I wish more people knew about the playlist thing. I had two music playlists false flagged and removed because they were "inappropriate for kids". Their ability to strike you for doing nothing more than saving other people's videos is beyond unacceptable.
You're fired. It's a bummer when you have little control over such a *HUGE* diktration It's the same with all social interaction on the net. Follow all the rules and don't speak until spoken to. IMO, as soon as any media hits the airwaves, it's fair game to anything. Otherwise keep it to yourself. After all, We're talking about "fair" Which doesn't exist in any part of life.

I heard before that the copyright supposedly isn't applicable if you use like only 5 seconds of a music track. Glad to learn that apparently this isn't the case, and is only a widespread myth.
Hello! Thanks For the Video but I have a little question. Can I reupload my own Video? I mean I want to delete some old videos of mine which is not getting views anymore then reupload it now so I can gain views for. My new subscribers. Is it legal or risky? Hoping for your response thank u
TH-cam doesn’t like that because from their perspective you’re trying to game the system. Instead, it’s recommended you share them in your community feed so new subs can see them if that’s the goal.
Background is pretty cool. Your so engaging when you speak though that focus is usually always on. You can have a zebra walk behind you and I probably wouldn't even notice it. 😂
I never notice the background until you mentioned it and that's impressive how non-distracting it is especially being deaf. Also, thank you for having CC. You rock!
When I saw the tip about “Not putting other TH-camrs in your tags”, I started freaking out because I had done that once, and immediately went to TH-cam Studio to change it. Thank you!
I have seen loads of subscribers taging those who are very successful youtubers or are doing well. Some times as many as 10 people at a time. It is like using their names to get views. I have never done that and will not use someone to climb the ladder.
Even after 2 years, this content remains incredibly relevant. Every time I tune into your channel, I find myself mentally quoting Denzel, with his iconic 'My Man. It's like the words have taken up residence in my head! Your channel's impact endures, keeping me engaged and entertained. Thank you for continuing to create such timeless content.
In my opinion I think TH-cam should just leave content creators alone and let them have fun on their platform as long as it's legal content. Deleting someone's channel entirely is an over exaggeration, and these 4 issues you've pointed out can be dealt with in a more humane manner then to just unperson them. Although, since TH-cam has become the grim reaper of free speech, I honestly don't expect anything less from them. Nice video! And background was distracting to the eyes but not the ears.
@peachymilk Brother i’m stuck with my viewers whom their comments on my channel get deleted for no reason and i know that because i can see their comments and they are completely harmless and they don’t share a link or spam comment and their comment gets deleted!! I don’t want that to happen I want comments to stay but I can’t find help on how to fix it!!
That solely depends on what the content of the video is. In most cases You Tube gives you strikes before they delete your channel. As for when it comes to creation of video's, Google are paying for the servers that are running You Tube and therefore we are obligated to follow their rules. We may not like it, it is just how it is. You Tube has a very difficult task of keeping the advertisers, the government and us creators happy at the same time. I do not envy You Tube CEO's job. You Tube is far from perfect but I believe that their are great people working at Google that will improve You Tube as time goes on and hopefully the guidelines and ways of making content will improve. To answer your comment You Tube does not just delete your channel they do however give you a strike depending on the violation. If you feel they unfairly gave you a strike you can always file a dispute. I would advise getting a lawyer's advise when doing that. I am not a lawyer. My point in all of this is that TH-cam is not a perfect platform and that you channel do not just get deleted their are channels that need to go through before that happens and I do not think that TH-cam will intervene if deem it necessary.
This just my opinion, I do not work for the company. I would like to say that I do agree with you that and I do wish that their were less severe consequences maybe like limiting your channel view rate for first time offenders. I am open for a debate on this subject.
@@magnetarattractions278 It is very easy to criticize when you are not the one in their shoes. How would you feel if the table is turned? I fully believe that a person should look from both sides. So yeah, maybe I am a fanboy, TH-cam gave millions of people the ability to express themselves and many to make a living off the platform. With a ton of free content as well opportunity to learn for free. I see no shame in that. .
thank you so much Nick, unfortunately my friend's channel got terminated because he used to put tags in description of his videos. I'm glad I learned about this as early as possible.
I occasionally want to watch my own videos. My channel is monetised and I have a premium TH-cam. Am I able to watch my own videos without TH-cam thinking I’m trying to make money for myself?
If you are watching for a valid reason, TH-cam will account for that. If you repeatedly watch the same videos, they will 100% disregard all the views and watch time, etc.
@Nick Nimmin thank you for replying 🥰 I don’t even need any of the watchtime or views to be counted from when I watch it. Just wondering if TH-cam might think I’m trying to make money from the ads that I don’t actually see because I got TH-cam Premium
@@NickNimmin I do the same thing as @Gatis Kandis, especially when I've accidentally deleted the original video from my device and I want to watch it again. I assumed TH-cam would know when its me watching my own videos and EXCLUDE that from the count.
Really great information. I need to make an update on my channel based on one piece of information you shared...appreciate that. Regarding the use of music that you do not have rights to. In most cases the copyright owner will just issue a copyright claim on your video and all ad revenue or partial will go directly to them. There are few that will demand TH-cam to take down the video in which case TH-cam will issue a copyright strike on that channel but it really all depends on the copyright owner. I would say that the use of music isn't always a bad idea, it's just best to know the copyright owner's rules and stipulations of use.
I make my own music so i use that. But yeah some people are just jerks about the copyright claims. sometimes even if you don't even have their song in the video theyll send one
you can even use entire sound as long as you do not use the visual because the owner will issue copyright claim and take partial or all the money you make on that video very few will issue copyright strike it can happen but not likely because some artists do not want any of the music they make anywhere spread out
Hello sir thank you for these ingormation.i would like to ask you that now youtube allows the creators to use from other people shorts videos audio and 5 seconds clip. Still the channel can be delrted.?
Shorts have a feature called Remixing. Creators can choose to turn on or off Remixing on their long form videos, but most Shorts are made available for Remixing. Because this is a TH-cam feature, its perfectly fine to use those short clips of audio or video so long as you do it via the Remix tools. Taking that same content and reusing it outside of the Remix tool could get you into copyright issues.
I love how clearly you break down all your topics , I’m just starting off and have already taken the requested measures to acquire licenses to music for my videos. You definitely deserve the sun !!
@@estherraye No Record company is gonna let some new or anyone on you tube use their Music, your best bet is to use the You tube library of copy right free Music, it's Lame Music BUT you can use it.
TH-cam was designed by a creator. This creator created a platform for trillions of users to use. With the power this creator has, you can work hard, get attention and get your channel deleted. That being said, we are all creators. Create your own platform. We're as creative as the next man and woman. Get out of this matrix they got us in and start using your creativity that the Lord has given you.
The stuff in the back was problematic for me because I have Epilepsy and Hydrocephalus. I tried not to focus on it and it didn’t bother me too much. Do we need to get permission to use the music that comes on iMovie or we can access when we create shorts? Also, can we tag other channels and use their hashtags if we talk about them in our video?
Good video man. I can’t stand THE MOST is when people come on my channel and use the hard work I’ve done on my channel to boost their own channel. Like I started from the bottom, so when someone is trying to use my channel to get traffic, it’s frustrating.
What do you say about chain of new monetized channels appearing like mushrooms that have “reused content” that we all got demonetized for when purge happened couple of years back. Surely, YT is turning a blind eye because it’s hard not to notice them… that screams double standards!
