Bypass YouTube Country Restrictions And Watch Videos In Any Country

Submitted by admin on Sun, 04/20/2008 - 01:51.

Earlier we have posted trick on How to watch videos deleted by YouTube, here is another simple hack to watch videos not available for your country bypassing YouTube's geographical restrictions, many videos on YouTube are not available for all countries and users from non-allowed countries are shown the message "This video is not available in your country" on accessing these videos.

Bypass YouTube Restrictions

However, YouTube can be easily tricked into displaying the videos in all countries by altering the URL a bit, for example instead of the regular url - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNIQUEVIDEOID, access http://www.youtube.com/v/UNIQUEVIDEOID (here UNIQUEVIDEOID is a unique 11 character video id code of the particular video).

Example:
Try watching this US specific video using the regular URL - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9ciR9qR1dU, now try this altered URL - http://www.youtube.com/v/I9ciR9qR1dU.
