Monetization settings are changing to help you earn more revenue

YouTube creators are busy people. That’s why earlier this year we enabled creators to set defaults on new uploads for privacy, licensing, tags, and monetization. We also introduced an easier way to control how ads appear on your content by allowing you to set default ad settings for all newly uploaded videos.

To help you earn more money on YouTube, we’re going to be making some changes based on these default settings.

You can already easily set your ad format preferences consistently across all your new uploads.  On Nov. 9, 2012, we will  automatically enable ad format settings on your older monetized content in line with your current default ad settings. This change will only affect monetized videos uploaded before Apr. 20, 2012.

For example, if you have TrueView in-stream ads enabled as a default for your new uploads, we’ll go back and enable it on older monetized content. Conversely, if you don’t have in-video ads on by default for new uploads we won’t touch that setting on any video.

If you do not want to apply this change to your older videos, you can easily opt out.  If you use Video Manager, opt out at http://www.youtube.com/my_videos. If you use the Content Management System for your channels, you’ll see a notification when you login with instructions. If you wish to opt out, please do so by Nov. 9, 2012. After that date, the ad settings on all of your older monetized content will change to reflect your current default settings.

This change will give you more opportunities to make money from your videos, so we encourage you to check your default settings for monetization and ad formats at http://www.youtube.com/account_defaults.

  1. This really doesn't sound like something to help Youtube creators make more money...it sounds like Youtube wants to enable in-video ads on as many videos as possible. Notice that if your defaults are set to no in-video ads that it doesn't take older videos with trueview and revert them to no in-video. I imagine there are a lot of people that don't even know about trueview prerolls, especially if they don't get a lot of views/revenue enough to care. This sounds like it will also make more work for those with a lot of videos, having to go back and pick and choose which ones they want trueview prerolls on and which they don't, when they probably have done that already.

    This is a bad idea.

    2. Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

  2. Surprise surprise, Google's earnings report came out today with bad news, shares plummeted, trading was halted...is it any wonder why they are making the invasive move of reaching into our accounts and changing our ad settings to help them gain more revenue?

  6. What about the legal issues? I upload stuff occasionally that I don't own all the rights to, and if YouTube automatically monetizes them, it shouldn't be my problem.

  7. Than that means I will have to delete all my videos instead of risking monetizing video game playthroughs. ugh. I'm going to be in a content network anyway. so pretty much I either disable monetization or delete my videos. this is a bad idea for me.