@@oneoflokis I think content creators have gotten wise to the parameters. When the big banning happened, no one even knew why the were demonetized. YT didn't bother to explain, probably because they were still getting add revenue, just not the creators. :(
Dude we are the same my channel got demonitized being reported as reused content but other creators that do almost similar to my content are still monetized...
YT pushes their “own” relatives, employees, staff, board memebers, friends etc. they ALSO delete select vids from ur history as well as UNSIBSCRIBED me from some of my “FAV” channels! They’re evil! They’re owned by google so that says it all...anyone know where the term “android” came from? They won’t allow anyone to have that word in their email address either....there’s porn in YT and love murders etc as well as copyrighted music they turn their had to....theyre extremely insidious and that’s why so many are creating and linking alternative platforms....guess who owns ZOOM who has capitalized during Covd....too many rules and it’s only gonna get worse !
On #3, I really haven't noticed content creators controlling spamming in their comments. It looks more like they think the spam messages will contribute to making their comments look more "active" or something, and will often make a point of not removing anyone, almost ever. I'm almost convinced some of these people have paid people to spam all responses with irrelevant answers. Cuz it still looks like activity.
Definitely very grateful for the advice since I myself am just starting with TH-cam... Absolutely have to go through the academy & watch all your videos!👍 Thanks again for the video.
Great tips as always Nick! As a professional musician that knows WAY more about Copyright than I wish I did at times (lol) YES...you are correct and it's a very common myth...the one I hear all the time is "you can use up to 8 seconds (or sometimes it's 8 notes)" of a song without infringing on the owner's Copyright and that is totally incorrect. There is no statute for the amount of length or the amount of notes.
Hi Chris. So I notice on some channels that they write something like Copyright Music Xyz by xyz (2020) Does this pass as copyright permission? If not, what can be done if you really need to use a particular non-copyrighted music? Thanks.
@@Enewerome_CQ Hi, no that does not pass for "permission" that is merely an acknowledgement of who owns the copyright. Some do that as their own "disclaimer" but that really doesn't protect you under law just gives you slightly better escape plan LOL The second part of your question I don't really understand? "Non-copyrighted music"? By definition that would pretty much only be music in the Public Domain such as a Mozart piece or some ( but NOT ALL) Christmas Carols etc... If it's Public Domain you don't need permission at all...you don't really even have to credit it but it's still the cool thing to do ;) The bottom line is if someone owns the copyright, get permission (which may involve paying a license or Sync fee - depending on the status of the song). The last thing you want to do is put a great deal of work into a project only to then get a Cease and Desist and lose that work. Fortunately though, and I can't speak for all, but many Copyright owners allow YT to monetize their music even if THEY are not the ones posting it. For example, (and this is JUST an "example" I can't say for sure) but let's say you use a Madonna song in your video. Can Madonna and/or her Record Label make you take it down? Absolutely! Will they? Probably not as they would rather leave your video up and hope it goes viral because they then will collect the money from their song playing in it. YOU wouldn't be able to monetize that video but they can. Again, I just chose "Madonna" as an example. Hope this helps, cheers,
I know of youtubers that use part of the song in their lifestyle vlog when theyre driving. The song from the car but they skip really fast like 4 seconds of it. And no copyright infringement
@@AuntyCaroComedy you CAN add tags, but ONLY in the 'tag' box TH-cam provides in the details of your video when you want to edit/post a video. Just DONT add multiple tags in the *description* *that's not allowed!*
The background looks fine. What keeps it from being distracting is the fact that is blurred somewhat, while you are in sharp focus. It accents rather than distracts. It is perfect in my opinion.
Thanks Nick for the advice. Just a heads up to anyone in the UK "fair use" does not exist. Any use of copyright materials without permission is not permitted
Now that's not true. Fair Use does exists in UK and is called Fair Dealing. You can look more up on it on gov . uk, exception to copyright page (comments with links are sometimes held for review). Here is an excerpt: ------------------- Factors that have been identified by the courts as relevant in determining whether a particular dealing with a work is fair include: 1: does using the work affect the market for the original work? If a use of a work acts as a substitute for it, causing the owner to lose revenue, then it is not likely to be fair 2: is the amount of the work taken reasonable and appropriate? Was it necessary to use the amount that was taken? Usually only part of a work may be used. The relative importance of any one factor will vary according to the case in hand and the type of dealing in question.
@@NickNimmin My country Canada allows fair use. yeah I feel declaring that I won't put up episodes of a tv show (my channel's about a tv character from said show who I REALLY LOVE and my opinion on her which is definitely fair use) definitely put people off from coming to my channel, I get less views, but imo soo worth it, I had people mention it and - I ain't breakin no laws, dudes and dudettes! Full episodes are not fair use!
@@marlinjack3401 NO, it depends on the record company. if you use some unknown NOT popular stuff you can get away with it more easy. I just don't get it My stuff falls under Fair use because i make videos about Metal Bands & the topic is the Albums / Reviewing them. But many times i get a copy right "Claim" Recently my AC/DC video - songs were Blocked in a video. and the Video was completely Blocked. so i went back in & Muted the Songs / didn't use the Audio
This is such great advice. We actually have trouble coming up with enough tags in the tag section, much less the description. LOL! The background is cool… not distracting at all. I will definitely be checking out TH-cam Academy as well! Thanks so much for all the tips!
Another thing that’s worth mentioning is when adjusting your birthday, make sure you adjust the year so that’s it’s OVER 18. I worked so hard for like 2 years to get community posts and 333 subs, and all of that gotten taken away because I had adjusted the year wrong and TH-cam thought I was 6. The only way to undo this is to show TH-cam your credit card (I’m being srs 💀) or your id
Just to give you another perspective, I find the background extremely annoying and over stimulating on the eyes. I love your info though. Often I dont watch a video because of annoying background music or annoying visuals.
NAH BRO TRUST ME U REALLY SHOULDN'T BE WORRIED ABT THAT 2 MUCH. 5 DON'T SEEM TO BAD. I FEEL LIKE IF U TRYNA MAKE IT INTO DBL DIGITS, IT'S GONNA BE A PRBLM.
I just found out recently that TH-cam doesn't even like when you do a cover of a song, even if you created the music 100%. Their software actually recognizes the songs immediately. They have allowed my covers, and even the songs in which I downloaded the music & sang live. The "copyright claim" comes up immediately. Fortunately, all of the songs I've covered have been allowed by the copyright owners. On the bad side, if they ever change their mind & don't allow it, TH-cam will give you a copyright strike, even though it was allowed when you posted the video.
the claim comes from the owner of the song not youtube. All it usually does is send the revenue from the vidfeo to them, or, they can request removal of it which is rare. But if they do you you can remove it, all is ok. OR you can dispute it lol but if you lose the dispute you get a strike. I cover a lot of Elliott Smith songs, who passed in 2003. The owners of his music, whoever they are have been super chill. They claim some, and leave some alone completely, never ask for removal.
The way that you used the background was so subtle, that it could never in a million ways, ever distract someone. It actually serves the purpose of giving a person another engaging visual other than you face.
Seems like a lot of rules to make a tuff road harder than it already is, unless you're lucky enough to be one of the earlier content creators who are already where they need to be. It seems to become increasingly hard for new content creators to gain an audience, because these rules create a gate that separates people that are just starting from the ones who are already at the top. While they teach us to navigate a system, that's constantly trying to tighten the pipeline. Of course they're going to teach us ways to keep our failing channels, they have absolutely nothing to worry about. 🤷🏾♂️👑
Unfortunately it is harder yes because back before not only were there less creators but also the quality was not nearly as high of a standard, some channels from back in the day I don't think would make it now in the Times where social media has made everyone and there mother want to be a content creator, also where living now in a society where it is more based on just getting attention and getting as much clout as possible so yeah, I wish I knew this years ago when youtube first started up
