How to Recover YOUR YouTube Videos that YouTube Removed

This video teaches you how to recover YOUR KZbin videos that were removed by KZbin for violating terms of service. This is not a method on recovering videos that you yourself have deleted.
Earlier today, I uploaded a bunch of videos that had been removed BY KZbin. I thought that those videos had been removed forever!
Requirements:
1) The KZbin video must still exist in your dashboard.
Steps:
2) Visit your KZbin video as .com/embed/VideoID
3) Open Google Web Console, go to the Network tab, then play the KZbin video
4) In the Google Web Console, right click the Name of the largest Size column entry, copy and visit the link
5) Hit the download button to download the 360p version of the video

Doesn't seem to work for videos that were taken down for copyright

[@officialfreshietv]

It worked for me... try it again!

[@nahomipardo]

It also worked for my video taken down for copyright :)

[@BintooShoots]

It works even for those, I've tried it

[@moriahlee1421]

What do we do if the video isn't in our dashboard? I'm assuming youtube took it down, and it's over a year old. So bummed! I worked really hard on this video and it was an important one. Help!

[@jessicat9999]

It's not working for me. there is no option to hit play. Just the :/ face. Mine was also removed due to copyright

[@oxymoron02]

You are an absolute LEGEND. I had a video that was taken down in 2006 and I had no idea I could ever see it again, considering the original was lost in a HDD failure!

[@jeanbean2008]

Worked for me!! Thanks so much! I couldn't get it to work from the "embed" url - but I did go to the KZbin Studio and I could do the same steps (from the "developer tools") from the video editing page. Was able to recover the video from there. Thank you!

[@sassenachlightthis8425]

KZbin makes KZbinrs suffer for their own decisions how do you remove someone's video without giving him a chance to retrieve it and download it back without removing it, Making the owner cry!this happened to me,I cryed homie!

[@belgutwin5509]

Same

[@bajszosjozsef4850]

And the worst thing is that they keep the video on their servers for years!!! It's your property, if they remove it, at least provide you a way to keep it locally on your PC! It's basically theft in this state!!

[@sexybulala7413]

The same all my videos from when I was monetized I have been crying

[@SerpentCards]

Thank you! Any tips to avoid the same copyright issues when re-uploading?

[@OutrageousDeeds]

BRO you’re a freaking genius! I had a masterpiece up that was deleted by KZbin but u just solved my problem!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@themailzzkzig]

How can you solve it

[@JonoHarder]

You have no idea how grateful I am that you figured this out! THANK YOU!

[@horokeusensei]

Dude, it surely worked. I had a copyright claimed video that was available on my profile but was blocked for everyone else. Thanks to you I managed to at least download it again.

[@tylerschoulte]

Worked for me to restore a nostalgic video. Thank you! I was so frustrated by KZbin downloaders not working due to the private video being removed.

[@SlapperFlapperGaming]

Thank you so much for making this. I uploaded a video way over a year ago and lost the original file when my computer fried, and when some person who can't take a joke reported it, I thought I would never get it back.

[@xCrazyGuyNL]

Damn. My deleted videos were like a time-machine to me. I e-mailed KZbin how much I cared about getting them back, as I only had misleading words in the descriptions. This way I can have a nostalgie trip for the evening. About 20+ videos got deleted and I already watched 3 of them using this method. The videos age about 4+ years ago. So thank you very much for this

[@moonchildlysad838]

Was this really useful ??????? My all videos has been deleted .... Can I recover them by this method really????? Pls tell me

[@Urhoboman5]

To xCrazy : How and where do you email KZbin directly? Really need some help.

[@CelesteWhoknows]

Same. They removed a video from 7 years ago that was very dear to me. There was nothing inappropriate about it. They could have privatized it instead of stealing a memory from me.

[@misatzu]

They didn't steal anything, they just reminded you how incredibly dumb it is not to keep your own original backups.

[@CousinTV101]

yes one of my videos from 12 years ago got deleted

[@gareggia8]

Really thanks to you for this video ;) ! Is there no way to recover the deleted video in original quality (720p or 1080p) ?

[@scotts7777]

This still works as of Apr 30 2023, it's slightly different however. I had to go into KZbin -> Your Channel -> Content, then click on the video from the list to get to the "Video Details" page - then open Chrome Dev Tools, click on the actual video it'self to give it focus, then from that point it's the same as the video. Thanks MicrowaveSam for making this helpful video 5 years ago!! It saved me today!

[@MrSkateroli]

Hey @MicrowaveSam I can get to the embed screen but once I go to the neworks tab there is a gray fuzzy screen that says "This Video is Unavailable". Do you know how I can overcome this and get my video back?

[@OfficerPedroAlvarez]

Woosh m8

[@muygalan]

Very cool, Sam! Thanks for sharing this.

[@officialfreshietv]

So I got it to download, and I'm thinking about uploading it - but what would you suggest I edit/do - if I don't know why they deleted it in the first place? Cause won't it just get deleted again?

[@gabelossus]

Thank you! This seems to only work for videos that were removed by KZbin for terms of service, like you said. It also only seems to work if you are logged in as the person who uploaded the video, meaning you cannot recover other people's videos from your account. Still, this is very useful information and helped me get back an old video of mine. Thanks again!

[@dawnsfairy]

Mine keeps getting removed for copyright, but everyone else manages to upload the same type of videos and not get copyrighted what is this?

