How do I watch a YouTube video without signing in?

You don't need to sign in to watch a YouTube video. Just click the video you want to view, and unless it's been deleted or private, you should be able to watch it.

Question

What if I need to watch without anyone knowing?

Top Answerer

You can mute the video and use captions if they are provided for that specific video. You can also go to another room so it's harder for other people to hear, or wear earbuds. If you're worried that someone will find out you watched a certain video, go to your device's "history" and clear it.

Question

How do I watch videos on a 3DS? I've tried looking it up on the e-store, but it doesn't come up.

YouTube has discontinued support for the 3DS. You can try to browse to YouTube using the 3DS's web browser, but there is no guarantee that it will work.

Question

How do I watch +18 videos on YouTube without signing in?

Community Answer

You can't. Like private videos, you have to be signed into your account to watch them. To watch an age restricted video, you have to be at least 18 years old.

Question

How do I delete the video I have just watched?

Community Answer

If it's your video, you can delete it from your channel's dashboard. You cannot delete a video that you didn't upload. You can, however, report a video if it violates YouTube's community guidelines, and if it does, YouTube will delete it. If you're talking about removing a video from your watch history, you can either remove a video individually or clear all.

Question

When I click to watch the video it says "invalid address"? Why?

Community Answer

That probably means the video is either private or it was deleted. It might also be a glitch within YouTube's system.

Question

How do I access YouTube on my laptop?

Community Answer

The same way you would to a desktop computer. If you have a working Internet browser just type in "YouTube" and click to the site.