TH-cam personnel never identify themselves by their full names and can never be communicated with via a phone call. They make accusations that cannot be supported with any evidence.
You asked, here is my answer: The background stuff is totally distracting to me. I listen to you on a regular basis, and I am subscribed. You have down to earth and timely information. Thank you.
That "you're allowed to use 4 seconds" myth has been lurking around for YEARS. Not sure how it's survived this long. Especially after labels really went after folks for not paying up back before streaming took off.
Thanks Nick, I really appreciate it! How embarrassing, in hindsight, in regard to computers, obviously it's important that we should simply consider what actions are available and try them.
I've used music that I didn't have rights to and what happened was I got a copyright claim on the video so the right holder gets the adsense revenue. Sucks when it happens years later after I used music from supposedly "copyright free" music channels here on TH-cam... So glad I switched to epidemicsound awhile back.
I was wondering about this, I’ve had copyright claims on my channel, which I don’t mind I’m not monetized, and if I do monetize down the road I’d be happy to divert some revenue to those copyright owners since I love their music. I just wonder if a copyright claim constitutes a red flag
I'm glad I haven't made those mistakes. As a creator I haven't made these mistakes. I never expected my channel to go anywhere and now that it has, it's my baby and I can't bear the throught of losing it. I really wanted a fair use clip but it's so iffy that I've beem waiting for the studio to give written consent. It never happened, after the video released wihout the clip and didn't do well and it wasn't worth the risk in the end. Thank you for your insight. 🙏
Thank you for shedding light on such an important topic! It's crucial for content creators to be aware of potential pitfalls that could lead to their videos or channels being removed. Your insight into these common mistakes will undoubtedly help many creators navigate TH-cam's terms of service and community guidelines more effectively. I'm looking forward to watching this video and learning how to avoid these pitfalls. Keep up the great work!
I also started with zero subscribers when I uploaded my first content about Motivational, amazing videos, educational, News, and documentaries. Through thorough research and maximizing the features of TH-cam, my subscriber count started to increment. I am not as big as other content creators, but TH-cam gave me a sense of fulfillment that my passion can be converted into something profitable. Thank you for sharing.
My reaction to each rules: 1. I should stop doing that now! 2. Never doing it. Also it's cringe... 3. Glad I'm not doing that too. 4. Well, that sums it up. *Thanks for the advice! Just reached 20k subs and I should play it safe.*
I remember doing this stuff in my early days of TH-cam when I started in 2016 I don't do it anymore as I learned more about the platform over the years
I liked the background! Because it’s darker shades I don’t find it at all distracting. I’m a newbie and appreciate videos like yours so much and breathed a big sigh of relief knowing I haven’t done any of the things mentioned in your video lol but I’m glad to have seasoned TH-camrs to look to for guidance so thank you for this!
The copyright bs got me a while ago; all my videos where muted because I started to play the National Anthem at the end of each of my videos and got hit with massive copyright strikes and everything muted until I removed it and fought with youtube for months to get it cleared up. It seems that the NFL has claimed copyright over the Star Spangled Banner; its out national anthem and it is the definition of fair use and public domain. After months of back and forth I finally got ahold of someone that understood this and unmuted all my videos! Even he said he didn't understand how the NFL placed a copyright claim on it and have removed the anthem from the detection algorithms they use to detect such things!!!
WOW, I did not know ANY of this!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I take my channel seriously and wish to grow in a legitimate manner and continue to push even changes in my behavior and content in a positive non toxic form where possible.
I have always agreed with your advice .... I remember TH-cam policy changes saying channels that were not commercially viable could be deleted...... I have intentionally used copyrighted music ... they do put a copyright content on the video taking away any monetization right of the video and usually place ads on the video making my channel commercially viable.
I've never heard of Tag stuffing, Like Spamming or the using another youtuber's name think. I did know about the copy right thing though. I'm just glad I don't apply these tactics to my uploading. I just wanna entertain people with my videos, and possibly work up the courage to start live streaming. maybe make TH-cam a full time thing
I agree with 60% of it for sure.. but so many people use clips of other things like funny film clip or memes in their videos, some people I follow that have over 4m subscribers have been doing it for years, I bet they will never get banned or told off but if a small TH-camr does it they will get penalised.. good old TH-cam lol..
TH-cam will let you use other people's music sometimes. I've used music and been notified that it's not a strike, but that any monetization will be given to the owners of the song. I'd love clarification on when you can do this (if you know.) I think it's a great idea as the song owners can potentially get money for doing nothing. This is certainly a preferable solution to striking people, muting sound in the video, deleting videos, banning channels. I'd gladly make more videos with copyrighted music and therefore give up all monetization if I knew a little more about how to do that safely.
This is the entire copyright claim system on TH-cam. The vast amount of music is more than likely going to get claimed rather than a strike, but its not guaranteed.
@@NickNimmin does scheduling a video rather than immediately posting it give you any protection against a possible strike? Can scheduling be used to safeguard against a strike by seeing that it would be a strike if the video went live? Seems to me that YT should provide some sort of advance warning so you have a chance to not post material that would gain a strike.
Whether you schedule or publish right away, does not make any difference in terms of copyright. Pre-uploading does allow TH-cam to run its checks for any immediate issues, but it doesn't protect from manual claims and takedowns down the road.
We recently went to a Museum that had overhead music playing. When we uploaded our video TH-cam put a restriction on the video and amazingly enough showed exactly where the part was. So I just set my volume down to 0 and put my own music down. That worked great Thanks for the other tips also
Hi nick. I just came across your channel looking for pointers as a new creator. The link you have for the Creator academy is directing me to terms of services. Can you provide me the correct link to the academy? Thank you so much for this great video. I look forward to learning more.
Thanks, Nick Nimmin for the quick overview. My content focus on games so it's always pretty tricky with any potential copyrights. Sometimes games do add license songs to it without me knowing about it.
Question! I see people using the TH-cam official Logo on their shirts, coffee cups, and hats etc. How does TH-cam License that Logo for merchandise use by TH-camrs? I am sure they do not know that it's a copyrighted logo. Thank you!
@@NickNimmin Thank you for responding, but the violations are broad and conspicuous. Do you actually know of anyone or any channel that was impacted by that? Apparently you can sell the TH-cam logo on shirts, coffee cups, and anything you want to. Is there a way to report it to see if it's legit?
Nick, thank you so much for all your advice. When put into practice you do see results. My channel is growing and it’s because I’ve taken your words so seriously, along with studying TH-cam and patients. I’m still learning a lot and fully understand that this will take time. Peaks and valleys.
It's your THUMBNAILS. Thumbnails are almost EVERYTHING. Don't get me wrong, quality content is Important, but you Need to get people to click on your video in the FIRST place to even worry about the content. You NEED to put more effort in your thumbnails. Make them more attractive, add some words or graphics, do something. *Just work on your thumbnails because they are very unappealing!*
Definitely some great information here. There are a lot of 'TH-cam Hack' style channels out there with false, misleading or outright incorrect information out there, and some of them even recommend 'tag stuffing' as a method of increasing search visibility so I really appreciate you debunking that method and saving a lot of fledgling channels such as mine from being deleted due to incorrect advice. So thank you very much Nick and keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for clarifying and confirming these no-nos/rules. I never got to follow through with the first channel that I wanted to do a couple years back. But i'm thinking of starting or just having my own personal one. But there is a touchy topic. Before I upload that video, I need to know if there's any wording that is taboo. I will head on over to the TH-cam Academy and check into this. Thank you.

