Here are a few easy steps to make your YouTube videos private. First, go to your YouTube account settings. In the &#8220;Shorts&#8221; section, click &#8220;Mark as not interested.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Vanced\"><\/span>YouTube Vanced<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The &#8220;Vanced&#8221; app on your Android device is a great way to watch videos on YouTube without ads. Just go to the settings page of the app and select &#8220;Shorts&#8221;. This option is below the adblocking setting. Once you&#8217;ve opted out of ads, you can enjoy your videos without them. However, you must keep in mind that this app has some limitations. Some videos may only play in 1080p resolution on mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>For the best results, you&#8217;ll need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to watch YouTube Vanced shorts. The app offers three different video quality settings. The default setting is 480p, but you&#8217;ll likely want to watch videos at a higher resolution. Whether you&#8217;re on a cellular network or connected to Wi-Fi, you can also choose to watch videos in the fastest resolution.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_Settings\"><\/span>YouTube Settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve found that the &#8220;Shorts&#8221; section of your home feed is overflowing with ads, you may be wondering how to turn off these ads and see only videos you want to watch. The easiest way to do this is by going to your YouTube settings. Tap the Advanced tab, then click on the &#8220;Premium features&#8221; section. From here, you can turn off ads, YouTube shorts, stories, and sponsored content.<\/p>\n<p>You can disable YouTube shorts using the YouTube app or the web version, but this feature is not yet available for every user. If you want to disable this feature in YouTube, you can do this by marking all Shorts clips as &#8220;Not Interested.&#8221; This will prevent the videos from showing up in your home feed for thirty days. This method works for both the YouTube app and the web version of YouTube. If you&#8217;d like to remove the ads completely, you can mark your favorite videos as &#8220;Not Interested&#8221; by clicking on the &#8220;Not Interested&#8221; button in the video section.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_off_YouTube_Shorts\"><\/span>Turning off YouTube Shorts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to turn off comments on your YouTube Shorts, you&#8217;ll need to enable the feature. YouTube Shorts come with three settings for permissions: private, public, and anonymous. By default, comments are enabled. However, if you&#8217;re under the age of 13, you can set the feature to private. If you&#8217;re a little more mature, you can choose public. You can also set your video to private, or make it unlisted.<\/p>\n<p>To disable the Shorts feature, open the YouTube app and tap on the profile symbol at the top right corner. In the settings menu, tap on the &#8220;media&#8221; section. In the &#8220;video autoplay&#8221; section, find the toggle next to the option for YouTube shorts and toggle it off. If you&#8217;re using an older version of YouTube, you can disable this feature by installing a new factory-installed version.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marking_a_YouTube_Short_as_Not_interested\"><\/span>Marking a YouTube Short as &#8220;Not interested&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can mark a YouTube short as &#8220;Not interested&#8221; by hovering over the video player and clicking the three-dot icon. A drop-down menu will appear, and you can click it to remove it from the homepage. The short will no longer be listed in your homepage, but you can undo your decision by clicking the &#8220;Undo&#8221; button. If you reload the page, you will lose the opportunity to undo your action.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube does not store this information by default, and you must explicitly mark a video as &#8220;Not interested&#8221; before it will disappear from your homepage. To do this, hover your mouse over the thumbnail of the video. Click on the &#8220;icon&#8221; that looks like three dots and select &#8220;Not interested&#8221;. The video will no longer appear on your homepage, so you can continue viewing it later. However, it&#8217;s important to note that marking a video as &#8220;Not interested&#8221; will remove it from your homepage, and you&#8217;ll lose your preference when it comes to recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Disable YouTube Shorts You may want to make YouTube shorts invisible or disabled.
