What Is This Tool?

The YouTube Region Restriction Checker tells you in which countries a YouTube video can be watched. A video owner, such as a music label or studio, can block a video in some countries or allow it in only a few. This tool reads the restrictions YouTube lists for the video and shows them as a clear country list.

Only available in some countries (amber): the video works only in the few countries on the Allowed tab and is blocked everywhere else.
Not available in any country: YouTube lists no country where the video can be watched.
Age-restricted: shown as a note. It is a viewer-age rule, not a country block.

Troubleshooting

"Video not found" message

The video may be private, deleted or the link is wrong. Check the link in your browser and try again.

The video says available but I cannot watch it

The restriction may come from your network, school or country blocking YouTube itself, or from account settings. This tool only reports the video's own country restrictions.

"Hourly limit" message

To keep the tool free for everyone, each visitor can run a limited number of checks per hour. Videos you already checked stay instant.
