Check public restriction signals without claiming shadowban detection
Enter a public URL to review the reported status and compare it with what viewers can access. For reach concerns, inspect impressions, traffic sources, and policy notifications in the authorized YouTube Studio account, and check the video from the audience's region and device. This tool does not bypass age gates, private access, or restrictions and cannot inspect private recommendation logs, so treat its result as a limited metadata check.
A YouTube shadowban detector cannot establish whether a recommendation system has reduced distribution. It can inspect observable signals reported for a public video, such as availability, age restrictions, and whether embedding is allowed. A video that is unavailable in one region, age-gated, or blocked from embeds may have a specific policy or rights restriction; those facts alone do not prove a hidden account penalty.
