When do MPAA Film Ratings appear on YouTube?
When a movie in the YouTube Shows and Movies category has been issued a rating by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the rating is displayed under the video as well as in the YouTube player before the film begins. MPAA ratings include G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17. Access to movies rated 'R' and NC-17 are restricted to older audiences, and you must be signed into your YouTube account in order to watch them.
For more information and descriptions of each rating, visit the MPAA website.
