A question about partnership and copyright strikes

[JostenVlogs]

So I applied for partnership and I was wondering if having a copyright strike from January would make any difference and my account is in good standing with youtube.

All that matters is they need to see the 3 green lights on your channel settings. That's all they want to know. If you have one 1 red light you can't become partner. So if you have a copyright strike I would delete the video that got you the strike against your account.

Copyright strikes expire after six months, so long as there are no more issues and the offending video is removed from the channel.

Ray is right. So long as you have the three green lights, you're good to go.

Hell yes. Would making it private still not be enough? Or I could just re edit it and upload it again without the copyrighted music I suppose.

Most of the stuff I've read says that if you have copyrighted music or whatever, to completely get rid of it before applying to becoma a partner. I'd be afraid, knowing how YouTube can be, to even have it private.

It's just safer that way, I guess. Less chance for issues down the road.

Have you applied for partnership before?

Have you applied for partnership before?

I never was able to make the requirements when I tried. I did try to apply through fullscreen but I wasn't accepted awhile ago.
