But luckily, there is a way around this. Use a US-VPN and you can bypass the age verification. However, if you are in the US, you may have to disable parental controls to view YouTube. This is a very frustrating problem, and we&#8217;ve come up with a few solutions to solve this problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Listen_on_repeat\"><\/span>Listen on repeat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for ways to get past YouTube&#8217;s age restriction, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. A third-party website called Listen on Repeat allows you to watch videos without signing in. The site&#8217;s design lets you watch videos that are NSFW without having to enter your name and password. This is especially useful if you want to listen to a video over again.<\/p>\n<p>Another great option to get around YouTube&#8217;s age restriction is to log in to an adult Google account. This way, you won&#8217;t have to worry about the annoying message &#8220;you must prove your age to view this video.&#8221; All you have to do is paste the video URL on these websites and follow the instructions on the screen. Once you&#8217;re done, the video will be downloaded to your computer. You can then watch it whenever you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NewPipe\"><\/span>NewPipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using an Android application called NewPipe, you can watch YouTube videos that have been restricted by the website&#8217;s age restriction policy. Unfortunately, the app is not available through Google Play, so to get it, you have to create an APK file. You can then search for the application on Google and download the apk file. Once installed, you can begin browsing YouTube and playing videos without having to worry about what the restriction says.<\/p>\n<p>You may have heard of PWN or NSFW, but these are not recommended to watch unless you have a Google account. However, there are ways to get around these age restrictions using free software, including NewPipe. This app works on desktop computers and mobile devices and is compatible with all major browsers. While many third-party YouTube clients used to work, this method is no longer reliable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VLC_Player\"><\/span>VLC Player<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to see a video you can&#8217;t view because of the age restriction, you&#8217;ll be glad to know that there&#8217;s a way to do it with VLC Player. This versatile player supports nearly all devices and can be downloaded from Android&#8217;s Google Play Store. You can also use VLC to watch age-restricted YouTube videos using your Android phone.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must be logged in to YouTube. To do this, open the YouTube app. At the top right of your screen, you should see your account picture. Tap on it to bring up the account menu. You&#8217;ll need to be at least 18 years old to view the videos. You can also change the age of your account from the settings menu. After changing the age restriction, you can watch the videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FreeTube\"><\/span>FreeTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are under 18 years old, you may wonder how to get past YouTube&#8217;s age restriction. Fortunately, there are several ways to get around the restrictions. These methods involve using specialized software or websites to download videos from YouTube. Once the videos are downloaded, the age restriction will no longer apply. Downloading YouTube videos using video downloaders such as Leawo Video Downloader and CleverGet will bypass age restrictions and allow you to enjoy the site&#8217;s content.<\/p>\n<p>First, you should log in to your YouTube account. Once you&#8217;re logged in, you&#8217;ll see your account picture in the upper right corner. Tap this to open the account menu. Select &#8216;Bypass age restriction on YouTube&#8217; and follow the on-screen instructions. This method works for almost every country. Make sure to use a VPN to avoid restrictions in other countries, too. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be able to stream videos from other countries, as well.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_date_of_birth_in_Google_account\"><\/span>Changing date of birth in Google account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing date of birth is an easy way to bypass YouTube&#8217;s age restriction. To change this setting, simply log into your Google account and click on the settings button. This will allow you to choose who can see your date of birth and other information. Once you&#8217;ve entered your date of birth, you should see a pop-up box asking if you want to change it. Click &#8220;yes&#8221; to continue.<\/p>\n<p>To get around YouTube&#8217;s age restriction, you can go into your Google account and change the date of your birth. YouTube requires that you have a credit card with a minimum age of 18 years old. To get past the age restriction, you can also use a debit card. However, you should note that most Main Street banks do not issue debit cards to those under the age of eleven.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_proxy_site\"><\/span>Using a proxy site<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to watch age-restricted YouTube videos but are blocked by your country&#8217;s censorship laws, there&#8217;s a way around this. A common solution is to use a proxy site. A proxy site works by rerouting your traffic through another server. While it&#8217;s not safe, it does bypass age restrictions on YouTube. There are a number of proxy websites available for free, and you just have to copy and paste the video URL into a new tab. Once you have done this, you&#8217;ll be able to view the clip.<\/p>\n<p>Another method for getting around YouTube age restrictions is to download the videos. A simple download tool is available to assist in this process. After downloading the video, open it in a new tab and paste the URL into it. Once you&#8217;ve done that, the video should play! This method is not completely safe. Always use it at your own risk. You should use the method only if you&#8217;re comfortable with proxies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Get Past the Age Restriction on YouTube If you live in Europe and want to access YouTube, you need to prove your age before you can view any videos.
