Once you qualify for the higher eligibility criteria for YPP, you will be eligible to receive a share of the revenue from ads served on your content. Learn more about steps you can take to strengthen your application for next time. Sometimes channels require multiple reviews, especially when several reviewers disagree on your channel’s suitability for YPP.
Keep in mind we continuously check channels in YPP to make sure they continue to meet our policies and guidelines over time. If you want to upload your own videos, comment on videos, or create playlists, you can create a YouTube Channel at any time. If a channel is inactive and has not uploaded or posted posts for 6 months or more, YouTube reserves the right to remove its monetization.
Only channels that follow our YouTube channel monetization policies may be able to monetize. You can view this article for the YPP overview, eligibility, and application instructions relevant to you. If you’re not in one of the countries/regions above, there are no changes to the YouTube Partner Program for you. Post to the help community Get answers from community members

Ways to make money in the YouTube Partner Program
Likeness detection does a one-time scan of your video for enrolled creators’ faces that may have been altered or AI-generated. Checks can take some time, but they run in the background, so you can return to the process later. Checks help you fix issues before your video is published. Use the Checks page to screen your video for copyright issues. Your video must be 25 seconds or longer to add an end screen. Add cards and end screens to show your audience related videos, websites, and calls to action.

- We’ll get back to you with a decision once your channel is reviewed (typically in about 1 month).
- If a channel is inactive and has not uploaded or posted posts for 6 months or more, YouTube reserves the right to remove its monetization.

You may not be sure which format to save your video as or you may get an “invalid file format” error message when you’re uploading. Audio files can only be uploaded as extra languages for your video. If you’re in the YouTube Partner Program, you can monetize videos with music and sound effects from the Audio Library. Keep in mind that if your video uses music with a Creative Commons license, the attribution info is still required in your video’s description. If you’re using a track with a Creative Commons license, you must credit the artist in your video’s description.
