How to watch restricted Youtube videos?

Youtube

Sometimes, when you try to view some videos in Youtube, you would have received an message “This video is not available in your country”.

In such cases, this trick may be of some help.

Let’s say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abcdef12345 is your video URL, where abcdef1235 is the unique video id generated by Youtube.

Modify this URL as follows

http://www.youtube.com/v/abcdef12345

Enter the modified URL in the browser to view the restricted video. Now you will be able to watch the video.

This trick may not work for all videos. Not sure about the reason behind this. But this trick works for most of the videos.

Have fun!

    Too bad it doesn’t work indeed! I’ve long been looking for an alternative in bypassing Youtube restrictions but I guess I have to stick to it for the mean time. Though I must say it works perfectly so far! Would love to know more if there are other bypasses.

    Regards,
