YPP Application Review: Timeline, Appeals and When You Can Reapply

After you accept the partner terms and link an active AdSense for YouTube account, YouTube puts the channel in a review queue. According to the help page, automated systems and human reviewers look at the channel as a whole to check that it follows YouTube's policies and guidelines.

YouTube says it typically replies in about one month, and that delays are possible because of higher application volumes, system issues or resource limits. Applications are handled in the order they are received, and some channels need several reviews, especially when reviewers disagree.

The page gives a specific set of options. You can appeal the decision within 21 days. Or you can keep uploading original content and reapply after a 30-day period. If it is not your first rejection, or you have reapplied before, you can try again after a 90-day period.

YouTube adds that reviewers likely found that a significant portion of the channel does not currently follow its policies and guidelines, and suggests reviewing them against the channel before reapplying.

The policy that most often matters for automated channels is inauthentic content. Check whether videos or streams are repetitive or mass-produced, whether there is meaningful variation, and whether you are using other people's material without adding anything of your 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.

While you wait for a review, a running stream and a clear, varied playlist are the easiest things to keep in good shape. In YouCast you can build and reorder the playlist before the stream starts.

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