In fact, there are several ways to do so. First, make sure you&#8217;re logged in on your YouTube account. If you&#8217;re not signed in, click the &#8220;sign in&#8221; button in the upper-right corner of the screen. After that, click the &#8220;Profile&#8221; icon in the top-right corner of the screen. After clicking the &#8220;Profile&#8221; link, you&#8217;ll be able to see the setting options.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_restricted_mode\"><\/span>Disable restricted mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To disable the YouTube age restriction, you need to log in to your account and select the appropriate option under the profile icon. You can toggle the restricted mode off or on by clicking on the toggle icon in the top right corner of the screen. If you&#8217;re using a different browser, you can repeat this process. Disabling the age restriction will not affect other sites on the Internet, but it will prevent the videos from being viewed by underage users.<\/p>\n<p>On a desktop computer, click on your profile icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. Tap the Settings button. You&#8217;ll see a toggle icon on the top right-hand corner of your screen. Tap the toggle icon to toggle off the age restriction for that specific device. After making your selection, tap the Disable age restriction on YouTube button. The icon will turn gray, indicating that you&#8217;ve disabled the age restriction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_age_restriction\"><\/span>Turn off age restriction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can turn off age restriction on YouTube, you must first sign in to your account. If you&#8217;re using a web browser, you can sign in to your account by tapping the profile icon in the top right corner. This will bring up your account menu. From here, you can uncheck the box to remove age restriction from your video. You can also turn off age restriction on YouTube for videos that you&#8217;ve posted on third-party websites.<\/p>\n<p>On your mobile device, you can turn off YouTube&#8217;s age restriction by clicking the profile icon in the top right corner and scrolling down. Then, select Settings. From there, tap General. From there, toggle the Restricted Mode option to the &#8220;Off&#8221; position. Note that this setting applies to the current browser, so if you&#8217;re using a different browser, you must repeat this procedure. After you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be able to watch adult and mature content on your YouTube account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_age-restricted_videos\"><\/span>Watch age-restricted videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re trying to access videos on YouTube, you&#8217;ve likely run into the age restriction policy. YouTube checks your age, based on the date of your birth, to determine whether or not you can view content. If you&#8217;re over the age of 18, however, you can watch age-restricted content by logging in. Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can bypass this restriction.<\/p>\n<p>First, sign in to the YouTube app on your computer. Make sure to sign in on your age-restricted account. YouTube uses the same security policy on its mobile website, so if you&#8217;ve signed in to your account on another device, you may have to repeat the process. After signing in, locate the &#8220;profile&#8221; icon in the top right corner of your screen. Once you&#8217;ve found the profile icon, tap it and follow the steps in the next step.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_out_if_a_video_is_age-restricted\"><\/span>Find out if a video is age-restricted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do I find out if a YouTube video is age-restricted? YouTube has many rules pertaining to videos. For example, a video may not be playable on third-party websites, and it may contain explicit language, nudity, or depictions of violent activities. If you have any doubts, please contact the YouTube team. They will review the video and take appropriate action.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have found out whether a video is age-restrictes on YouTube, you can watch it offline by downloading it. Most methods require you to be connected to the Internet while watching videos, but downloading them allows you to disconnect the internet while you&#8217;re watching. This method is also the most secure option for age-restricted videos. If the video is not listed, you can always skip through the sponsored parts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_turning_off_YouTubes_age_restriction\"><\/span>Alternatives to turning off YouTube&#8217;s age restriction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As YouTube&#8217;s age restriction policy gets stricter, it&#8217;s becoming increasingly difficult to watch videos without being at least 18 years old. The best way to bypass the restriction is to download specific segments of a video and view them offline. Another option is to disable &#8220;Restricted Mode&#8221; altogether. This method does not work all the time, but can be useful in certain situations. Here are some alternatives:<\/p>\n<p>You can change the age restriction in Google&#8217;s YouTube app. The service uses your Google profile to determine what content is appropriate for your age. Changing your date of birth will change the age restriction in YouTube, so make sure you are at least 18 years old to view some videos. Make sure you click &#8220;Update&#8221; on the bottom right corner of the screen. Then, simply follow the steps above to turn off the age restriction.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"469\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tqRmlD8V5Co\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Take Age Restriction Off YouTube You may have wondered how to take age restriction off YouTube.
