Question: A partner decides to block user-uploaded videos. What happens to a user-uploaded video that matches the policy?
- The video is unavailable for viewing and the uploader automatically receives a copyright strike.
- The video is available for viewing but the uploader receives a copyright strike.
- The video is viewable only on YouTube (embeds and other playbacks are disabled).
- The video is unavailable for viewing but retains a unique URL.
Explanation
A block policy makes a matched user-uploaded video unavailable in the territories where the policy applies. The video is not deleted from YouTube when the policy is enforced. The upload still exists as a video record with its own URL, but viewers cannot watch it where blocking applies. A Content ID claim is separate from a copyright takedown, so blocking does not automatically create a copyright strike.
Why the other options are incorrect
Copyright strike is incorrect because a Content ID block does not automatically issue a strike.
Available with strike is incorrect because a blocked claim prevents viewing where the policy applies.
Embeds disabled is incorrect because blocking affects video availability, not only off-YouTube playback.
