Can I Enable Youtube Monetization?

[kkushalbeatzz]

Hey guys! I was wondering if I could enable monetaztion on my videos with Adsense? I don't want the money just the thumbnails. I am afraid however that I will get a Content I.D. Claim. I upload Minecraft and some Binding of Isaac and am planning on recording Team Fortress 2 and other steam games. All help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I don't think it's worth it, especially if you're planning on getting a partnership with a network at some point. If you truly don't care about that and just want thumbnails forever, then you can register it, but don't monetize the videos. You aren't allowed to monetize gaming videos on adsense.

Yeah I thought so. I'll have to put in some hard work and grow to some form of partnership. Thanks bro!

As the below said it isn`t really worth it,
you have a chance of getting thumbnails anyway
you`ll be risking disabled adsense from click bombing
you`ll probably want to upload a game you don`t have the license for at some point
You`ll be slowing down the process of getting partnered by a network (if you decide to join one sometime)

I wrote everything below this paragraph first, and then I realized that you only want thumbnails. You can enable monetization and just don't monetize any of your videos. You should still get custom thumbnails. Feel free to read the paragraphs below if you want more information about monetizing gaming videos.

You can enable AdSense. Most people will tell you not to since you're a gaming channel, but I also have a gaming channel and have had a lot of success with AdSense. As long as you clearly state that you can monetize the video through Fair Use (and that means you need to quote Fair Use, not just say you can use it), then YouTube will allow you to monetize the videos.

Minecraft is an exception. If you look at the terms on their site, it says you can do anything with videos made from the game. That means you should quote Minecraft's terms instead of using Fair Use.

The only issue I've had with AdSense is that for the past 2 months, I haven't been able to monetize a single video, not even Minecraft. It's probably YouTube's automatic copyright detector that's causing an issue for me, but I have no idea how to fix it. That's something to consider.

Yeah this all makes sense but I think I'l stay away from AdSense for now just to be on the safe side. Like they say, better safe then sorry!

Yeah, you're probably right Shane. BTW, what are the minimums for Vultra and do they have gaming liscences? I know I'll have to grow A LOT before I can join so this is just for future references.
