Do you want to watch age-restricted YouTube videos? The best way to do so is to create a new 18+ Google account to use for watching these videos, but there are also some tools you can use to bypass age restrictions without an account in a pinch. This article will show you the easiest ways to watch age-restricted videos, including how to do so without verifying your age when you can't (or don't want to) sign in to YouTube.
The Best Ways to Get Around YouTube Age Restrictions
- The most reliable tool to bypass age restrictions is the Greasyfork Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass script.
- If you have an 18+ YouTube account but you're running into issues, check if restricted mode is switched on.
- If you live in the USA or use a VPN server based there, you can sign up for an 18+ account using any name or birth date you like.
