Benefits & Qualifications
It pays to be a partner
Build your audience and give your videos a home on YouView. Partners can personalize their channel and video pages with dedicated graphics. Live advertising revenue depends on publisher approval; paid network monetization is not available on this local instance yet.
Analyze your audience
Follow your videos’ views, ratings and comments through your account tools. More detailed audience analytics are planned.
Protect your copyright
Review YouView’s copyright resources and contact the administrator about reports or strike reviews. Automated content matching is not available.
Show off your content
Partners can set a 960 × 150 channel header and a separate 150 × 25 watch-page graphic in channel settings. Partners can also upload videos longer than 15 minutes, within the uploader’s file-size limits, and become eligible for partner advertising once the site’s network is approved.
Qualifications
To become a YouView Partner, you must meet these minimum requirements:
- Create original videos suitable for online streaming.
- Own or have express permission to use and monetize all audio and video content you upload.
- Regularly upload videos watched by thousands of users, or publish popular or commercially successful videos elsewhere, such as DVDs sold online.
Your account must also be active and in good standing. All uploads remain subject to the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

How do YouView Partners earn money?
Live advertising requires an approved publisher account and configured ad inventory. This local instance is awaiting publisher approval and does not currently pay creators.
How long does the application process take?
Applications are reviewed manually. There is no guaranteed processing time; check your account overview or application page for the decision and feedback.
How much money will I make?
There is no earnings estimate or payment promise. Revenue and payment terms will be described when a live program becomes available.
How do you decide who is approved for the Partnership program?
We review original content, rights to monetize all audio and video, upload consistency, an established audience or alternative commercial success, and account standing. There is no fixed subscriber or watch-hour threshold.
Can I still participate if my videos include music?
Use content you have permission to upload and review the site’s policies. Contact the administrator with questions about a specific upload.
Does a cover song classify as an original music video?
Partner status does not grant permission to use someone else’s content. Review the site’s policies before uploading.
Do you accept audio as part of the program?
YouView currently accepts video uploads. Audio-only partner support has not been announced.
What type of ads will run on my content?
The site supports pre-roll and banner placements. Live network inventory is pending publisher approval; placeholders are currently in use.
