Monetization is disabled for my channel

As of April 6, 2017, channels that have fewer than 10,000 views cannot run ads on their videos. Learn more about recent changes to the YouTube Partner Program on the YouTube Creator Blog.

If monetization is disabled for your YouTube channel, it could be for several reasons. Any of these actions could result in suspension of payments:

• Attempting monetization of videos you don't own. If you're not sure if you have the right to upload the content, check the Copyright FAQ and make sure you know how fair use works.
• Attempting monetization of videos that don't meet monetization criteria.
• Violations of AdSense Program Policies orYouTube Terms of Service
