A policy is a collection of rules that guides how a content owner desires YouTube managing such a video that is having claims. Whenever claiming a video, user stress on the content of the video such as audiovisual, visual or audio segments. An owner can decide whether the video can be seen by the users and whether advertisements are shown with the video on YouTube. The owner might desire how YouTube can manage the video by adding a strategy:

Track – It lets users collecting an overview of the views and seeing the video without advertisement.

Monetize – YouTube lets users visiting the video and show advertisements while playing it.

Block – Users are prevented to visit the video on YouTube.

By choosing monetize, YouTube will review claimed videos. It ensures that they have satisfied the advertiser-friendly guidelines before the ads are shown. This authorizes YouTube show ads with a claimed video but it does not state which kinds of ads are using the settings of advertisement.

Working procedure of the Policy

YouTube policies include one or more rules to decide which of the three actions to be taken. For instance YouTube may take a policy to monetize or permit the video to be viewed in Canada and the United States. It might be blocked by the YouTube for the rest of the world including the rules as follows:

If user resides in Canada or in the United States                   –              Monetize the video

If the user is in elsewhere                                                           –              The content is blocked

When it comes to claim the video, YouTube includes a policy. If a video includes a number of valid claims and policies with it, YouTube reacts taking the maximum restrictive measure. For instance, if a policy includes monetization of a video and another one is about to block it, the video is blocked by the YouTube.

Rules of YouTube Policies

Location of the user is the common factor for a policy rule. Other conditions are also there for policies that are used in the content ID method of YouTube. Territory rules should be added in a policy when it is required to treat the visitors differently. It should be within the regions where the rights are owned.

Three policies can be used:

Track across the world

Monetize all the countries

Block all the countries