It's the same with all social interaction on the net. Follow all the rules and don't speak until spoken to.

In my opinion I think TH-cam should just leave content creators alone and let them have fun on their platform as long as it's legal content. Deleting someone's channel entirely is an over exaggeration, and these 4 issues you've pointed out can be dealt with in a more humane manner then to just unperson them. Although, since TH-cam has become the grim reaper of free speech, I honestly don't expect anything less from them.
Nice video! And background was distracting to the eyes but not the ears.
@peachymilk
Brother i’m stuck with my viewers whom their comments on my channel get deleted for no reason and i know that because i can see their comments and they are completely harmless and they don’t share a link or spam comment and their comment gets deleted!! I don’t want that to happen I want comments to stay but I can’t find help on how to fix it!!
That solely depends on what the content of the video is. In most cases You Tube gives you strikes before they delete your channel. As for when it comes to creation of video's, Google are paying for the servers that are running You Tube and therefore we are obligated to follow their rules. We may not like it, it is just how it is. You Tube has a very difficult task of keeping the advertisers, the government and us creators happy at the same time. I do not envy You Tube CEO's job. You Tube is far from perfect but I believe that their are great people working at Google that will improve You Tube as time goes on and hopefully the guidelines and ways of making content will improve. To answer your comment You Tube does not just delete your channel they do however give you a strike depending on the violation. If you feel they unfairly gave you a strike you can always file a dispute. I would advise getting a lawyer's advise when doing that. I am not a lawyer. My point in all of this is that TH-cam is not a perfect platform and that you channel do not just get deleted their are channels that need to go through before that happens and I do not think that TH-cam will intervene if deem it necessary.
This just my opinion, I do not work for the company. I would like to say that I do agree with you that and I do wish that their were less severe consequences maybe like limiting your channel view rate for first time offenders. I am open for a debate on this subject.
@@danielels224 ok fanboy, and sure you dont work for the company, you just simp for them.
@@magnetarattractions278 It is very easy to criticize when you are not the one in their shoes. How would you feel if the table is turned? I fully believe that a person should look from both sides. So yeah, maybe I am a fanboy, TH-cam gave millions of people the ability to express themselves and many to make a living off the platform. With a ton of free content as well opportunity to learn for free. I see no shame in that. .
Don't give up on chasing your dream 💗
Sure, am chasing my dream

