Youtube content creators might delete certain videos from their channels for various reasons. It may leave you the viewer in a dilemma on how to find ways to watch a deleted video if you can’t access it from the creator directly.
There are ways you can watch a deleted Youtube video. I will discuss two ways by which you can do this.
Watch Deleted YouTube Videos with a URL
- First of all, find the URL in your YouTube email, channel account if you’re searching for your uploaded video. You can find the link in browser history, in YouTube history, or you may have shared the link on social media.
- Head over to the archive.org website and paste the YouTube video URL in the search bar and press return.
- Once you find your video on the internet archive, you can see the details of the video.
- You won’t be able to play the video directly, but you should be able to download it. Right, click the video to find the option to download the video.
Watch Deleted YouTube Videos without a URL
- Open a new tab in your browser and go to the Google search bar. We’re going to employ a technique from the SEO expert’s toolbox – Google Search Operators.
- In the search bar, type “site:www.youtube.com + name Of TheVideo”
- This way Google will crawl all the name-relevant videos only from the YouTube databases and move us closer to finding our deleted YouTube video.
- If you know the video was shared by someone on Facebook or any other social media platform, you can change the site URL in the search bar, replacing YouTube with Facebook, for example.
- Once you find the video URL, you can simply go back to the first method that we discussed and paste the URL into the internet archive. The archive will give you the video and you can enjoy watching a deleted YouTube video.
