Last updated on January 14th, 2026 at 6:12 am
With more than 122 million users accessing YouTube daily, the video streaming service has been an undisputed winner. However, every once in a while, a YouTube channel posts inappropriate content or something you might not like. If you understand what we are saying, we are sailing in the same boat.
In this post, we will discuss how to block YouTube channels.
Best Ways to Block YouTube Channels
Blocking YouTube Channel from Feed
If you don’t want to get recommendations from a specific channel in your YouTube feed, this method works for you. Here we will discuss how to block YourChannel from the web & phone.
Note: The changes made to YouTube using the following methods will reflect on your device where the same YouTube (Google) account is used.
Blocking YouTube Channel Web
To get started, follow the steps below:
- In your web browser, open the YouTube site you wish to block
- Search for the video you want to back.
- Next, hover over the video, click the three-dot menu, and select the Don’t Recommend channel.
Once the channel is blocked, you cannot unblock it individually. You can do this only when you are okay unblocking all blocked YouTube channels.
This is how you can stop unwanted YouTube channels from showing recommended videos in the feed section.
