In this video I show you how to disable YouTube Shorts (or at least reduce them a lot) in 2025. I explain the main thing first: YouTube doesn’t give us a real “turn off Shorts” button, so the goal is to remove Shorts from your Home feed, stop them from showing up as much, and block them where possible. I keep it simple and step-by-step, so you can follow along even if you’re not techy. I cover the quick method to remove Shorts from the YouTube Home screen, then I go into what you can do on the mobile app (Android and iPhone) to minimize Shorts. After that, I show the desktop method using a browser extension trick to block Shorts more completely on PC/laptop. By the end, you’ll know what’s actually possible, what isn’t, and the best practical setup to keep Shorts from distracting you while you’re trying to watch normal videos.
