Quick tip: if you do a vertical live stream, only the watch time provided after the video is public on your channel counts. If you do a horizontal/landscape live stream, this will also count towards watch time hours whether it’s watch time from being live or published after the fact!
@@maplove113 Yeah, I think you need to go to the TH-cam website (which is meant for pc) in order to be able to do a regular live stream instead of a vertical live stream, which I think vertical streams can only be made through a mobile device

You know the 10000 hour rule, practice until you master a skill? I believe watched hours is a similar principle, but in reality it's 4000 - 6000 hours to get really good at something. The 4000 hrs just signals that you know what you're doing to capture the audience attention. And they reward you for that. Keep practicing until you hit it! 💪💪
I used to think 4k watched hours was a dream. over the last 3 weeks I've pulled in over 8.5k watched hours on ONE VIDEO. it's not viral, but it's the video that got me over 1k subs as well. now to get monetised.
@@NarcissistHex-nf9eq that's a question I can't answer - you'd have to ask someone that controls the gears at youtube. but like everyone who's an 'expert' at this stuff recommends - have a good thumbnail, don't clickbait, have a good title and deliver on your video promise within the first few seconds.
Shorts watch time does not count for monetization or I would have been monetized long ago. You can only be monetized from shorts by getting 10 million views in the last 90 days

I swear to god, when so many TH-camrs became very creative and all TH-cam made his rules and algorithms more difficult for small TH-camrs. I have been struggling to get monetised for the past 4 years
Don't know think you have to start source out the things that's tough for you to do it everyday. Like capcut thumbnails don't really know how but if you make good contents people will start to follow you. I Don't have my set contents yet
It’s so hard to get monetized I have over 800 videos and still can’t reach the 4000 public watch hours so I give up and just post my video for fun and just keep creating and sharing my content with my followers they Rock! 👍😎🤘🙏
Way back when, a song came out ‘In The Year 2525’. But this is a hobby for me. I enjoy recording and posting videos. Just because I become eligible for monitization, doesn’t mean that I have to apply. At the rate I’m going, I will be eligible for monitization in the year 2525.
i htink u should need public watch hours for shorts to get monotized instead of views but id say maybe 25,000 over 12 months since its easier to get views
I reached 1000 subs this week but I am only half way done to 4000 hours. If anyone watching this, pls suggest me the game that will get lot of views/watch time
Started my TH-cam journey two weeks ago and currently at 456 subscribers I’m really excited and to all of us small channels let’s keep uploading videos ,we can do it’good luck guys 👍
My issue has always been watch hours! It's so frustrating at times and can never seem to get past the blockage of it! Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I always force myself to continue!
Tbh I checked your channel and I really don’t know what your channel is about, find a niche and stick to it Your videos are set to made for kids , which literally turns of comments on your videos
@@Shanzah_zuharah so a niche is basically what your videos are about, all your videos should have a purpose. Just like vid iq makes videos about how to grow a TH-cam channel
@@Shanzah_zuharah okay so start with your thumbnails , design thumbnails that will get people to click on your videos.. You can check other vlogs and how they create their thumbnail’s
BRO, can anyone help me I have never had this problem before and this is the first time. Every time I try to upload a short now it disappears and I can't find it anywhere on my channel. Not at scheduled, NOT anywhere. Why does the short just disappear?
I have been trying to get monetized on TH-cam since graduating high school back in 2022, and I have had my ups and downs. I am currently at 1,054 watch hours over the past year.
I find watch hours less of a problem towards monetisation than subscriber count because you can have a lucky video go viral but it doesn’t mean people would subscribe
TH-cam monetization back then is great. 1K subs and 4K watch hours (including shorts). It was easy to get in the YPP. Now it's so hard to get in, why they want to make it so hard to apply?!
What about if I have (5) copyright (content ID) videos out of 230 total...?! I'm thinking they don't want any copyright issues so...I'm thinking about deleting.. Hopefully the date is still stored / counted.
Brother, I just want to ask. If my content has copyright claim but isn't a strike because the owner allows it, will it count in the required watch hours? I can't seem to find an answer and I already have 150+ watch hours with "owner allowed copyright" from their musics. Hoping you can clarify these things to me. God Bless to you! ❤
Bro can you help me contact TH-cam about Watch Hours?? 🙏🏿 My watch hours aren't being added correctly. I've tried to find a chat or email address to contact someone at TH-cam about this for months
Question?... if 11 months ago I had 2000 watch hours in that month and now I have a total of 4500 watch hours, 2 months from now when that months falls off the calculation and my watch hours fall below the 4000 watch hours... Does the channel get demonized, or once you hit that marker you remain monetized???
So does this mean if I watch 30 mins from one video on a channel and watch a different 30 minute video on the same channel that would equate to 1 watch hour?
I have a very important question and I need the solution! How can you have a very high quality when using a custom thumbnail since your uploading the video on TH-cam on your phone and then fixing the custom thumbnail?
I just got accepted into the first stage of the YT Partner Program today! . I have 1000 subs but I'm still 990 left before 4000 watchtime hours. My viral video from 13 months ago is eroding current watch time as it drops away from being counted. Any tips to get watch time hours quickly? (apart from magic up another viral video)
i just hit a 1k subs, and now i'm only 300 watch hours left toward monetization. wish me luck guys ❤
Congratulations!! You will hit that in no time!❤❤❤
You've got this!

We should convince TH-cam to count watch hours on shorts too and not just views. Watch hours
they do
