  • How do I block a YouTube channel?
  • You can’t usually block a YouTube channel directly, but you can keep the platform from recommending it to you. Select the More menu (three vertical dots) next to a video in your Recommended feed and choose Don’t recommend channel. It should stop appearing when you open the app or website. The YouTube Kids app provides more options for parents to block individual users and channels.
  • How do I block ads on YouTube?
  • An ad blocker for a browser won’t necessarily stop the ads that play before and during YouTube videos. The easiest way to stop seeing ads is with a subscription to YouTube Premium.