Thanks! I’m making mine right now!
thank you so much Nick, unfortunately my friend's channel got terminated because he used to put tags in description of his videos.
I'm glad I learned about this as early as possible.
I occasionally want to watch my own videos. My channel is monetised and I have a premium TH-cam. Am I able to watch my own videos without TH-cam thinking I’m trying to make money for myself?
If you are watching for a valid reason, TH-cam will account for that. If you repeatedly watch the same videos, they will 100% disregard all the views and watch time, etc.
@Nick Nimmin thank you for replying 🥰 I don’t even need any of the watchtime or views to be counted from when I watch it. Just wondering if TH-cam might think I’m trying to make money from the ads that I don’t actually see because I got TH-cam Premium
@@NickNimmin Thanks so much for the information I really appreciate it!!! 😭😭😭
Please I need recommendation of video editing app..... Any recommendation?
@@NickNimmin I do the same thing as @Gatis Kandis, especially when I've accidentally deleted the original video from my device and I want to watch it again. I assumed TH-cam would know when its me watching my own videos and EXCLUDE that from the count.
Really great information. I need to make an update on my channel based on one piece of information you shared...appreciate that. Regarding the use of music that you do not have rights to. In most cases the copyright owner will just issue a copyright claim on your video and all ad revenue or partial will go directly to them. There are few that will demand TH-cam to take down the video in which case TH-cam will issue a copyright strike on that channel but it really all depends on the copyright owner. I would say that the use of music isn't always a bad idea, it's just best to know the copyright owner's rules and stipulations of use.
I make my own music so i use that. But yeah some people are just jerks about the copyright claims. sometimes even if you don't even have their song in the video theyll send one
So strange. I always thought that you could use 35 seconds max. I personally use Epidemic Sound but this info is VERY informative!
I use a few places to my knowledge its all safe. Lucky I watch him like I do
Wow! Thanks for this information too... much appreciated!!🤛🏽
you can even use entire sound as long as you do not use the visual because the owner will issue copyright claim and take partial or all the money you make on that video very few will issue copyright strike it can happen but not likely because some artists do not want any of the music they make anywhere spread out
oh wow, i was doing most of the stuff you mentioned and i didn't even know it was against youtube community guidelines. thanks nick
Hello sir thank you for these ingormation.i would like to ask you that now youtube allows the creators to use from other people shorts videos audio and 5 seconds clip. Still the channel can be delrted.?
Is this legal or not. Because youtube is giving option itself.
Shorts have a feature called Remixing. Creators can choose to turn on or off Remixing on their long form videos, but most Shorts are made available for Remixing. Because this is a TH-cam feature, its perfectly fine to use those short clips of audio or video so long as you do it via the Remix tools. Taking that same content and reusing it outside of the Remix tool could get you into copyright issues.
*I ALWAYS feel attacked when I watch your videos. LOL Thank you for always being so helpful.*

@@estherraye No Record company is gonna let some new or anyone on you tube use their Music, your best bet is to use the You tube library of

