Why does YouTube ask for my phone number?
We use the phone number to send you a verification code. Using phone numbers to verify identity is one way to protect our community and combat abuse. To access advanced features, you must first complete phone verification. We’ll send a verification code by text or voice call to that phone number. To verify your channel, you’ll be asked to enter a phone number.
In the ”Sound effects” tab, use the filters and search bar to find sound effects for your videos. In the Music tab, use the filters and search bar to find tracks for your videos. In the Audio Library in YouTube Studio, you can find royalty-free production music and sound effects to use in your videos. In this case, you are not yet eligible to receive a share of the revenue.
I used to like the classic spelling nameMay/name more but I’ve learned to love nameMae/name now. nameMay/name is a month and the name is gentle and sweet. nameMae/name is just…I don’t know, but it definitely lacks all of the beauty and fresh flowers that pop to mind when I think of the name nameMay/name. nameBoth/name are pretty but I’d go with nameMay/name, the y adds a sense of strength while the e just looks flimsy. nameMae/name does look pretty but like @naomi13 said, they’d just end up correcting people all of the time! Ok so lots of info in your post… You seem to like 2 syllable fresh sort of fun first names and name_fMae/name_f is your middle of choice S~ for a sn I agree avoid p names name_uHarper/name_u name_fMae/name_f I like best for you.
How you can become eligible
You may not be sure which format to save your video as or you may get an ”invalid file format” error message when you’re uploading. Audio files can only be uploaded as extra languages for your video. If you’re in the YouTube Partner Program, you can monetize videos with music and sound effects from the Audio Library. Keep in mind that if your video uses music with a Creative Commons license, the attribution info is still required in your video’s description. If you’re using a track with a Creative Commons license, you must credit the artist in your video’s description.

YouTube doesn’t have a tool to upload audio files, but you can try other video editing software. You can’t upload audio files to create a YouTube video.

Keep in mind we continuously check channels in YPP to make sure they continue to meet our policies and guidelines over time. If you want to upload your own videos, comment on videos, or create playlists, you can create a YouTube Channel at any time. If a channel is inactive and has not uploaded or posted posts for 6 months or more, YouTube reserves the right to remove its monetization.
After choosing how you want to monetize, you’ll be able to manage ad preferences, turn on monetization for your uploads, and more. Once you’re in YPP, get started in YouTube Studio with Watch Page Ads, Shorts Feed Ads, Memberships, Supers, Shopping, and more. If this isn’t your first application to be rejected, or you’ve previously re-applied, you can try again after a 90-day period. We’ll get back to you with a decision once your channel is reviewed (typically in about 1 month). Once done, you’ll see In Progress in the Get Reviewed step, which means we have your application!

Check back in the Earn section of YouTube Studio anytime to see the status of your application.

- A video from your channel that appears as a link in the Shorts player to help direct viewers from your Shorts to your other YouTube content.
- If you’re in the YouTube Partner Program, you can monetize videos with music and sound effects from the Audio Library.
- On a separate line, you can add the timestamp and explanation of your correction.
- Checks can take some time, but they run in the background, so you can return to the process later.
- Keep in mind delays are possible due to higher-than-usual application volumes, system issues, or resource limitations.
- We also make sure the phone number is linked to no more than 2 channels per year.
- Earning money on YouTube or receiving Shorts bonuses are a great way to be rewarded for good, engaging content on the platform.
