How to view 18+ videos on YouTube without having to sign out*

Tired of being told "Sorry, you need to be over 18 to watch this video" when browsing your favourite shows on YouTube? Here's an easy workaround!

* This works with TV shows and other partner videos who can add their own video ratings (often these videos may start with warnings about language etc). Non-partner video normally require you to sign in


Enter your browser's private mode. This may be called "Private Browsing", "InPrivate Browsing" or "Incognito Window".

This usually sandboxes that browsing session from all of your existing cookies etc, and forgets any cookies etc from the private session after you end it.

Click refresh.

3 - TIP: View 18+ videos on YouTube without signing out!
This time, when YouTube checks your cookies, your browser will say "There's no YouTube cookie here lol" and YouTube will be like "K lol, no ones signed in" and asks you to confirm with a stupid button. You can lie if you can deal with the moral disheartening of lying to a huge faceless company.

And... voila! You can watch your video now!


BROTIP: You can exit private browsing if (like in Safari) it sandboxes all of your tabs. This means things like Facebook will work without having to log in again. The YouTube video will continue to work and play as long as you keep that tab open and don't refresh :)

        Yeah but it sucks to do that when you have an account with a fair amount of videos, views, allowed to monetize videos and make videos longer than 15 minutes - not to mention it has the only name I would ever want to use.

        NOTE: Being able to monetize videos and make videos longer than 15 min takes quite a while - it's not something you ask for (unless you become a partner), they just do it based on a certain popularity (actually quite low) and your account standing (how you have played by the community rules - no offensive videos or copyright infringements across a selection of videos)

          I think they let anyone do that now. My youtube account has numerous copyright claims against it and I can monetize/submit 15min+ views now.

            Haha ok... it may not be to do with copyright. But the point is, my account has good status and a name which I don't want to throw away. (I have had copyright notices, but not infringements - notices are where they say "This content was matched from your video. No further action is needed, but your video may be removed if the content holder changes their policies".

              I've had a majority of my videos muted, and some taken down :P They're all like 5 year old RS vids though back when I played that game haha I only keep them up to advertise my website and cause they have a decent amount of views(50-100k).

              you could just keep your account and make another one that says you are over 18, you may have to switch sometimes to see a over 18 video but whatever, or you just go to a porn site like a normal underaged and just click YES when you are asked if you are over 18, most porn sides dont even ask you anymore

                Yeah, but that means signing out and signing in again. With this way, you just put it in private and refresh, then taking it out of private auto-signs you in again (because teh cookie 'reappears')
