Question: What requirement must a video meet before it’s eligible to earn ad revenue?
- The video must be at least 30 seconds long.
- The channel must be at least 1 year old.
- The content must be advertiser-friendly.
- The channel should own the rights to 50% of the video’s content.
Explanation
YouTube monetization depends on whether content complies with Advertiser-friendly content guidelines. These guidelines help determine if ads can run on a video without restrictions. YouTube reviews elements such as visuals, audio, title, description, thumbnail, and tags when evaluating ad suitability. Content that does not meet these standards may receive limited or no ads.
Why the other options are incorrect
30 seconds is incorrect because YouTube does not use that as the general threshold for ad revenue eligibility.
1 year old is incorrect because channel age alone does not determine video monetization eligibility.
50% ownership is incorrect because monetization requires sufficient rights to the content, not a fixed partial ownership threshold.
