More or less every one of us listens to music, watches series or dramas or several other entertainment oriented videos on YouTube and we all must have stumbled upon the message where our desired video cannot be played because of one or the other reason. Some such restrictions are from the record companies on geographical and copyright grounds for some countries and sometimes videos are restricted in an entire region and could be viewed by specific countries, only.
If you happen to be in a country where you do not get access to many such videos and are much familiar with this message “The uploader has not made this video available in your country” or “Unfortunately this video is not available in your country” or “Unfortunately this video is not available in your country because it could contain music, for which we could not agree on conditions of use with {company}” or “This video contains content from {company} who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds” then the following solutions by several online research results will help you get rid of the problem of restricted and blocked videos on YouTube.
I will share several guidelines for you which I have acquired after a thorough online research and then will summarize things for your convenience.
How to watch YouTube videos blocked in your country
Option 1
The shortest and the easiest trick to view your favorite blocked video, that I have found, asks you to make a tiniest change in the URL of the blocked video and that alone can resolve your problem of limited access, no matther is on copyright grounds or on geographical / region grounds. The change that you must make for it is as under:
– In your URL of blocked video, you must see a word “watch?v=” right after www.youtube.com.
– Change that with “v/” and remove ‘watch?’ from it.
– By doing this, your video will play automatically.
It doesn’t always work so this solution itself might be somehow related to how the system works in different geographies.
Option 2
At second, I will share the guideline which is most widely used as it has an easy measure elaborated by Gen YouTube itself, so its users can enjoy their links without interruption. For this, all you have to do is to alter the original YouTube URL with the Gen YouTube URL as follows and it will open all sorts of videos: https://www.genyoutube.com/watch?v=07FYdnEawAQ
Let me know in the comments if it works for your, it works on my end.
