Frequently Asked Questions
How long does YPP approval take?
The review process typically takes about one month after meeting all requirements. YouTube manually reviews channels for policy compliance and content quality. During this time, they check your channel's content history, community guidelines compliance, and copyright status.
What counts as watch time?
Only public watch hours from the last 12 months count toward the 4,000-hour requirement. Private videos, Shorts views, and livestreams before becoming a partner don't contribute. Watch time from deleted videos or videos made private also gets removed from your total.
What happens if I lose eligibility?
If your channel falls below requirements for 2 consecutive months, monetization will be disabled until you meet the criteria again. You'll need to reapply to the program once you meet all requirements, but the review process is typically faster for returning creators.
Can I monetize content in any language?
Yes, YouTube accepts content in any language for monetization. However, you must follow local monetization policies and guidelines. Your channel needs to have complete and accurate translations for titles, descriptions, and closed captions if targeting multiple languages.
What content isn't eligible for monetization?
Content that violates Community Guidelines, contains excessive profanity, sensitive topics, copyrighted material, or controversial subjects may be ineligible. YouTube also restricts monetization for videos targeting children (falling under COPPA) and requires additional review for certain content types like gaming.
