Workaround 1: Remove Ads on YouTube Videos on your Channel

How to block YouTube ads? Actually, YouTube offers users an option to stop ads showing up in your channel. However, this only blocks ads that appear in your channel based on your interest or alongside your videos.

 

Step 1. Go to Creator Studio
First of all, log into your YouTube account. Then, navigate to your profile icon on the top right of the page. Click your profile icon and then click "Creator Studio".

 

Go to Creator Studio

 

Step 2. Channel Advanced Settings
Once your creator studio loads you're taken to the overall settings page for your YouTube account. Click "Channels" and then choose "Advanced" from the open-up list.

Step 3. Turn off Advertisements
In Advanced settings section, you can find advertisement settings. By default, the "Allow Advertisements to be displayed alongside my videos" checkbox will be selected. If you want to remove ads from your YouTube videos or avoid advertisement in YouTube,  UNCHECK it to disable YouTube ADs! Then, click "Save" to make your change.

Note: This way can only eliminate ads from YouTube videos on your channel. But you can share this post with anyone whom you'd like to turn off ads on their own videos. The more people we send this to the fewer ads we'll see on YouTube!

 

Workaround 2: Block YouTube Ads with Adblock Plus

This free extension enjoys worldwide popularity, which is able to block tracking, banners, pop-ups, video ads on YouTube and Facebook. This extension is available on many browsers.

    • If you're using a MacBook, MacBook Air, iMac Pro or MacBook Pro, you can open Safari and select "Safari Extensions" in the Safari drop-down menu. Then, search for Adblock Plus and install it.
