Watching Flagged/Restricted YouTube Videos

In many countries, the governments have banned YouTube giving some damned stupid reasons.
They are mostly banned to avoid disputes arising out of some inappropriate content of the video or due to problem of distribution rights. If you try to access such videos, you will find the following notice - “This video is not available in your country” or something alike.

But there is no need to worry! Here is a little trick to get access to these sort of videos . The trick doesn’t require any software or tools!

Suppose a video is located at - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abc (this link is just for example and it doesn’t point to any video).

Now what you need to do is remove “watch?” and replace the “=” symbol with “/”. Now the original video URL will be replaced as -

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

This trick also works if you happened to get the following notice for some video -

This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube’s user community.

By clicking “Confirm”, you are agreeing that all videos or groups flagged by the YouTube community will be viewable by this account.
