How to Turn Off YouTube Age Restriction

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to disable age restriction on your YouTube channel.

Quick summary

To turn off YouTube age restriction on your channel, you must update the Audience setting in YouTube Studio's Advanced channel settings. This five-step process takes under two minutes and applies the change to all future video uploads.


Steps

  1. Go to studio.youtube.com and sign in to your account.
  2. Click Settings at the bottom of the left sidebar.
  3. Click Channel, then select Advanced settings.
  4. Under Audience, select No, set this channel as not made for kids if it is not already checked.
  5. Click Save to apply the change to all future uploads.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube's age restriction setting can inadvertently limit your channel's reach by flagging content as made for kids, which disables comments, notifications, and certain monetization features. Turning off age restriction in YouTube Studio's Advanced channel settings ensures your videos are accessible to a broader audience and retain full platform functionality. For creators and brands publishing general-audience content, correctly configuring the Audience setting is a critical step in maximizing video visibility and engagement. This tutorial covers the exact steps to disable age restriction channel-wide in under two minutes.
