0:02YouTube has released a series of
0:04updates to the requirements for
0:06monetizing and continuing to monetize,
0:09which will begin to apply starting
0:11January 1st, 2027. Before you get
0:15scared, YouTube has already stated that
0:18if you are currently monetizing or
0:20manage to monetize within this year,
0:232026, almost nothing changes for you.
0:27But that "almost nothing" is precisely
0:30the subject of this video: ad
0:33monetization on Shorts videos. If you
0:42have ad monetization active for your
0:45Shorts videos, YouTube, in its infinite
0:48wisdom, will require you to maintain a
0:51minimum of 10 million valid public
0:54views for YouTube in your last 90 days
0:57in order to collect revenue. YouTube
1:02will evaluate this figure month by
1:05month. If in that month you do not
1:09reach that threshold for the period
1:11being evaluated—and I repeat, 10
1:14million views on your Shorts videos in
1:16your recent 90 days—you will not get
1:19paid that month and will lose ad
1:22monetization on Shorts. Before you
1:27panic, YouTube also clarifies that it
1:29doesn't matter if you lose ad
1:32monetization on Shorts; this does not
1:34affect ads on your long-form videos,
1:37nor memberships, donations like Super
1:40Chat, gifts, or shopping features,
1:42which will not be affected at all. Even
1:48within Shorts themselves, monetization
1:50options like donations and shopping
1:52will continue to work as always, and
1:53you will continue to receive money
1:55through those channels. With this, you
1:58are likely asking yourself the
2:00following quite valid questions. What
2:02happens if I do reach the required goal
2:04the following month? Do I have to
2:07re-apply for the Shorts monetization
2:09program? Can I collect that money
2:12accumulated from views during the month
2:15I couldn't get paid, provided I hit the
2:17goal the following month, and so on?
2:21Unfortunately, as of today, August 10th
2:23, 2026, YouTube has not answered any of
2:26these questions, neither in their help
2:29center nor in their official videos
2:31published on this topic. The help
2:36documentation regarding Shorts
2:38monetization is not even updated. So,
2:41when there is a real update that at
2:44least answers these valid questions, I
2:46will share them as my personal opinion.
2:50This measure will now lead me to stop
2:52making Shorts videos entirely. Not even
2:56at the channel's best moment have I
2:58reached one million views in 90 days. I
3:01am certainly not going to dream of 10
3:03million views in 3 months. So, circling
3:06back, remember that these changes begin
3:09to apply starting February 1st, 2027.
3:13There are other very important updates
3:15that I will talk about in upcoming
3:17videos. As always, everyone stay very,
3:21very calm. First, this will affect all
3:27channels that are currently monetizing
3:29or those that monetize through 2026.
3:34All of these channels will be required
3:37to accept the new YouTube Partner
3:39Program terms of service, as well as
3:41modifications to the module contracts.
3:45The deadline to accept these new terms
3:50is January 31, 2027, as the new
3:54monetization requirements and terms go
3:59into effect starting February 1, 2027.
4:05If you do not accept these contracts
4:08and terms, YouTube says you may no
4:10longer monetize that module, or you
4:12might not be accepted as a YouTube
4:15partner at all, which would mean no
4:17monetization for your entire channel.
4:21So, the recommendation is to accept all
4:24terms and modifications for the
4:27different modules that the platform
4:30requests. I mention these modules
4:33because YouTube itself explains that,
4:36since monetization programs have been
4:38divided into different modules with
4:41their own contracts for some time,
4:43there will be new ways to monetize in
4:45the future that will merge with other
4:48modules. These modules will also change
4:52names and so on. Even the date you
4:56accepted the previous contract may lead
5:00YouTube, in some cases, to ask you for
5:04a new contract for a specific module or
5:08perhaps for several different modules
5:12when the notification appears.
5:17Therefore, to keep things simple, just
5:19accept everything YouTube asks you to
5:22accept regarding monetization. Of
5:25course, the important thing is to
5:27accept the terms of service and then
5:29accept the contracts for the modules
5:31you are interested in monetizing. Very
5:35importantly, these terms must only be
5:38accepted within YouTube Studio itself,
5:41whether from a computer or a mobile
5:43device. Please ignore any email asking
5:49you to click on links inside that email
5:52. You must not do that under any
5:54circumstances. Everything is accepted
5:57within YouTube Studio itself, where the
5:59corresponding notifications will appear
6:01. So don't worry, we have until January
6:0631 for that notification to appear, for
6:09you to accept the terms of service with
6:11their respective module variants, and
6:14thus avoid these problems. Those who
6:18are already monetizing in 2027,
6:21especially after February 1 of that
6:24year, will already have the updated
6:28modules, contracts, and, of course,
6:31some new, very rich requirements that
6:34we will see in another video, so don't
6:38be scared when you see the terms of
6:41service. As always, be patient. As many
6:46of you may already know, YouTube is
6:48making several changes to its
6:50monetization rules and requirements
6:52that will apply in 2027. We have
6:54already discussed several important
6:56points in other videos. Today we will
6:58look at what YouTube now considers an
7:00active channel and, of course, an
7:02inactive channel which will have
7:04consequences. This is important because
7:08YouTube says that if, starting February
7:111, 2027, the platform considers your
7:14channel inactive, it may demonetize it.
