Manage your organization's YouTube settings - Google Workspace Admin Help
The domain administrator can approve the video or make the user an approver. What if there’s a difference between YouTube settings configured in the Admin console and settings configured for your network or device? For signed-in users, the Admin console settings override network or device settings. For example, if a user is on a network with Strict Restricted YouTube access, but their organizational unit has Moderate Restricted YouTube access, then the user has Moderate Restricted YouTube access.

r/techsupport on Reddit: How do I turn off restricted mode if it is activated by my network administrator?
January 29, 2022 -
When trying to turn off restricted mode the box says “turned on by your network administrator to help hide potentially mature videos” I am unable to turn this off or figure out who my network administrator is. I have tried the solution posted but it did not work. I cannot find other solutions online and there should be no age restrictions. This setting is on all of my devices.

So if you're using google chrome, you can go to (setting) then (privacy and security) section, scroll down and disable (Use Secure DNS) or change it to (With your current service provider). Cause if that option is with like (CleanBrowsing family filter) it forces youtube and google search to use restricted mode without the ability to disable it within google or youtube settings, i use that on my young family member to avoid mature content exposure. hope this fixes your issue.

September 7, 2025 - I'm not uninstalling and re-installing browsers because of an issue YouTube/Google slammed us with. I didn't bother re-starting as it didn't help that guy (maybe I'll try re-starting tonight). Another guy finally got it to work with: "I encountered this issue today for the first time & resolved it by manually changing my main/alternate DNS using 'DNS Benchmark'.. then ran "ipconfig /release" --> "ipconfig /renew" --> "ipconfig /flushdns" back to back through Command Prompt as administrator.

r/k12sysadmin on Reddit: Problems with Youtube
February 2, 2023 -
So here's my problem: Within the last few weeks, Youtube has been randomly blocking videos with the message: "Video unavailable This video is restricted. Please check the Google Workspace administrator and/or the network administrator restrictions". Now this is different from the content filter that we can subvert by going into incognito. No matter what browser, computer, user, etc we use, it will always get blocked for both students and staff. Except for mine and a few other admins computers. The content of these videos is insanely varied. Spanish music videos, SOS training videos, kindergarten sing a longs, even students videos that just were uploaded to their personal page. NO OTHER PAGES ARE BLOCKED TOO. None. It's literally just YouTube and YouTube alone
Now we made sure that each OU we use on Google Workspace has age restrictions set for all, made sure that restricted mode is turned off for each, the firewall is not blocking it, our WiFi (Aruba central) doesn't have anything on it, there are no restrictions from JAMF, we don't have anything blocked through DNS (we even changed it to 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2), our AD is putting the users in the right places, packet capture shows nothing, RTMP is golden. Other than having bits of skin on my keyboard from bashing my face into it, everything seems right.
I talked to Workspace support and they basically sent me the email attached after them "looking into my problem" for a week.
I'm at a loss of what to do, and it seems to be getting worse and spreading across district.

Its because those users are in OUs that you identified as being under the age of 18. As a result google changes how some of their services are offered to those users including the filtering of videos on youtube that may not be age appropriate. The really frustrating thing is google will not tell you what each video is rated so we have teachers assigning videos that students cannot access. According to my support case, there isn't anything we can do to override these decisions or check a video ahead of time.
