How to Embed Disabled YouTube Videos
Embed videos YouTube disabled after you upload them to your account into external websites to ensure others are able to see the content. Several potential reasons for YouTube enabling videos exists, usually if the video contains copyrighted content. If you don't believe the video in fact violates the site's terms -- or if it does, you remove the portion of content YouTube doesn't want you to post -- it's possible to re-upload the video to YouTube, at which point you are able to share it freely.

Tips & Warnings
It isn't possible to reinstate a video that has been disabled within someone else's account, unless you own and have access to the original video and can upload it.
Don't re-upload a video that was removed for violating YouTube's terms of service without altering it to meet the site's terms of service. Doing so constitutes a secondary violation and may cause you to lose YouTube privileges altogether.
