  • Never use music without their written permission or consent
  • Sometimes you need permission from all parties: songwriters, artists who created the melodies, record labels, etc and you also need to mention them in your content.

 

     3. Don’t use Copyright Content – The content which is made by someone else. Don’t copy any of the content from any user or website without their permission.

    4. Don’t post Content showing Illegal Activities – Don’t make content that shows harassment, abuse, violence, Police brutality, explosion, bombs etc.

    5. Keep your content safe for younger Audiences – Don’t show any content in your videos which can put a negative impact on younger audiences thinking. Examples: Don’t make Misleading family content that shows violence and sexual themes. Cyberbullying, Child Abuse, and Harassment of minors, all come when we talk about young audience safety.

    6.  Don’t do or stay away from Controversial issues – Don’t use controversial topics in your videos. YouTube defines controversy as “topics that may be unsettling” and “the result of human tragedy.” Examples: Topics like Self Harm, Suicide, Abuding Anyone or Child abuse these all come under controversial topics.

     7. Avoid Sensitive Topics Something which has happened recently or caused widespread suffering comes under the sensitive topic. Don’t use such content in your videos. This may ignite it more and harm it. Content focusing on death and despair isn’t pleasant to watch for users or the community. YouTube has no incentive to monetize such content, it may disable your channel as well.
