YouTube Region Restrictions Checker
Check which countries a YouTube video is available or blocked in
Check where a YouTube video is blocked
The YouTube Region Restriction Checker shows which countries can watch a video and which ones can't. Paste a YouTube link to see the allowed and blocked countries on a world map and in a list, plus whether the video plays where you are now. It is free and needs no account.
How to check a video's regions
- 1
Paste the YouTube link
Watch, Shorts, live and youtu.be links all work. DownSub reads the video's region rules from YouTube.
- 2
Read the verdict
A banner says whether the video is region restricted at all, followed by a check for the country you are browsing from.

Look up any country
Browse the map or the allowed and blocked lists, each country shown with its flag and name in your language.
What the checker shows
World map
Allowed and blocked countries are colored on a map, so a block that covers a whole region is obvious at a glance.
Full country lists
When YouTube only lists allowed countries, DownSub works out the blocked ones from its list of 241 countries, and the other way round.
Your own access
DownSub detects the country you are browsing from and tells you whether the video should play there.
Other viewing limits
The result also notes an age restriction, made-for-kids status, members-only access and content ratings when YouTube reports them.

Region checker FAQ
Why does a video say it is not available in my country?
Uploaders and rights holders can limit a video to some countries or block it in others, usually for licensing or legal reasons. The checker shows exactly which countries the rule covers.
Is the region checker free?
Yes. Checking a video costs no credits and doesn't need an account.
What does 'no region restrictions' mean?
YouTube reports no country rules for the video, so it is available everywhere unless something else applies, such as an age restriction or members-only access.
How does it know my country?
The country is detected from your connection when you run the check. If it can't be detected, the checker says so and still shows the full country lists.
Can I still get the subtitles of a blocked video?
Region rules only decide who can watch the video on YouTube. Try the link in the Subtitle Downloader: it lists whatever subtitle tracks it can find for the video.