TH-cam was designed by a creator. This creator created a platform for trillions of users to use. With the power this creator has, you can work hard, get attention and get your channel deleted. That being said, we are all creators. Create your own platform. We're as creative as the next man and woman. Get out of this matrix they got us in and start using your creativity that the Lord has given you.
Yo well said bro!
Trillions?
EXACTLY
THATS WHAT RUMBLE IS DOING
Now, if everyone had his own platform, who would watch the content then?
The stuff in the back was problematic for me because I have Epilepsy and Hydrocephalus. I tried not to focus on it and it didn’t bother me too much.
Do we need to get permission to use the music that comes on iMovie or we can access when we create shorts? Also, can we tag other channels and use their hashtags if we talk about them in our video?
Good video man. I can’t stand THE MOST is when people come on my channel and use the hard work I’ve done on my channel to boost their own channel. Like I started from the bottom, so when someone is trying to use my channel to get traffic, it’s frustrating.
Agreed. I hope you're dealing with that effectively - th-cam.com/video/Zj16dK7m2N0/w-d-xo.html
Right? The spam is terrible. You get excited about a new comment and then see spam.
What do you say about chain of new monetized channels appearing like mushrooms that have “reused content” that we all got demonetized for when purge happened couple of years back. Surely, YT is turning a blind eye because it’s hard not to notice them… that screams double standards!
It just means their time hasn't come yet - it takes time for their human reviewers to comb through channels checking for YPP compliance.
@@oneoflokis I think content creators have gotten wise to the parameters. When the big banning happened, no one even knew why the were demonetized. YT didn't bother to explain, probably because they were still getting add revenue, just not the creators. :(
Dude we are the same my channel got demonitized being reported as reused content but other creators that do almost similar to my content are still monetized...
YT pushes their “own” relatives, employees, staff, board memebers, friends etc. they ALSO delete select vids from ur history as well as UNSIBSCRIBED me from some of my “FAV” channels! They’re evil! They’re owned by google so that says it all...anyone know where the term “android” came from? They won’t allow anyone to have that word in their email address either....there’s porn in YT and love murders etc as well as copyrighted music they turn their had to....theyre extremely insidious and that’s why so many are creating and linking alternative platforms....guess who owns ZOOM who has capitalized during Covd....too many rules and it’s only gonna get worse !
On #3, I really haven't noticed content creators controlling spamming in their comments. It looks more like they think the spam messages will contribute to making their comments look more "active" or something, and will often make a point of not removing anyone, almost ever. I'm almost convinced some of these people have paid people to spam all responses with irrelevant answers. Cuz it still looks like activity.
Many creators don't care about their comments - at all.
Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

Definitely very grateful for the advice since I myself am just starting with TH-cam... Absolutely have to go through the academy & watch all your videos!👍 Thanks again for the video.
I’ve been growing my second channel by being original. Any tips or direction on how to properly do SEO?
I appreciate you asking if the background is annoying or not, it shows you really care about your viewers.
Great tips as always Nick! As a professional musician that knows WAY more about Copyright than I wish I did at times (lol) YES...you are correct and it's a very common myth...the one I hear all the time is "you can use up to 8 seconds (or sometimes it's 8 notes)" of a song without infringing on the owner's Copyright and that is totally incorrect. There is no statute for the amount of length or the amount of notes.
Hi Chris. So I notice on some channels that they write something like
Copyright Music
Xyz by xyz (2020)
Does this pass as copyright permission? If not, what can be done if you really need to use a particular non-copyrighted music?
Thanks.
@@Enewerome_CQ Hi, no that does not pass for "permission" that is merely an acknowledgement of who owns the copyright. Some do that as their own "disclaimer" but that really doesn't protect you under law just gives you slightly better escape plan LOL
The second part of your question I don't really understand? "Non-copyrighted music"? By definition that would pretty much only be music in the Public Domain such as a Mozart piece or some ( but NOT ALL) Christmas Carols etc... If it's Public Domain you don't need permission at all...you don't really even have to credit it but it's still the cool thing to do ;)
The bottom line is if someone owns the copyright, get permission (which may involve paying a license or Sync fee - depending on the status of the song). The last thing you want to do is put a great deal of work into a project only to then get a Cease and Desist and lose that work.
Fortunately though, and I can't speak for all, but many Copyright owners allow YT to monetize their music even if THEY are not the ones posting it. For example, (and this is JUST an "example" I can't say for sure) but let's say you use a Madonna song in your video. Can Madonna and/or her Record Label make you take it down? Absolutely! Will they? Probably not as they would rather leave your video up and hope it goes viral because they then will collect the money from their song playing in it. YOU wouldn't be able to monetize that video but they can. Again, I just chose "Madonna" as an example. Hope this helps, cheers,
@@chrisdunnettmusic thanks a lot! I actually made a mistake. I wanted to write copyright. But thanks for your explanation.
@@Enewerome_CQ Sure thing! You're very welcome
I know of youtubers that use part of the song in their lifestyle vlog when theyre driving. The song from the car but they skip really fast like 4 seconds of it. And no copyright infringement
So helpful, I've broken so many of these and was encouraged to from other creators. Defo need to make some changes
Exactly. Some say we should tag he is saying we shouldn't. Am confused
@@AuntyCaroComedy you CAN add tags, but ONLY in the 'tag' box TH-cam provides in the details of your video when you want to edit/post a video. Just DONT add multiple tags in the *description* *that's not allowed!*
The background looks fine. What keeps it from being distracting is the fact that is blurred somewhat, while you are in sharp focus. It accents rather than distracts. It is perfect in my opinion.
As a new youtubers i really dont know much about editing my videos, thank you for this great information i absolutely helps me a lot thank you so much
Thanks Nick for the advice. Just a heads up to anyone in the UK "fair use" does not exist. Any use of copyright materials without permission is not permitted
The varying laws between countries can be painful for sure.
We can't use music in our bg, So we can't use instmeantal ?
Now that's not true. Fair Use does exists in UK and is called Fair Dealing. You can look more up on it on gov . uk, exception to copyright page (comments with links are sometimes held for review). Here is an excerpt:
-------------------
Factors that have been identified by the courts as relevant in determining whether a particular dealing with a work is fair include:
1: does using the work affect the market for the original work? If a use of a work acts as a substitute for it, causing the owner to lose revenue, then it is not likely to be fair
2: is the amount of the work taken reasonable and appropriate? Was it necessary to use the amount that was taken? Usually only part of a work may be used.
The relative importance of any one factor will vary according to the case in hand and the type of dealing in question.
@@NickNimmin My country Canada allows fair use. yeah I feel declaring that I won't put up episodes of a tv show (my channel's about a tv character from said show who I REALLY LOVE and my opinion on her which is definitely fair use) definitely put people off from coming to my channel, I get less views, but imo soo worth it, I had people mention it and - I ain't breakin no laws, dudes and dudettes! Full episodes are not fair use!
@@marlinjack3401 NO, it depends on the record company. if you use some unknown NOT popular stuff you can get away with it more easy.
I just don't get it My stuff falls under Fair use because i make videos about Metal Bands & the topic is the Albums / Reviewing them.
But many times i get a copy right "Claim" Recently my AC/DC video - songs were Blocked in a video. and the Video was completely Blocked.
so i went back in & Muted the Songs / didn't use the Audio
This is such great advice. We actually have trouble coming up with enough tags in the tag section, much less the description. LOL! The background is cool… not distracting at all. I will definitely be checking out TH-cam Academy as well! Thanks so much for all the tips!
Another thing that’s worth mentioning is when adjusting your birthday, make sure you adjust the year so that’s it’s OVER 18.
I worked so hard for like 2 years to get community posts and 333 subs, and all of that gotten taken away because I had adjusted the year wrong and TH-cam thought I was 6. The only way to undo this is to show TH-cam your credit card (I’m being srs 💀) or your id
Wow, that's a very odd result.
Dang
Great advice Nick!👍🏻 The background is a nice touch! #Nimminati
Thanks Paul!
Thanks Paul!
Yeah man, nice job changing it up
Just to give you another perspective, I find the background extremely annoying and over stimulating on the eyes. I love your info though. Often I dont watch a video because of annoying background music or annoying visuals.

