This wikiHow teaches you how to change the source country of the content you can watch on YouTube. You can change your country options through the desktop version of YouTube and the mobile app. Changes to the location of content on YouTube may make some videos unavailable in your home area. If you want to access videos that are not available for your area, use a proxy service instead of changing the country of origin on YouTube.
