Observe the scope of the missing comments
Record whether comments are absent on one video or across several, and whether the result differs between your ordinary browser profiles. Restricted Mode is one documented explanation; it should not be assumed to explain every creator’s disabled comment section.
For a practical comparison, a viewer may see comments at home but not on a library computer. That difference can reflect the institution’s managed setting. Do not attempt to override an organisation’s policy; the relevant administrator can explain the restriction and any permitted next step.
Use the official restriction-status information
Google’s help points to a YouTube content-restrictions page that assesses account and administrator restrictions. It describes check marks identifying the relevant layer and notes that some mobile providers also apply content filtering. A password sign-in does not necessarily remove those controls.
For personal use, the help says Restricted Mode is normally browser or device specific, including separate browser profiles. Family Link can impose an account-level choice that the child cannot change. Keep those cases distinct rather than assuming one successful toggle applies everywhere.
Ask the controller of the relevant setting
If a managed network or supervised account is identified, contact its responsible administrator, parent or provider through the appropriate channel. If the restriction is your own preference, use the supported control according to your needs. This guide supplies no bypass method.
When seeking help, state the device, browser profile and restriction-status result without revealing account credentials or a child’s personal information. That is more useful than repeatedly reinstalling the app to restore comments. The article interprets Google’s official Restricted Mode documentation and includes no account-setting change, network inspection or comment-access test.
Questions about this guide
Can Restricted Mode hide comments?
Yes. Google explicitly documents that effect.
Will signing in always remove a managed restriction?
No. Network, provider or supervised-account controls may still apply.
