Youtube Videos Not Available In your Country? Watch Blocked Youtube Videos

May 15, 2009 · 6 comments

Internet users face problems accessing Youtube website when different countries decide to try internet censorship and ISPs block access to Youtube but you could be staying in countries like UK and USA and may not be able to watch certain videos on Youtube. The message “This video is not available in your country” comes up. Now this is not because of any censorship or ISPs blocking access to this video but this is because the owner and poster of videos use Youtube filters to limit these videos to one or more countries.


There are many such videos like Armor for sleep – Hold the door is not available outside USA and BBC’s clip Stop calling it a honeymoon can only be watched in UK.

Bypass Youtube Region Filtering To Watch Blocked Youtube Videos

Youtube determine your physical location (country) from the IP address of your computer. This trick can bypass this country-specific limitation.
If the URL of Youtube video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEwD36Dk1jw , replace /watch?v= part with /v so you new URL is now http://www.youtube.com/v/yEwD36Dk1jw. This simple trick can do the magic and you can watch a blocked Youtube video in your country.
