Have you seen any messages like “This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by XYZ” when you’re trying to play a YouTube video? If yes, the video has been removed due to some common reasons like copyright infridgement or the video owner deleted the video - or even if the video is not safe for work.
But still, it is not exactly impossible to watch unavailable YouTube video. Most of the time, YouTube will have another copy of the video stored elsewhere on their server - just that it has been taken off from the main site. To watch the unavailable YouTube video, you can try using Delutube.
Delutube is a website made to watch those unavailable videos.
All you have to do is to watch an unavailable video is:
- Go to Delutube
- Know your YouTube video ID - for example, 2WXD8dyOL60 in the case of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WXD8dyOL60
- Copy and paste the video ID to the box
- Click on view video
If the above method won’t work, try http://www.youtube.infamousx.com/v/VIDEO ID HERE
It might not work on all unavailable videos though, some videos might have been deleted permanently by YouTube. Delutube do play random unavailable videos, and as most unavailable video are deleted because it contains NSFW materials like porn and such - you might get to see them. So use it at your own risk.

I cam across a site here that will let you watch videos that have been removed from Youtube, because apparently they are still there, just not listed. Sneaky but cool. Thanks to Vincent Chow….
