What YouTube Reviewers Check in a Monetization Channel Review

YouTube says that if you make money on YouTube, your content should be original and authentic: your own creation (borrowed content changed significantly) and not mass-produced, generic, repetitive or manipulative. It should be made for viewers' enjoyment or education rather than for the sole purpose of getting views.

Reviewers cannot watch every video, so the page says they may focus on specific parts of the channel.

On this page, YouTube uses the word video for Shorts, long-form videos and live streaming alike, and the policies apply wherever videos are viewed, including the watch page, the embedded player and the Shorts player. Content that violates the Community Guidelines is not eligible for monetization, and the guidelines apply to the channel overall, not only individual videos.

Our suggestion, based on the list above: make the About section explain what the channel is, make titles and thumbnails match what is actually streamed, and check that your most-watched and newest items would pass the originality test on their own.

YouCast turns the videos you upload into a 24/7 live stream that runs from the cloud, to YouTube and, with a stream key, to Twitch, Kick and Instagram, so there is no encoder to configure, no computer to keep awake and no home upload line to saturate.

Reviewers look at your main theme, top videos, titles and About section. In YouCast you control the stream title, description and thumbnail, so make them match what the stream actually shows.

You can try one stream on the free trial and add more streams as the channel grows.
