Losing a valuable YouTube video can be frustrating, especially if it had a significant number of views or was part of an important series. Fortunately, YouTube offers a solution to this common predicament through its Video Manager tool. In this article, we will guide you step by step on how to restore a deleted YouTube video through YouTube Video Manager.

Can I really restore a deleted YouTube video?

Yes, you can! YouTube understands that mistakes happen, and they provide a simple process to recover deleted videos.

Where can I find the YouTube Video Manager?

To access the YouTube Video Manager, sign in to your YouTube account and click on your profile picture at the top-right corner of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select “YouTube Studio.” Once in the YouTube Studio, look for the “Videos” tab on the left-hand sidebar, and click on “Video Manager.”

How can I restore a deleted YouTube video?

In the YouTube Video Manager, you will see a list of all your uploaded videos. If a video has been deleted, it will be marked with a red exclamation mark. To restore, simply click on the video with the red exclamation mark.

What happens after I click on the video with the red exclamation mark?

Clicking on the video will open a new window with more details about the deletion. Here, you can read the reason for the deletion and find options to recover the video.

What are the recovery options available?

YouTube offers two recovery options: “Restore this video” and “Permanently delete.” To restore the video, click on “Restore this video.” Keep in mind that there is a time limit for recovery, so it’s essential to act promptly.

What if the Restore this video option is not available?

If the “Restore this video” option is not available, it means that the video has been deleted too long ago and is no longer recoverable. Unfortunately, YouTube cannot restore videos that have exceeded their recovery time limit.

Can I recover multiple videos at once?

Yes, you can! In the YouTube Video Manager, you can select multiple videos by either holding down the Ctrl key (or Command key on macOS) while clicking on the videos. After selecting the desired videos, click on the “Actions” button above the video list and choose “Restore.”

Is there anything I can do to prevent accidental video deletion?

YouTube provides an additional layer of protection against accidental video deletion by allowing you to archive videos instead. Archiving a video removes it from public view, but you can still access it later for re-upload or reference. To archive a video, simply click on the “Visibility” option next to the video in the YouTube Video Manager and select “Private.”

Can I restore a video that was flagged and removed by YouTube?

No, unfortunately, videos that were flagged and removed by YouTube for policy violations cannot be restored through the Video Manager. In such cases, it is best to review YouTube’s Community Guidelines and copyright policies to understand the reason for removal.

Remember, accidents happen to the best of us, but with YouTube’s Video Manager, you can easily recover deleted videos. By following these steps and being proactive in archiving important content, you can ensure that your valuable YouTube videos are safely preserved and easily accessible for your audience to enjoy.
