How to Watch Age-Restricted Videos on YouTube

1. What is YouTube Restricted Mode?

This feature was introduced by YouTube in 2010 to control and limit the reach of videos containing explicit language, violence, or adult content. Most videos deemed inappropriate by the community are automatically removed, while those not suitable for certain users are labeled as restricted by YouTube's review team.

If you don't have a YouTube account, you can use the following methods to watch restricted videos on YouTube without logging in.
