Uploaded part 4 of my Hitman absolution gameplay then shortly received an email saying it was blocked in all countries and This claim is penalizing your account status.

It has facecam and commentary and is edited, I deleted this video sadly , but I would still like to know if this will effect my account (copyright strikes etc)and how I can avoid it in future (don't say by not using copyrighted content) I thought it was fine as long as its got commentary etc, any help anyone? Thanks :)

I'm doing a Lets Play of Hitman too, at the moment, and so far I'm good... If it was blocked in all countries your account will get a strike unfortunately :(

Go to your 'settings'. If you're in Good Standing then you should be ok since the vid is gone, but if there's a strike then you'll have to be careful about what you upload. Sometimes, with major games it doesn't matter how amenable your video is, the devs and publishers will throw a girly fit and demand that it be removed or something silly. This is sad, and is also why gaming is such a grey area on youtube :(
 
Is that definite though? My account still says in good standing and I deleted the video? Surely youtube would give you the option to remove the video to avoid strikes and claims?

My account does say in good standing , hopefully it doesn't change or take time for a strike to occur :c worked really hard on my content and it would really be soso annoying

If you don't visibly have a strike, you're okay. Just make sure that no extraneous music (even music included in the game that is played by for e.g. a popular musician) is included or video footage that shouldn't be in there. Sometimes if 'cut scene' stuff is detected by Youtube's bot system it can flag a video. It's so annoying, I know there are too many to have actual people check them but sometimes I wish they would because it's unfair and too random!
 
Really sucks cause I am careful of what I upload, I never use copyrighted music or anything. Hope I don't get a strike.......

Me too. I hate it when gaming vids get strikes, because it's not like you're offering any part of it for download! Good luck!

Oh I checked out your vids and I subbed :D your human sentry gun video cracked me up haha.
 
You won't get strikes on your youtube account since you have your own commentary over it. If you just upload gaming video's with commentaries it's ok ;)