[@cheytv3479]

So once I download the video when I reupload it back to KZbin isn’t KZbin going to delete it again for violating KZbin terms?

[@kevinrcan]

Thank you SOOOOOO much bro !!! works great !!!

[@EliasOwnage95]

Can't download the video since I can't play it when I embed, any way to fix this?

[@gooddeedsleadto7499]

I attended a training program & downloaded sessions using KZbin premium. The moment the trainer took out my access to the content on their site, I lost access to the videos on KZbin. Is there anyway I can access & watch those videos on KZbin? I paid more than $3000 to the weekends training school over 5 months, & could not review them. The instructor would remove access 1 or 2 weeks after each weekend on average. I requested him to give me access because I was not able to find enough time during the week, but he would not heed & retort back that how would he be able to do his busy if he allowed it. Thanks

[@Affan404]

Thank You! Thank u! Thank u! Thanks For Bringing Back my memories! I am Almost crying! Thanks!

Why aren't some people keeping their videos stored locally? Geesh, you'd think they'd know that.

[@VideoGameBlackBeltGaming]

Bro. Thank you so much. You are literally a life saver. I lost so many hours of sleep thinking about a video that took me weeks that I lost due to copyright. I truly appreciate this, and I am SO happy.

[@sharltn]

[@riganpatel]

awesome video thanks man! if author removed a video short while after posting it, and i did watch it, is there a way i can retrieve it?

[@raplayer7515]

Omg thank you so much. I have old youtube videos that i uploaded in 2009 and they were on youtube for a good amount of years and then they were taken down by youtube. I thought i was never going to get them back but now i did ❤

[@MayaBailey33]

By any chance is there a way to download somebody else's video that they have made private so now i can't watch it anymore? I know this is probably impossible but i thought i'd ask just in case since up until a couple of seconds ago i also thought downloading my own deleted videos was impossible but you've just proved me wrong...

[@aNNaTutorialVideo]

hi! I'm just a beginner on youtube.. Just wanna ask, Why youtube deleted my cooking video..?? Im pretty sure there is no violation on my video bcoz it is purely a cooking video. What do u think is the reason?

[@rockstarjojorodriguez7279]

Question for you, what if KZbin blocked my video, because a copyright owner claimed that video.... how can I re-open that video????

[@InnaLebedevaRomero]

you're the best! I just recovered the video of my baby daughter that was blocked by KZbin as sexually inappropriate (there was a couple of naked baby pics), and I hadn't saved the project on my laptop. Thank you!

[@zuzuspetals7767]

If someone saves a video and it is later removed from youtube is the saved video still available or removed? Thanks in advance

[@santigamer1093]

With "recover" you meant just to download it it? I thought this video shows how to get it back on your channel, or it isn't possible once it has been removed by youtube?

[@stuckinseasia]

I can't believe this still works. I know some people say that it doesn't but maybe they're doing it wrong. I got back a video I thought I would never see again because youtube had the only copy of it and it was deleted for violating their terms of service. So happy to have it back !

[@sexybulala7413]

How did you do it pls all my videos from when I was monetized gone

[@robkrasinski6217]

You really should save an offline copy of your video. You can't trust youtube. They will delete videos if they are music, movies, or TV shows and the copyright holder complains. That happens to me when I save links to vids and I go back to them and they are deleted because of a copyright claim. Sometimes the person's account is banned. There are other sites which might be more lax and not delete videos, like Vimeo and Internet Archive.

[@MysteryPancake]

this actually works, thanks a lot

[@JonnyRunning]

I had a video from 2008 get removed. I appreciate this tutorial tremendously!

[@kookybaejk87]

I am not able to do the further process after I open the new tab and paste it.. after that my video doesn’t play

[@blackxcherry22]

I had private videos that didn't violate anything. They just disappeared after I uploaded more. Is there a limit?? I didn't get a warning.

[@TehDwelleR]

I don't need to get my video back, thankfully i have an external hard drive to save videos and montages in. However, the video i had was in 59.94fps and it's lost, but in my hard drive i have 29fps version of that video, upgrading to 59,94 just downgrades quality ffs.Doesn't youtube save the orignal video link somewhere and then downgrades it?

This used to work but it doesnt seem to now. The video wont play. Any fix to this?

doesnt work for videos taken down for censorship or for anything from infowars

[@richardgereshamster7199]

Iv just got my video back that was deleted for censorship, it was about the rothschilds.haha I followed this video but when I pushed play it still said it was deleted, I can never remember how to get to the video editor but what I did was... click on any of your videos, then click the edit button below the video to get to the studio, then click the Return to channel arrow (next to the video name), then I scrolled down and click on the deleted video I was looking for, on the next page theres a small video screen on the right, I pushed play on it and I can watch the video there. What I did then was click File, (at the top of my browser, I use Firefox) then Save page as..., then when the save box opens click the Save as type dropdown and choose Web Page, Complete (htm html), then choose save destination and click save. go to where you saved it and open the folder that just downloaded, and there should be a video called videoplayback.mp4 (thats what my one was called) its very low quality but it plays on gom player perfect.

[@DavidHudson]

I guess that it was no accident that this video was uploaded on the 1st of April.

[@gabelossus]

It works, trust me, just under two conditions I stated above: The video must have been removed specifically for terms of service violation (meaning KZbin didn't really delete it from their servers, they just hid it as best they could), and you must be logged in as the person who originally uploaded the video. I tested it on an old video of mine that met both conditions and it worked like a charm.
