Following application, YouTube’s review team ensures the channel has not run afoul of YouTube’s monetization, content, and copyright policies. Only channels that meet eligibility thresholds and follow all of our guidelines will be admitted to the program, which makes them eligible to receive access to ads and other monetization products.</p> <p class="md md-p" md-node-state="empty"><div class="ytr-resources lb-padding-top-s lb-margin-top-m lb-margin-bottom-m"> <div class="ytr-resources-grid"> <div class="ytr-resources-grid__cell ytr-resources-grid__cell--span-2"> <h3 class="lb-margin-bottom-xs"> <span class="lb-font-weight-600 lb-font-subhead"> Resources </span> </h3> <ul> <li class="lb-font-paragraph lb-margin-top-s"> <div class="lb-margin-top-xs lb-font-paragraph ytr-button"> <a class="ytr-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20231007132452/https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/72851?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Learn more about YouTube Partner Program Eligibility <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 24 24" fill="#065fd4"><path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"/><path d="M19 19H5V5h7V3H5a2 2 0 00-2 2v14a2 2 0 002 2h14c1.1 0 2-.9 2-2v-7h-2v7zM14 3v2h3.59l-9.83 9.83 1.41 1.41L19 6.41V10h2V3h-7z"/></svg> </a> </div> </li> <li class="lb-font-paragraph lb-margin-top-s"> <div class="lb-margin-top-xs lb-font-paragraph ytr-button"> <a class="ytr-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20231007132452/https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1311392?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Learn more about YouTube channel monetization policies <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 24 24" fill="#065fd4"><path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"/><path d="M19 19H5V5h7V3H5a2 2 0 00-2 2v14a2 2 0 002 2h14c1.1 0 2-.9 2-2v-7h-2v7zM14 3v2h3.59l-9.83 9.83 1.41 1.41L19 6.41V10h2V3h-7z"/></svg> </a> </div> </li> <li class="lb-font-paragraph lb-margin-top-s"> <div class="lb-margin-top-xs lb-font-paragraph ytr-button"> <a class="ytr-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20231007132452/https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9962575?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow"> Learn more about how data helps creators track their performance on YouTube <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 24 24" fill="#065fd4"><path d="M0 0h24v24H0z" fill="none"/><path d="M19 19H5V5h7V3H5a2 2 0 00-2 2v14a2 2 0 002 2h14c1.1 0 2-.9 2-2v-7h-2v7zM14 3v2h3.59l-9.83 9.83 1.41 1.41L19 6.41V10h2V3h-7z"/></svg> </a> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div></p> </div> <div class="ytr-article__content ytr-js-tabs-content-block lb-hide" id="advertising-policies"> <h2 class="md md-h2">Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines</h2> <p class="md md-p">Just because a Creator is in YPP, it doesn’t mean all videos on their channel will be eligible to have ads.
