[YouTube Error Fixed] This Video is Unavailable in Your Country

Part 1. Why Is This Video Unavailable In My Country?

Some YouTube videos are not available in all countries and regions for numerous reasons,

• Video owners might not have made their content available in your country or region.
• Local laws prevent YouTube from showing a particular video.

These two are the most common reasons why you are not being able to view the YouTube video. However, all you have to do is change your location to a different country (in which the YouTube video is available), and you can access it. And that's what we will discuss in this guide.

Part 2. How to Fix the "This Video is Unavailable in Your Country" Error?

As mentioned, there are several ways to deal with the "This video is unavailable in your country" error. You can follow anyone from this list of six ways to counter the "This video is unavailable in your country" error on YouTube.

Method 1. YouTube URL Trick

One of the easiest ways to deal with the "This content is unavailable in your country" error is changing the URL of the blocked YouTube video.

You will see a URL as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={custom address} when you play a video.

All you have to do is replace the /watch?v= part with watch/v. That is, remove the question mark (?) and replace it with the slash (/) in between the "watch and v" parts of the URL.

Once you replace the URL, you can access it from a blocked region.

Note: This trick does not work for all users. So, ensure to follow through with the next steps, as the next methods to unblock YouTube videos work for everyone.

Method 2. Download Blocked YouTube Videos

If you see the "this video is unavailable in your country" message, you can download the videos from YouTube downloader sites. The best thing about YouTube downloader sites is most of them are free, so you do not have to pay a dime extra to download the blocked videos from YouTube.

To download the blocked YouTube videos, go to a YouTube downloader site, like Savefrom.net:

• Paste the YouTube URL of the blocked video into the URL box.
• Choose a video resolution.
• And click on Download.

This will download the video to the local storage, and you can watch it seamlessly. There are also other YouTube downloader sites like Snappea.com. Needless to say, this method is and is effective when you want to access only one or two blocked videos.

However, if you want to access multiple videos, then it is best to look for other ways to make the video available that are marked by "this content is unavailable in your country."

Method 3. Use Chrome Web Browser Extensions

Some Chrome extensions allow you to change your location by altering your IP address. You can download such proxies on the Chrome browser and access the YouTube content in the countries where the video is available for the users.

Some of the popular proxies for Chrome are Hola VPN Extension, ProxFlow Extension, and Unblocker for YouTube.

Here's How to Use the Hola VPN Extension to deal with the YouTube video not available in your country error:

• Search for Chrome Web Store.
• In the Chrome Web Store, search for Hola VPN.
• Download the Hold VPN.
• Enable the extension. Click on the Extension. Sign up by filling in the details, like Your name, why you are using the VPN, and so on.
• Choose a country from the list of options.
• Now, play the YouTube video and enjoy.

It is important to note that the free version of the proxies like Hola VPN does not allow you to use fast servers. There will be so many users on a particular server that the server cannot work on your request quickly. So, your internet connection will be slow. And that is why it is best to use the premium version of the extensions like Hola VPN.

Method 4. Use a Web Proxy

A web proxy, more or less, works like Google Extensions. That is, it alters your IP address and allows you to change your location. By changing the location to a country where the YouTube video is available, you can easily access the content.

Some of the popular Web Proxies are ProxyFox, ProxySite, Hide.me, and HideMyAss.

To use a web proxy like HideMyAss, follow these simple steps:

• Go to the Official site of HideMyAss.
• Click on the Web Proxy.
• Sign up and provide all the details required by the service.
• Choose an alternate location (where the YouTube Video is not blocked).
• Navigate to the YouTube page.
• Copy the page URL and paste it into the Web proxy page.
• And search for the content you want to access.
• Since you have changed the location using a web proxy, you can access the YouTube that has been blocked in your location. And the problem of "this video is not available in your country" will be resolved.

Once again, the free version of the web proxies will degrade your internet speed. As a result, you cannot stream YouTube videos in high quality or without buffering. Still, you can upgrade your plan and watch high-quality YouTube videos.

Another problem with web proxies is that it is effective only on one tab. For instance, you must revisit the web proxy page to view the YouTube video again. And you cannot access the YouTube video from another tab on the same browser.

Method 5. Use a VPN

Just like an Extension and a Web Proxy, a VPN also allows you to hide your real IP and change your geolocation. However, unlike an Extension or Web proxy, a VPN is installed on the computer. So, you can view the YouTube video from any browser on the computer.

However, it is important to note that VPNs are generally more costly than web proxies and Google Chrome extensions. Nevertheless, a VPN is the best answer if you have to view multiple blocked YouTube videos. Simply put, a reliable VPN does not throttle your internet speed. This means you can highly view the blocked YouTube videos without any buffering.

Some of the best VPNs in the market are Surfshark, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, and Private Internet Access.

Here's How to use Express VPN to view blocked YouTube videos:

• Download the ExpressVPN program on the computer.
• Install the program.
• Sign up and provide the payment details.
• Once the ExpressVPN setup is complete, choose a country from the list of countries or server locations.

• Go to the browser and search for the blocked YouTube video.
• Enjoy the content in high quality and without any buffering.

A VPN is the best way to troubleshoot the "this video is unavailable in your country" issue. Additionally, it is important to retain that a VPN provides much-needed anonymity when you are online.

Method 6. Use Tor Browser

Unlike a regular browser, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, a Tor browser allows you to use the internet differently. It does not depend on the IP addresses to communicate information from one end to the other. Instead, it works on a peer-to-peer network. And the communication lines are encrypted with numerous layers. That is why a Tor browser is also called an Onion browser.

Nevertheless, a Tor browser can solve the issue seamlessly if you face the "this video is unavailable in your country" error.

Here's How to Use the Tor browser:

• Go to the Torproject.org website.
• On the Tor browser page, click on Download.
• Wait for the program to download on the computer. Install the program after downloading it.

• Once downloaded, install the Tor Browser application.

• Open the Tor browser. And click on the Always connect automatically. Connecting to the network means you will connect to the Tor network to access the contents.

You can paste the YouTube URL to access the blocked YouTube video directly. Or search for the blocked YouTube video manually.

We have listed the best ways to deal with the "This video is unavailable in your country" error on YouTube. All these methods do work and allow you to access the blocked YouTube video. However, it depends on you to choose a suitable method, as some troubleshooting ways, like using a Chrome Extension, might be unsuitable for you if you are looking to binge-watch blocked YouTube videos.
