Millions of people around the world use YouTube to watch and share videos. YouTube has the unique advantage of being so large and popular that its content is widely accessible. If you&#8217;d like to make sure that your children or family members are not exposed to material that could be considered too mature for them to view, you can enable Restricted Mode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_Restricted_Mode\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s Restricted Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In case you have trouble unlocking restricted content, you may want to know how to turn off YouTube&#8217;s restricted mode. First, you need to sign into your YouTube account. You can do this by clicking on your profile picture and scrolling down. On the next page, click on the gear icon next to the menu confirm button. Once you do this, you will see an option to turn off restricted mode. After this, you should be able to view videos again.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can visit the profile page on YouTube and click on the settings button. Here, you will find a button to disable restricted mode. To stop it, simply press the button that appears in the dialog box. However, note that this method is not account-wide, so you&#8217;ll need to do the same thing on other devices. For best results, perform this step on your device, and then go back and repeat the procedure on all your other devices.<\/p>\n<p>If you are using an iOS device, you will need to enable USB Restricted Mode in your device settings. In the Settings menu, select General and scroll down to Restricted Mode. Click the toggle next to Restricted Mode. Once you disable the setting, you should be able to watch videos again. It&#8217;s important to note that some websites may require you to log in to view their content. This way, you&#8217;ll be able to view the videos they&#8217;re promoting.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_Restricted_Mode\"><\/span>Disabling Restricted Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best way to unblock potentially sensitive videos and content on YouTube is to turn off Restricted Mode. However, some users may not be able to do so. Sometimes the settings are affected by cache buildup or an app glitch. If this happens, you can try rebooting your device or logging into your system administrator&#8217;s website to remove the restrictions. To permanently disable Restricted Mode on YouTube, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>The first step to disabling Restricted Mode on YouTube is to sign into your YouTube account. Once you have signed in, select the profile icon in the top right corner and then click Restricted Mode. If you don&#8217;t see the option on the bottom right, contact your IT administrator. You can also ask a family account manager for help. The administrator will then provide you with instructions on how to disable Restricted Mode on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve signed in to your YouTube account, go to your settings and turn off Restricted Mode. The option should be greyed out when disabled. Open your web browser to access the YouTube settings menu. You can also open the profile icon in the top-right corner of the page. Choose General from the menu. After this, tap the Restricted Mode switch on or off. Once you&#8217;ve turned off Restricted Mode, you&#8217;re free to watch videos as usual.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_Restricted_Mode_from_your_childs_account\"><\/span>Removing Restricted Mode from your child&#8217;s account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Restricted Mode is a filter that prevents inappropriate media content from being displayed in a child&#8217;s YouTube account. This filter is designed to protect children from viewing inappropriate content, but it does not work 100% of the time, so your child could view videos with mature content. If your child is experiencing trouble watching videos, you can disable the Restricted Mode by navigating to the settings section of your child&#8217;s YouTube account and turning off the ACTIVATE RESTRICTED MODE.<\/p>\n<p>Restricted Mode works on the device level, and you need to enable it for every browser (if you&#8217;re using multiple profiles). When disabled, Restricted Mode restricts content to violent, sexual, and drug content. If you don&#8217;t want your child to see something they shouldn&#8217;t watch, it&#8217;s better to enable the restriction before allowing access to the site. To enable Restricted Mode, you need to log in to your child&#8217;s account with the same Google account.<\/p>\n<p>You can also disable Restricted Mode by unchecking the box next to Restricted Mode on each device that your child uses. The Restricted Mode option on YouTube doesn&#8217;t sync between devices, so you will need to disable it on each device. If you don&#8217;t know how to remove Restricted Mode on a child&#8217;s YouTube account, you can contact their parents to turn off the setting.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"232\" width=\"416\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nj4ukJmIcRU\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn Off Restricted Mode on YouTube If you&#8217;ve asked yourself &#8220;How to turn off Restricted Mode on YouTube?&#8221; then you are not alone.
