There are videos that contain elements of eroticism, propaganda of cruelty, violence or other types of prohibited information in the content. And the restriction to viewing by persons under the age of 18 is quite reasonable. But, if you are no longer 18) and you have the right or desire to watch such a video, but instead you are met with a ban, of course this is annoying. I will show you some hidden opportunities hosting so you can watch videos from limited access YouTube already now.

First way

This method consists in simply downloading a closed YouTube video. You just need to insert two English "SS" in the address bar, as shown in the screenshot below:

Second way

In the address bar, you need to remove fragments, as shown in the screenshot below:

Instead of the second fragment "=" insert "/", now press the same ENTER and watch the video without any inconvenience!

Third way

Enter the copied into the address bar in a new browser window, press ENTER and, voila - watch the video for your pleasure!

That, perhaps, is all! Did you know the most simple ways watching videos with limited access YouTube - no limits!

Hello friends!

Today we will solve the issue of restricting access to videos on YouTube. Added a video, but do not want it to be available to the whole world? Do you want to know how to restrict access to Youtube videos? Then you should definitely check out this article.

Where can I change my privacy settings

Firstly, this can be done immediately when uploading a video to video hosting. By clicking on the button in the upper right - , a large download arrow will appear in front of you. Beneath it is a Public Access button, which is set by default, but you can change it to Access by Link, Restricted Access, or Scheduled.

Secondly, if you have already uploaded the video to YouTube, then you can find this function in the Creative Studio. Where exactly? Select the desired video either on the Control Panel, where you will be transferred automatically when you open the Creative Studio, or in the Video Manager. Click on the Change button and select the Information and settings item from the drop-down menu. Under the video, or rather, under the Advanced settings tab, there will be an Open access button if you did not select a different access when uploading the video.

Now let's look at all types of access in more detail.

Open - with this view, I think everything is clear. After uploading a video to Youtube, it becomes available to absolutely all users of this video hosting.

By link - such videos will not be seen on your channel or in YouTube searches, but there is a chance that the link will be distributed, which you will provide to selected people. Therefore, be careful when choosing who you grant this access to.

Limited - this means that the video will be available to you and a certain circle of people you have chosen. To add the people you want, enter their names in the drop-down line or email addresses, you can also add your own circles to Google+ (such as Friends or Family).

An interesting feature that is available to most media networks

I'm talking about the function - Block by country, that is, you can restrict access to your video based on the country in which users are located. The locked tab is located in the Video Manager, in the drop-down menu of the Edit button.

Depending on your desire or recommendations, you can choose the countries in which you want or do not want to distribute your video. Here, see whichever is more convenient for you - which of the lists of countries is smaller, choose that method. For example, if you don't want to show a video in Uruguay, it's easier to select that country and click on the Block button than to select all other countries and click on the Allow button.

The imperfection of the YouTube subscription system gives all subscribers of the channel access to hidden and private videos uploaded by the user.

To begin with, a short introduction about what types of videos can be found on YouTube.

Public- a regular video, available to everyone from the search, from subscriptions, from the channel page, from related.
Unlisted- available to everyone, but only through a direct link; excluded from the search.
Private- Only available to certain users.

Of course, videos with Unlisted and Private privacy settings are not displayed in subscriptions and on the channel of the user who uploaded them. However, YouTube's subscription notification system is not perfect and, due to it, in certain cases, subscribers of the channel get access to these videos.

Here we need to make a small digression and say that very often these two privacy options are used by popular users to upload new videos. Initially, such a video is uploaded with the Unlisted or Private flag, after which the author waits for its complete processing (by default, the video becomes available to users even before YouTube has created several quality options), perhaps adds annotations, and only after that makes it Public. The imperfection of the YouTube notification system is that it helpfully reports that the user has uploaded a new video, despite the fact that he has the Unlisted or Private flag:

It may not be clear from the screenshot, but this list shows several videos that have been uploaded for a long time (much earlier than 9 hours ago), while the upload of a new video, according to YouTube, took place 9 hours ago. The bug leading to this is as follows: no matter what privacy setting the user has chosen, his channel automatically rises in the list of all subscribers with a notification that the user has uploaded a new video. The privacy setting only affects whether this video will be shown in the companion list. In this example, 9 hours ago, the user uploaded a new Private video, and all his subscribers were immediately notified about this (although they did not get access to the video itself).

In principle, this story could have ended there, because the subscribers could not watch the private video. However, the YouTube notification system is not limited to the site - an email with the same content is received every week if desired. Opening it, we see:

Regardless of privacy settings, YouTube notified subscribers about the uploaded video, showed it in the list and helpfully provided a link to watch. If this video is Unlisted, then anyone with a direct link can watch it. In this case, this video turned out to be Private, so when viewing it, instead of a video, we get this:

In this case, the potential damage from this is small: this video is just another part of the video walkthrough of the game with comments, temporarily hidden by the author due to the fact that it is still being processed. However, in the same alert email, I also found much more personal videos, already hidden for the reason that they are not for prying eyes:

Unlike the ones mentioned above, these videos were flagged as Unlisted, not Private, and were available for viewing via a link in the email. For ethical reasons, proof-screenshots from these videos are not included here.

The notification email comes once a week (apparently on Mondays) and tells about all the uploaded videos for the past week. Including private and hidden from prying eyes videos from a honeymoon or from a wedding. Tells all subscribers.

You have the ability to manage access to all videos on your channel.

Access options

• Videos and playlists that are in the public domain, can be viewed by all YouTube users. They can also be shared without restrictions.
• Videos and playlists with limited access only you and the users you choose can watch.
• Videos and playlists with link access can only be viewed by users who know the desired URL. They can also forward it to others.

How to change video sharing settings

To control who can view the video, change your privacy settings.

Limited access

Comments are not allowed on restricted videos. This function is available only for clips with open access or with link access.

Restricted videos can be viewed by you and the users you choose.

These videos do not appear in your videos list or in search results, but they may become public if they are included in a public playlist.

Another option is to add the video to a public playlist. If you do not want other users to share your videos, it is better to restrict access.

The video is only available to selected users or those with a link. What happens if you set it to open access?

Users who have turned on notifications about your channel's news will be sent a notification, and the video will appear in their "Subscriptions" section.

When do subscribers receive notifications?
They are received by those who have turned on your channel news alerts when you:

• upload videos with open access;
• Change the privacy settings for the first time for a video that was previously not available to everyone. If you change your access settings again, subscribers will not receive a notification.