Dang I didn’t even know that the first one is even frowned upon, I’ll stop doing that from now on
I just found out recently that TH-cam doesn't even like when you do a cover of a song, even if you created the music 100%. Their software actually recognizes the songs immediately. They have allowed my covers, and even the songs in which I downloaded the music & sang live. The "copyright claim" comes up immediately. Fortunately, all of the songs I've covered have been allowed by the copyright owners. On the bad side, if they ever change their mind & don't allow it, TH-cam will give you a copyright strike, even though it was allowed when you posted the video.
It would be super rare that once you get a claim that it would get upgraded to a strike in the future.
the claim comes from the owner of the song not youtube. All it usually does is send the revenue from the vidfeo to them, or, they can request removal of it which is rare. But if they do you you can remove it, all is ok. OR you can dispute it lol but if you lose the dispute you get a strike. I cover a lot of Elliott Smith songs, who passed in 2003. The owners of his music, whoever they are have been super chill. They claim some, and leave some alone completely, never ask for removal.
The way that you used the background was so subtle, that it could never in a million ways, ever distract someone. It actually serves the purpose of giving a person another engaging visual other than you face.
Seems like a lot of rules to make a tuff road harder than it already is, unless you're lucky enough to be one of the earlier content creators who are already where they need to be. It seems to become increasingly hard for new content creators to gain an audience, because these rules create a gate that separates people that are just starting from the ones who are already at the top. While they teach us to navigate a system, that's constantly trying to tighten the pipeline. Of course they're going to teach us ways to keep our failing channels, they have absolutely nothing to worry about. 🤷🏾♂️👑
Unfortunately it is harder yes because back before not only were there less creators but also the quality was not nearly as high of a standard, some channels from back in the day I don't think would make it now in the Times where social media has made everyone and there mother want to be a content creator, also where living now in a society where it is more based on just getting attention and getting as much clout as possible so yeah, I wish I knew this years ago when youtube first started up
TH-cam management deleted my channel despite having no previous warnings.
TH-cam personnel never identify themselves by their full names and can never be communicated with via a phone call. They make accusations that cannot be supported with any evidence.
You asked, here is my answer: The background stuff is totally distracting to me. I listen to you on a regular basis, and I am subscribed. You have down to earth and timely information. Thank you.

That "you're allowed to use 4 seconds" myth has been lurking around for YEARS. Not sure how it's survived this long. Especially after labels really went after folks for not paying up back before streaming took off.

"And we are starting right now" sponser begins first.
Thanks Nick, I really appreciate it! How embarrassing, in hindsight, in regard to computers, obviously it's important that we should simply consider what actions are available and try them.
I've used music that I didn't have rights to and what happened was I got a copyright claim on the video so the right holder gets the adsense revenue. Sucks when it happens years later after I used music from supposedly "copyright free" music channels here on TH-cam... So glad I switched to epidemicsound awhile back.
@Lucy Summer no it's a subscription service for like $15 per month or something. Nick probably has an affiliate link in the description of this video.
I was wondering about this, I’ve had copyright claims on my channel, which I don’t mind I’m not monetized, and if I do monetize down the road I’d be happy to divert some revenue to those copyright owners since I love their music. I just wonder if a copyright claim constitutes a red flag
You just saved me from doing future mistakes. Thank you "Nick"
I'm glad I haven't made those mistakes. As a creator I haven't made these mistakes. I never expected my channel to go anywhere and now that it has, it's my baby and I can't bear the throught of losing it. I really wanted a fair use clip but it's so iffy that I've beem waiting for the studio to give written consent. It never happened, after the video released wihout the clip and didn't do well and it wasn't worth the risk in the end. Thank you for your insight. 🙏
Thank you for shedding light on such an important topic! It's crucial for content creators to be aware of potential pitfalls that could lead to their videos or channels being removed. Your insight into these common mistakes will undoubtedly help many creators navigate TH-cam's terms of service and community guidelines more effectively. I'm looking forward to watching this video and learning how to avoid these pitfalls. Keep up the great work!
I also started with zero subscribers when I uploaded my first content about Motivational, amazing videos, educational, News, and documentaries. Through thorough research and maximizing the features of TH-cam, my subscriber count started to increment. I am not as big as other content creators, but TH-cam gave me a sense of fulfillment that my passion can be converted into something profitable. Thank you for sharing.
My reaction to each rules:
1. I should stop doing that now!
2. Never doing it. Also it's cringe...
3. Glad I'm not doing that too.
4. Well, that sums it up.

Question: How are TH-camrs who do music reactions able to play music in their reaction video while being in compliance with TH-cam copyright laws?