7:18It should be clarified that
7:20demonetization due to inactivity has
7:22always existed on the platform, but it
7:23was previously applied at YouTube's
7:25discretion. Some channels were affected
7:28and others were not. However,
7:31considering how YouTube is now applying
7:34infractions like the circumvention
7:36policy, it seems they will now also
7:38enforce this rule. With all this in
7:42mind, what is the minimum activity
7:44YouTube will require so we are not
7:46considered an inactive channel? To do
7:50this, you must meet at least one of the
7:53following options. That is, it is not
7:56mandatory to meet all of them, only one
7:59of these two options. Let's start with
8:02the easiest one to understand. Option
8:04one: upload at least two long-form
8:07videos or five Shorts in your last 90
8:10days at a minimum. As you can see, this
8:14should be very easy to meet and thereby
8:16prevent your channel from being
8:18considered inactive. But if for some
8:21reason you cannot upload videos every
8:2490 days, then you have option two:
8:26maintain a minimum of public
8:28interactions in the following type of
8:31content. If you upload long-form videos
8:36—and with long-form videos we also
8:38include streams—you must continue to
8:41accumulate at least 1,000 hours of
8:44watch time in your last 365 days.
8:47Remember that we are not talking about
8:49a calendar year, but we count from the
8:52current date to 365 days ago. Now, if
8:57you actually dedicate yourself to
8:59making Shorts or consider that you can
9:02meet the requirements with the Shorts
9:04format, then if you focus on that, you
9:06must maintain at least 1 million valid
9:09public views. And by valid, we refer to
9:13interested views, which are different
9:15from the view that YouTube currently
9:17counts. Video about the differences
9:20here. And again, within your recent 90
9:24days. I clarify again. You do not need
9:27to meet the interactions for your
9:29Shorts and at the same time the
9:31interactions for your long-form videos.
9:34At this point, only one of those two.
9:37And if you cannot meet those two by
9:39uploading videos, as I mentioned in
9:41option number one. For many this will
9:44seem easy, but there are several
9:46creators who, for various reasons,
9:47abandon their channels for months. That
9:50is why it is important to know these
9:52minimums so you don't lose your
9:54monetization. These rules go into
9:58effect starting February 1st, 2027, so
10:00as always, be very careful. By now,
10:06most of you have probably heard the
10:08news. The requirements for monetizing
10:12with ads on YouTube change starting
10:14February 1st, 2027. But anyway, I am
10:18just now making a video on the subject,
10:19which will serve as a record for my
10:21channel. Well, let’s start with the
10:23most important part. First, this
10:26increase only applies to ad
10:28monetization on your long-form videos
10:31and Shorts. The ways to monetize
10:35through donations, memberships,
10:36shopping, and the option to be a
10:38YouTube partner with lower requirements
10:40. All of that remains exactly the same,
10:44and nothing changes. Secondly, if your
10:49channel is already monetizing with ads
10:51right now, this update does not affect
10:54you at all. You won't lose your
10:57monetization, and you won't have to
10:59meet the new requirements next year.
11:02The rule applies only to those looking
11:05to monetize starting February 1st, 2027
11:08. Keeping all that in mind, the new
11:12requirements to activate ad
11:14monetization will be the following. The
11:17number of subscribers remains at a
11:19minimum of 1,000 subscribers; it
11:21doesn't change at all. Now, for the
11:24following requirements, you only need
11:26to complete one of the two, not both;
11:28they are optional. The first option:
11:32watch time on your long-form videos.
11:35Previously, the requirement asked for
11:384,000 hours, and now it will ask for
11:418,000 hours of watch time in your
11:44recent 365 days. Remember that this is
11:49not video views, but the accumulated
11:52time users spend watching your content.
11:56If you don't want to complete this
11:58watch time option, you have the other
12:01option, which is views on Shorts. Here
12:04we go from 10 million to having to
12:08complete 20 million views on your
12:12Shorts in your recent 90 days. I
12:16emphasize: you only need to meet one of
12:19the two options, either watch time or
12:22Shorts views, not both. By completing
12:26either one, you will be able to enable
12:29paid ad monetization across all your
12:32video formats. Without a doubt, this
12:34will make monetization very difficult
12:36for new YouTubers, but these are the
12:38requirements YouTube is imposing. This
12:40just begins starting February 1st, 2027
12:44. As always, have a lot of patience.
