YouTube availability, recommendations and pre-roll ads are all decided by the viewer's country. Availability checks and ad verification therefore need exits in the markets you report on.
Metadata collection is light, but anything touching playback is heavy, so plan the workload before picking a plan.
The three things that break YouTube jobs
Geo restrictions
Country targeting decides availability and recommendations.
Playback bandwidth
Metadata is cheap, playback is not. Keep them on separate plans if you do both.

YouTube proxy questions
- Can I check if a video is blocked in a country?
- Yes. Request the page through an exit in that country and read the availability response.
- Which plan for playback tests?
- Unlimited Residential. Playback burns bandwidth quickly on per-GB plans.
