FAQ
What does a viewer from a blocked region see?
Viewers who click on content that is restricted in their locations will see an error and will not be able to view your content.
Can I apply multiple georestricting rules to my content?
Only one georestricting rule can be set for a property or a video. Furthermore, the global georestricting setting applies to all videos in the property except for those with their own georestricting rules.
