This article is for YouTube settings in Google Workspace. To enable Restricted Mode on a personal Google Account, go to Disable or enable Restricted Mode.
As a Google Workspace administrator, you can give unrestricted YouTube access to specific users at your work or school. These users can then view any YouTube content when they're signed in with their work or school accounts. However, users that Google Workspace for Education admins designate as under the age of 18 can't access content marked 18+.
Note: Google Workspace accounts in the free trial period do not have access to some features in YouTube.
