public computers. While it&#8217;s possible to turn off the mode by clearing your cache and cookies, this method is not always successful. In that case, you might have to log out and sign in with a different YouTube account. Once you&#8217;ve disabled restricted mode, you can watch videos again.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have an Android device, you can still remove the restriction by clearing your cache. In Safari, open the settings panel and tap on the tab &#8220;Clear History and Website Data.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve done this, you should be prompted to confirm the deletion of the data. If you&#8217;re using a Mac, you can open the Advanced Safari panel on your computer. From here, you can choose whether to clear the cache and cookies for YouTube. If you want to preserve the cache for other sites, click the option &#8220;Clear cookies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_Restricted_Mode_on_YouTube_on_Windows_10\"><\/span>Disable Restricted Mode on YouTube on Windows 10<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use the following instructions to disable restricted mode in YouTube on Windows 10: &#8211; First, sign into your YouTube account and click the Account icon. &#8211; Click on the Restricted Mode option. &#8211; Select Yes in the UAC box. &#8211; Click File, then Export and select a location to save your Registry backup. &#8211; Navigate to Microsoft Edge, and then click on the three-dot menu and select New.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Navigate to the profile picture in the upper-right corner of your web browser. &#8211; Select Restricted Mode. &#8211; Tap the toggle option at the bottom. &#8211; Click &#8220;Enable Restricted Mode&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tap on the Profile icon. Click on the toggle icon next to Restricted Mode. This option will turn blue when you enable the feature. This way, you can safely watch videos without being restricted. You can also permanently turn off Restricted Mode. &#8211; Choose a password for the rest of your life to prevent others from viewing content that&#8217;s objectionable. &#8211; Tap the toggle to disable Restricted Mode.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tap the profile icon. If you don&#8217;t use a Windows 10 account, click &#8220;Logout&#8221; instead. Signing out will not make any difference. However, if you&#8217;ve disabled Restricted Mode, you&#8217;ll be unable to watch content in the same way as those who do. You can turn off Restricted Mode if you want to access content on YouTube. And don&#8217;t worry, disabling Restricted Mode is easy and should only take a minute.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/17GNDuWwhhw\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"300\" width=\"537\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Remove Restricted Mode in YouTube The Restricted Mode in YouTube is a screen for potentially mature content.
