The age restriction feature applies terms and conditions for each video to prevent harmful material from surfing around, causing confusion among older and younger viewers. If you are a parent who wants to protect your kids, read on to learn how to watch YouTube videos that are age restricted. If you are a teenager or younger, use the following tips to get access to the site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Approved_third-party_apps_circumvent_YouTubes_age_restriction_policy\"><\/span>Approved third-party apps circumvent YouTube&#8217;s age restriction policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it may be frustrating to see some videos on YouTube that are restricted for viewing by a particular age, there are simple solutions. Approved third-party apps, websites, and other methods are available to circumvent the age restrictions. These solutions help prevent your data from being stolen or exposed to unauthorized access on a public computer. While a few solutions are effective, some may not work as advertised or have been affected by recent updates from YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a parent, you may want to check out approved third-party apps. These apps let you view YouTube videos without requiring a Google account. While this process can be time-consuming and tedious, it is worth it. This method works well for both mobile and desktop platforms and will not require you to create a separate Google account. However, these methods may not be available on Android. If you do find one that works for you, make sure to check the source before downloading it.<\/p>\n<p>The age restriction on YouTube is currently enforced in most countries. For example, users living in the European Union may be required to provide additional proof of age to access the service. They may be asked to provide a credit card or a valid ID to prove their age. Approved third-party apps are a good way to circumvent YouTube&#8217;s age restriction policy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_birth_date_to_an_age_above_18\"><\/span>Change your birth date to an age above 18<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To watch YouTube videos that are age restricted, you must be at least 18 years old. Most third-party websites do not allow this content. To avoid having to sign in, you can make an appeal to the video&#8217;s maker. You can find this option in the Videos section of your account. Upon viewing an age-restricted video, a warning screen will appear. Click on this to skip the age restriction warning.<\/p>\n<p>To change your birth date to an age above 18, first open the YouTube app on your phone. In the upper-right corner of the screen, you should see a small picture of your account. Tap on this image to bring up your account menu. Now select the option &#8216;Change your birth date&#8217;. You can then enter your new birth date and watch the video. Make sure that your birth date is above 18 in order to access videos that are age restricted.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a computer and access the Internet from your smartphone, you can use specialized software or sites to bypass the YouTube age restriction. If you&#8217;re on a hard drive, you can download a browser extension called Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass. Smart TVs can also be a source of age restriction issues. Some smart TVs use a brand account as their default login option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_YouTube_using_a_VPN\"><\/span>Access YouTube using a VPN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A VPN is an excellent way to bypass restrictions on YouTube. The VPN makes your actual location undetectable, tricking YouTube into playing age-restricted videos. You can choose a server location to access only the videos you&#8217;re permitted to view, and select which country you&#8217;re in. You can also choose a server to watch videos only in the EU or the United States. With a VPN, you&#8217;ll never have to worry about being banned from watching YouTube videos again.<\/p>\n<p>A VPN is also essential if you&#8217;d like to access region-restricted content. Many content creators place restrictions on their videos based on location and country. A VPN helps you circumvent these restrictions by connecting your device to the internet through a remote server. The VPN will then appear to have a different IP address and will be seen by the website as originating from that location. Some VPNs have servers in 94 countries, which can help you watch videos that are region-restricted.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to circumvent age-restricted videos on YouTube is to change your settings in the YouTube Network Administrator. To do this, simply go to your device&#8217;s YouTube app and click on your profile icon. Then, go to General, and toggle the Restricted Mode toggle to off. You can also create a new account with a valid 18+ age. However, you will need to prove your age to view YouTube videos in Europe. To circumvent age restrictions, you can use a VPN in the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Watch YouTube Videos That Are Age Restricted YouTube&#8217;s age restriction feature is a great way to protect kids from inappropriate content.
