YouTube: Restricted mode explained - all info

Restricted mode provides better protection for minors on YouTube. The setting is easy to find. Our guide explains how to enable the mode on the three main platforms.

With restricted mode, inappropriate content is automatically hidden from view.

Protecting minors is an important issue, and as the largest video platform in the world, YouTube has an even greater responsibility.

How to enable restricted mode on YouTube

Depending on your platform, you can find the mode as follows:

• On the PC (in the browser), you'll find the setting at the very bottom of the footer area. Set there "Restricted Mode" to "On".
• With iOS mobile devices such as the iPhone, open the "Settings" in the YouTube app and can make the change there at "Filter Restricted Mode".
• In the Anrdoid app, open the menu with the three dots at the top right, open the "Settings" and "General". Dann können Sie „Eingeschränkter Modus“ aktivieren.

Als Folge kann Ihr Account viele Videos nicht mehr sehen, zum Beispiel solche, die bereits im Titel einen Inhalt mit gewalttätigem oder sexuellem Bezug andeuten. Ebenfalls beachtet werden Altersbeschränkungen und Verstöße gegen die Richtlinien.
