Tuesday Tech Tip: Watch Age Restricted YouTube Videos Without Signing In
You’ve got two options:
If you stumble upon a YouTube video that, for one reason or another has been set as “age restricted,” you can still watch the video without signing in or confirming your age. Just use this little URL trick.
If you remove the watch? and replace the = with a /,you’ll get a link that goes directly to the video without the rest of the YouTube site, and it’ll play full-width in your browser.
or
Add nsfw before the youtube.com portion of the link.
