Community Guidelines
Our Community Guidelines define what we do and don’t allow on YouTube. They exist so that we can protect the community from things such as harmful content, harassment, and spam. They apply to everyone, and to all types of content on YouTube - such as videos, comments, links, and thumbnails.
Copyright
We have developed a set of resources to help Creators understand copyright, protect their own copyrighted content, and avoid violating copyright laws.
Monetization policies
The YouTube Partner Program empowers Creators to make money through their channels. To become a YouTube Partner, Creators must follow our monetization policies. These policies are intended to reward Creators who contribute positively to the community with original content. Eligible Creators who want to monetize their content by running advertisements need to follow our Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines in addition to our broader Monetization Policies.
Legal removals
Since YouTube is available across the world, we have processes in place to comply with local law.
