  • This video teaches you how to recover YOUR UA-cam videos that were removed by UA-cam 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 UA-cam. I thought that those videos had been removed forever!
    Requirements:
    1) The UA-cam video must still exist in your dashboard.
    Steps:
    2) Visit your UA-cam video as .com/embed/VideoID
    3) Open Google Web Console, go to the Network tab, then play the UA-cam 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

      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!

      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!!

    This still works as of Apr 30 2023, it's slightly different however. I had to go into UA-cam -> 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!

    Damn. My deleted videos were like a time-machine to me. I e-mailed UA-cam 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

    I figured out that it was because i said the word "executed" when teaching people how to put transactions in a platform. Even after removing it they just muted the whole part! I've downloaded the video and it is still without sound. What do i do? i deleted the video from the PC because i could donwload it anytime from youtube, now they've fucked me!

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!

      Try logging into UA-cam Studio, open developer tools the same way they did in the video, click network and then at the top you can filter the type of files you get. I clicked on media to filter only media files. Next, open your “content” thru UA-cam Studio and click on the deleted video. In your developer tools you should see a file come up, mine was called “videoplayback?expire....”right click that to copy and open in a new tab. It worked for me, hope it works for you!

      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.

    I attended a training program & downloaded sessions using UA-cam premium.
    The moment the trainer took out my access to the content on their site, I lost access to the videos on UA-cam.
    Is there anyway I can access & watch those videos on UA-cam?
    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.

      @gabelossus 5 років тому +2

      It works, trust me, just under two conditions I stated above: The video must have been removed specifically for terms of service violation (meaning UA-cam 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.

    One of my older videos has been found by someone and reported for "Violent criminal organizations" _only_ because it had nasheed music in the background. Despite the suspicious date of upload, this method actually works and I've been able to recover the whole video!
    However, as Santtuinen's comment says, it'll only work when you preview your video in UA-cam Studio *and* when it's still available. After receiving a warning or a strike due to violation of terms, UA-cam gives you seven days to watch that video before it's gone for good (or not).
    Don't ask what was I thinking when I added nasheed to the video. Truth is, I thought it was fitting, and I don't even do that anymore. Sheesh, 2K views down the drain...

    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?

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