YouTube error code
VIDEO-UNAVAILABLE
YouTube will not play this particular video for you, though the rest of YouTube works.
YouTube will not play this particular video for you, though the rest of YouTube works. There are several very different reasons behind the same wording, and they are not equally fixable. The video may be blocked in your country, set to private, removed, age-restricted, or blocked by the account holder. The exact second line of the message is what tells you which.

Try this first
Read the second line of the message
1 minute- 1."not made this video available in your country" means a regional block. Nothing on your device will change it.
- 2."This video is private" means the uploader restricted it. Only they can grant access.
- 3."This video has been removed" means it is gone permanently.
- 4.No second line at all usually means a temporary fault, and the fixes below apply.
