Regular YouTube users may not realize how many videos are age-restricted on the platform. It only becomes apparent when you browse YouTube anonymously or try to download it. Many downloaders fail to download age-restricted videos since access to them requires YouTube account authorization.

However, 4K Video Downloader Plus can easily help you download any age-restricted YouTube videos in no minute! Just follow the steps below.