12:49This video is part of the series about
12:51the monetization updates that YouTube
12:53will apply in the year 2027. We have
12:56already reviewed the new requirements
12:59to monetize, the new rule to maintain
13:01Shorts revenue, and what the platform
13:03now considers an inactive channel.
13:05Today we will look at what YouTube has
13:08promised as new income for YouTubers,
13:10although for me, honestly, many of
13:12these are just wishful thinking and
13:14some lean into a scam, and it is
13:16exactly with this one that I want to
13:18start. Expansion of YouTube Premium
13:20Lite. This is a more affordable version
13:23of YouTube Premium that would arrive in
13:25all countries where the full premium
13:27version is already available. Here you
13:30might ask, "Hey, what does that have to
13:32do with creators earning more money or
13:34with monetization?" Well, I am going to
13:38read to you what YouTube itself says in
13:40its help center about this point.
13:43Creators earn more per user with
13:46Premium than with ads on videos. Well,
13:50the experience for most is that we earn
13:52practically pennies with YouTube
13:54Premium. YouTube's theory is that by
13:57being a cheaper plan, there will be
13:59more subscribers, and that will
14:01increase earnings through volume. In
14:04summary, this sounds more like a
14:06marketing strategy than real help for
14:09the platform's creators. Point two,
14:12bonuses and incentives for Shorts. We
14:15must remember that by February 1st,
14:172027, you will be required to maintain
14:2010 million views in your recent 90 days
14:22on your video Shorts to collect the
14:25money generated by your own video
14:27Shorts. To compensate for this
14:31requirement, YouTube, in its infinite
14:33mercy, proposes two incentives. First,
14:37targeted ads. You should know two
14:39things. First, the ads do not belong to
14:43YouTube, but to an advertiser who can
14:45configure the ads however they want
14:47because they are paying for that. And
14:50two, the ads that appear in the video
14:53Shorts feed. That ad does not belong to
14:58the video Short that comes after said
15:00ad, nor did it belong to the video
15:03Short before that ad, rather, the way
15:05of monetization on video Shorts is
15:08practically a cooperative. On the
15:11channel, I have an entire video of
15:13almost 20 minutes talking about this
15:15topic because it is the most complex
15:17thing YouTube has. But keeping these
15:20two considerations in mind, when
15:23YouTube refers to targeting ads, it is
15:26when an advertiser, in their own Google
15:29Ads configuration—which is the
15:31platform where ads are bought and
15:34configured—decides to place their ads
15:37specifically on your video Shorts. If
15:41that happens, YouTube will no longer
15:44apply the normal revenue sharing on
15:46video Shorts, which as I mentioned is
15:48like a cooperative, but will apply the
15:51same revenue sharing it applies to ads
15:53on long-form videos. Well, a little bit
15:56lower, which is 45%for you and the rest
15:59for YouTube and to pay for copyright.
16:01Second, bonuses for YouTube Shopping
16:03and affiliates. YouTube is promising
16:07rewards for enabling Shopping
16:09monetization on your channel,
16:11especially for your Shorts and using
16:13product tagging, selling affiliate
16:15products, and so on. In addition,
16:19YouTube will look to connect you with
16:21brands so you can run advertising
16:22campaigns selling their products. These
16:26two points I mentioned regarding video
16:28Shorts are all the information we have
16:31as of the day this video was published.
16:35There are no requirements, we don't
16:36know which countries it will be
16:38available in, nor the revenue share,
16:39nor what that type of bonus will be
16:41like, nothing, nor when it will be
16:43available. For now, these are just good
16:46wishes for 2027. And unfortunately,
16:49that is all. I would have liked for
16:52these to be monetization programs that
16:54could be within everyone's reach, but
16:56it seems that won't be the case. I hope
16:58that changes. First, for YouTube, this
17:04new feature called Stations is still an
17:06experiment, although it is already a
17:08global experiment, but it will only be
17:10available to creators selected by
17:12YouTube itself. What is it about?
17:16You've surely seen channels that stream
17:18live 24 hours a day, and until now, to
17:21do that, you needed streaming software
17:23and the knowledge, of course, to handle
17:26those settings; but with the new
17:28Stations feature, all that changes and
17:31becomes easy by now being a native
17:33YouTube function. You will only have to
17:38create or select a playlist with your
17:40videos, and in the near future, videos
17:43from other channels, and thus you will
17:46create a native stream that YouTube
17:48will loop every 24 hours for 7 days,
17:50that is, a permanent stream. But most
17:55importantly, YouTube will create an
17:56exclusive section on YouTube to
17:58highlight these broadcasts, giving them
18:00greater visibility. YouTube seeks to
18:03recreate the continuous programming of
18:06television and establish itself as the
18:08new global television. For now, and as
18:11I mentioned, it is an experiment and we
18:14don't have images of what this setup
18:16might look like or how these streams
18:18will appear, so patience and good luck.
