Why YouTube Videos Get Blocked. There's a plethora of reasons that explain why you may not be able to access the video you're looking forward to watching: traveling to a new location, schools and workplaces blocking access, countries censoring YouTube, creators restricting their videos and more.

Basically this error means you've encountered an unexpected interruption for one or more reasons including: internet connection or network settings issues, outdated web browsers or app versions, accumulated cache and cookies, or downtime in YouTube servers.

Try updating your browser or clear your browser's cache & cookies. You can also check whether your browser extensions that block ads are affecting video playback. As another option, try opening YouTube in an incognito window with all extensions disabled and check if the issue continues.
