What is Restricted Mode in YouTube?
Restricted Mode is an opt-in setting available on the computer and mobile site that helps screen out potentially objectionable content that you may prefer not to see or don’t want others in your family to stumble across while enjoying YouTube. Note: If you turn on Restricted Mode on one platform (for example mobile), the setting won’t carry across to other platforms (for example the web). You’ll need to turn on Restricted Mode manually on each platform and each YouTube profile you use. Also, when restricted Mode in Youtube is activated, you won’t be able to see comments on any of the videos you watch.
How does Youtube restricted mode work?
YouTube’s automated system looks at signals like the video’s metadata, title, and the language used in the video. Some videos may not be available in Restricted Mode as a result of human reviewers applying an age-restriction to a video.
YouTube uses a set of Community Guidelines – to help content creators determine what is and isn’t appropriate to post. The Community Guidelines include guides on nudity or sexual content, hateful content, harmful or dangerous content, and violent or graphic content.