18:24First, this update is for all channels
18:26on the platform, whether they monetize
18:28or not, but as always happens with new
18:30features. The update may take time to
18:32roll out to everyone, but it will
18:34arrive sooner or later. Let's review
18:37the two key changes for the claims
18:39system within YouTube Studio. Change
18:42one: from copyright to claims. Here we
18:47are talking about the copyright tab we
18:49found inside the video details; that is
18:52, we enter the video we want to see
18:54that tab in, and on the left side,
18:56there used to be what was called the
18:58copyright tab. This is now being
19:02renamed the claims tab. Why this change
19:05? If you follow this channel, you'll
19:08know that YouTube allows you to request
19:10the removal of videos if someone uses
19:12your likeness without permission to
19:14generate AI content. This is handled as
19:18a privacy claim. Currently, any
19:22YouTuber can make this claim using
19:24YouTube's own likeness tools, although
19:27to use them, you must send your
19:29biometric information to Google. And
19:34here we are talking about a video
19:35recording of your face and official
19:37documents. But getting back to it,
19:41since these unauthorized AI likeness
19:43claims don't fully fit the traditional
19:46concept of copyright, YouTube decided
19:49to rename the section with a more
19:51general term, so it will simply be
19:53called the claims tab. Change two, new
19:57appeal options. The second change
20:00brings new alternatives for appealing.
20:04If your video receives a privacy or
20:06likeness claim for AI content, you now
20:09have three specific options to defend
20:12yourself. One, parody or satire context
20:16. You can choose this option to argue
20:20that you have used another person's
20:22likeness under the framework of parody
20:25or satire. In these cases, prior
20:28authorization is not required to use
20:30said person's likeness. However, be
20:34very careful, because the line between
20:37satire or parody and insulting or
20:39denigrating a person is very thin, and
20:42YouTube's AI reviewer is not very
20:44precise. Two, permission via contract.
20:49You can appeal that claim by proving
20:51you have a contract or authorization
20:54signed by the person whose image you
20:56are using in your content. And three,
21:00it was a mistake. You can select this
21:03option if you believe the algorithm
21:05made an obvious error and the person
21:07appearing in your video has no relation
21:10to the claimant. A point to keep in
21:14mind: YouTube has already confirmed
21:16that soon it will also be possible to
21:19make claims for voice cloning using
21:22artificial intelligence. This is not
21:24active yet, but it is something that
21:27will definitely arrive for everyone one
21:29day. In summary, the copyright tab is
21:32now called claims to be more inclusive.
21:36With the new claim types, we now have
21:39specific tools to appeal privacy claims
21:42involving artificial intelligence.
21:46These updates will arrive sooner or
21:48later for all channels, so as always,
21:51be very careful. Starting today,
21:56YouTube is changing how it counts views
21:58across all its video formats. Well, it
22:02already applied this to Shorts, but to
22:04understand it simply, there are now two
22:07ways that views are counted. The common
22:11view, or the view count that appears
22:13next to your video, which is this,
22:15versus what is now called an interested
22:17view. And it is this interested view
22:21that you should really care about. From
22:25this moment on, it will be enough for a
22:28video to play for one second or even
22:31less for the YouTube system to count it
22:34as a common view. Even in the latest
22:39video from the official YouTube channel
22:41, they clarify that it also counts if
22:44you are browsing the YouTube homepage
22:46and hover your mouse over a thumbnail
22:49so it plays. That single playback is
22:53enough for it to be counted as a view.
22:57Here I repeat and reaffirm what I said
23:00in my videos when this update was
23:02released. This change only helps
23:06YouTube inflate global metrics for
23:08advertisers and shareholders to say how
23:11successful they are by the number of
23:13views they are getting, and it is not a
23:16real benefit for creators or even for
23:19the platform's users. Therefore, from
23:23now on, I recommend that you focus on
23:26what is called the interested view,
23:29which is also hidden, because for now,
23:32you will only be able to find it on
23:35long-form videos, in the statistics of
23:38each video in advanced mode, and we
23:41hope this changes in the future. Why is
23:44this interested view so important?
23:47Because it is what the YouTube
23:49recommendation system actually analyzes
23:51to see if your video is satisfactory to
23:54users, thus being an important factor
23:56in potentially recommending your
23:58content. Likewise, this metric will be
24:03used for revenue sharing, calculating
24:05monetization requirements, and so on.
24:09Everything important, all the
24:11calculations you make regarding
24:13monetization, interaction, and the
24:15importance of your channel, you should
24:18base on this interested view metric,
24:20not the common view. To understand it,
24:24just because you have more,
24:25quote-unquote, common views, does not
24:27mean that the YouTube system will
24:29improve your recommendations because of
24:31that. Because the YouTube system is