This is really great and thank you so much for getting this out there.
The copyright bs got me a while ago; all my videos where muted because I started to play the National Anthem at the end of each of my videos and got hit with massive copyright strikes and everything muted until I removed it and fought with youtube for months to get it cleared up. It seems that the NFL has claimed copyright over the Star Spangled Banner; its out national anthem and it is the definition of fair use and public domain. After months of back and forth I finally got ahold of someone that understood this and unmuted all my videos!
Even he said he didn't understand how the NFL placed a copyright claim on it and have removed the anthem from the detection algorithms they use to detect such things!!!

This is very helpful I truly appreciate you Nick
I have always agreed with your advice .... I remember TH-cam policy changes saying channels that were not commercially viable could be deleted...... I have intentionally used copyrighted music ... they do put a copyright content on the video taking away any monetization right of the video and usually place ads on the video making my channel commercially viable.
I've never heard of Tag stuffing, Like Spamming or the using another youtuber's name think. I did know about the copy right thing though. I'm just glad I don't apply these tactics to my uploading. I just wanna entertain people with my videos, and possibly work up the courage to start live streaming. maybe make TH-cam a full time thing
I agree with 60% of it for sure.. but so many people use clips of other things like funny film clip or memes in their videos, some people I follow that have over 4m subscribers have been doing it for years, I bet they will never get banned or told off but if a small TH-camr does it they will get penalised.. good old TH-cam lol..
Copyright is complex. Someone like Ian Corzine can better speak to the nuances of fair use, memes, and so on.
Nick Nimmin, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
Welcome aboard! 🤓✋
TH-cam will let you use other people's music sometimes. I've used music and been notified that it's not a strike, but that any monetization will be given to the owners of the song. I'd love clarification on when you can do this (if you know.) I think it's a great idea as the song owners can potentially get money for doing nothing. This is certainly a preferable solution to striking people, muting sound in the video, deleting videos, banning channels. I'd gladly make more videos with copyrighted music and therefore give up all monetization if I knew a little more about how to do that safely.
This is the entire copyright claim system on TH-cam. The vast amount of music is more than likely going to get claimed rather than a strike, but its not guaranteed.
@@NickNimmin does scheduling a video rather than immediately posting it give you any protection against a possible strike?
Can scheduling be used to safeguard against a strike by seeing that it would be a strike if the video went live?
Seems to me that YT should provide some sort of advance warning so you have a chance to not post material that would gain a strike.
Whether you schedule or publish right away, does not make any difference in terms of copyright. Pre-uploading does allow TH-cam to run its checks for any immediate issues, but it doesn't protect from manual claims and takedowns down the road.
@@NickNimmin Thanks.
Or the video with copyrighted music will remain private.
*I like 99% of the videos I watch, as long as they are decent.*
We recently went to a Museum that had overhead music playing. When we uploaded our video TH-cam put a restriction on the video and amazingly enough showed exactly where the part was. So I just set my volume down to 0 and put my own music down. That worked great
Thanks for the other tips also
Intresting
Hello there
Hi nick. I just came across your channel looking for pointers as a new creator. The link you have for the Creator academy is directing me to terms of services. Can you provide me the correct link to the academy?
Thank you so much for this great video. I look forward to learning more.
They discontinued the original creator academy and replaced it with this - th-cam.com/users/creators
Thanks. Companies like Google have been getting pretty strict on stuff, and sometimes it's hard to know what you'll get banned for.
Thanks, Nick Nimmin for the quick overview. My content focus on games so it's always pretty tricky with any potential copyrights. Sometimes games do add license songs to it without me knowing about it.
Question! I see people using the TH-cam official Logo on their shirts, coffee cups, and hats etc. How does TH-cam License that Logo for merchandise use by TH-camrs? I am sure they do not know that it's a copyrighted logo. Thank you!
Google does take action where their trademarks have been used without permission. They have a whole policy devoted to that.
@@NickNimmin Thank you for responding, but the violations are broad and conspicuous. Do you actually know of anyone or any channel that was impacted by that? Apparently you can sell the TH-cam logo on shirts, coffee cups, and anything you want to. Is there a way to report it to see if it's legit?
Great info! Thank you, Nick!
Glad it was helpful!
Nick, thank you so much for all your advice. When put into practice you do see results. My channel is growing and it’s because I’ve taken your words so seriously, along with studying TH-cam and patients. I’m still learning a lot and fully understand that this will take time. Peaks and valleys.

There are a lot of 'TH-cam Hack' style channels out there with false, misleading or outright incorrect information out there, and some of them even recommend 'tag stuffing' as a method of increasing search visibility so I really appreciate you debunking that method and saving a lot of fledgling channels such as mine from being deleted due to incorrect advice. So thank you very much Nick and keep up the excellent work!
No problem! 👊 🤓
Been with you since day one Nick. Thank you

I might need to update a bunch of videos I made over the past year... 😬
Thank you for clarifying and confirming these no-nos/rules.
I never got to follow through with the first channel that I wanted to do a couple years back. But i'm thinking of starting or just having my own personal one. But there is a touchy topic. Before I upload that video, I need to know if there's any wording that is taboo. I will head on over to the TH-cam Academy and check into this. Thank you.
Thanks, Nick. I never thought this stuff would completely ban channels from the face of YT 🤯 I kinda thought they'd just delete whatever they did.
you get three strikes typically, and they expire after 6 months I think, or a year? then they ban you.
I’ve been grinding 7 videos per day . Let’s gooo 🚀
@@chrisshorts how are you doing?
I’ve seen the thumbnail of one of your videos, you kind of remind me of Ace Hood😏
@@chrisshorts good!
so like this comment is about 3 of the things he told you will get your channel shut down
This guy is the typical guy that tries to act like he's looking around to help you out, but he's really looking around to catch people trying to succeed in there channel
This is the guy who actually reads his comments. I'm not here to trip people up, I'm here to help more people be successful on this platform by avoiding the pitfalls and teaching the foundations of a successful channel.
Very hopeful information, thank you for sharing it. Yes the background is a detractor. Makes it hard to focus on the good quality information you're sharing.
