🌍 YouTube Region Restriction Checker
See whether a video carries country restrictions in its metadata — useful for music, sports and licensed content.
📡 Live-data tool
Public data from the official YouTube Data API. Results are cached for a short time to save quota.
How to use the YouTube Region Restriction Checker
- Paste a video link.
- Press Get data.
- Search the country list and export it.
Why creators use it
- Find out why viewers in some countries cannot watch a licensed video.
- Check music or sports clips before embedding them on a global site.
Good to know
- Uses the official YouTube Data API v3. Data shown is exactly what the API returns for public videos and channels; private, deleted or region-blocked items return no data.
- This shows restriction metadata only. A video can still be unavailable because of copyright claims, age restriction, government blocks, network issues or embedding settings, so this is not a playback guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
What does “no restriction metadata” mean?
YouTube does not list allowed or blocked countries for this video. It is normally viewable everywhere, but other reasons can still block playback.
What are the two-letter codes?
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes, e.g. US, GB, IN.
