Reviewing YouTube Sharing Requests.

Check audience fit, disclosure, the destination link and proof requirements before accepting a YouTube sharing request. Sign in to see the requests available to your account.

Place mattersRead what to send first.
1

Identify the requested placement

Read whether the request concerns a video, description link or another supported placement. Check the tools your channel can use and the viewer's actual path to the destination.

2

Keep the mention relevant

A useful mention explains how the link relates to the video's subject. Do not add claims about a product you have not used or reuse copyrighted footage just because it appears at the destination.

3

Declare paid promotion

YouTube requires creators to identify branded content and other commercial relationships through the paid-promotion setting. Review its current restrictions and disclosure instructions before publishing.

4

Provide the agreed post URL

Check the requested visibility, timing and proof before accepting. The reviewer needs to locate the agreed placement without your account credentials; a share does not establish views, subscriptions or sales.

Check the request before you accept.

Available requests depend on your account and eligibility. Sign in to review the actual link, pay, timing and proof instructions.
