Frequently asked questions
What are the YouTube monetization requirements?
1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 valid public watch hours in the last 12 months — or 1,000 subscribers and 10 million valid Shorts views in the last 90 days.
Do watch hours from Shorts count?
No — the 4,000-hour threshold is from long-form public videos. Shorts have their own separate 10M-views path.
