YouTube can now turn off monetization of videos before they are published

YouTube is launching Checks, a feature that can spot copyright violations in a video even before it's published. In just a few minutes, a creator can therefore have their monetization withdrawn if they have not complied with the regulations in force. However, it is possible to post the video before the verification is complete and to challenge the penalties.

 Monetization is a hot topic on YouTube, with restrictive measures that have become more stringent over time. The platform insists that its creators comply to the letter with the regulations on copyright , under penalty of more or less serious sanction. Through a new feature, called "  Checks  ", this control is once again reinforced. Indeed, YouTube is now able to identify videos that violate copyrighted copyright even before their publication .

Checks is the last step for the creator before posting their content. It is still quite possible to broadcast this before the end of the process , but the verification continues its course until its diagnosis is completed. Thus, some videos can be demonetized a few minutes after their publication. In total, the system takes 4 minutes to verify that the content is within Google standards . Only 3 minutes are needed to spot copyright infringements.

YOUTUBE NO LONGER WANTS CREATORS TO INFRINGE COPYRIGHT

By means of this new functionality, Google wants to  "reduce the number of videos published containing an infringement of copyright […] and avoid unpleasant surprises". Checks allows creators to directly view the passage of their video that poses a problem. The window then indicates what action can be taken to reactivate the monetization .
