Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does the tool show a video as unavailable when I can view it?

A: There are several possible reasons: the video might be private (only visible to you), age-restricted, or region-blocked in certain countries. Our tool checks global availability and can't bypass these restrictions.

Q: Can I check multiple videos at once?

A: We're currently developing bulk checking functionality which will be available soon. Subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when this feature launches.

Q: How accurate is this tool compared to YouTube's API?

A: Our tool provides similar accuracy to YouTube's official API for availability checks. However, for complete metadata (like exact view counts), the official API would be more precise but requires authentication.

Q: Does this tool work for unlisted videos?

A: Yes, if you have the exact URL, our tool can verify unlisted videos. However, we can't discover unlisted videos - you must provide the specific URL.

Q: Is there a limit to how many videos I can check?

A: Currently there's no hard limit, but very frequent requests might be temporarily rate-limited to ensure service quality for all users.
