how to watch age restricted youtube videos

YouTube is a website designed for sharing videos. Millions of users around the world have created accounts on the site which allows them to upload videos that anyone can watch. Though you can create your free account and upload your media content, Youtube has its own terms and conditions about video content. Some videos don't violate their policies, but may not be appropriate for all audiences. In these cases, minors or logged-out users may not be able to view the content. These are Age-restricted Youtube videos. If you’re a grown person but you’re not logged into Google Account or online at YouTube.com you can see a warning in some videos.

If you still want to watch a video, but for whatever reason do not wish to sign in to Google, there are a couple of ways to easily get around this limitation.


Step  1 - Open the Youtube Age-restricted video First, open the Youtube video you wish to watch. You will see the warning sign, as you’re not logged in. 

Step 2 - First method 

 A first method is to change the URL. Usually, a URL Youtube video looks like this:

youtube.com / watch? v = 6LZM3_wp2ps 

If you remove the watch? and replace the = with a /,you'll get a link that goes directly to the video without the rest of the YouTube site, and it'll play full-width in your browser. So, for example, you would change it to this link: 

youtube.com/v/6LZM3_wp2ps 

You will get direct access to the video file without age or other parameters being checked
. 

Step 3 - Second Method Another way to do this is using third-party sites that help to circumvent any restrictions to video hosting. So, alternatively, you can add nsfw before the youtube.com portion of the link, like this: 

nsfwyoutube.com/watch?v=6LZM3_wp2ps 

NSFW means not suitable/safe for work and is a tag used in e-mail, videos,hyperlinks and on interactive discussion areas to mark material which the viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as at work.

Result: Congratulations! You’ve just learned how to Watch Age-restricted Youtube Videos without Authorization
