Youtube is home to millions of videos with new content uploaded every second of the day. Youtube is definitely one of the best options to get your videos seen and liked, but there is a looming possibility that your video will be removed from Youtube for various reasons. If you want to back up your video and don't think you did anything wrong, your best bet to get the removal reversed is to file a dispute or appeal. After a video has been removed, the uploader has the option to restore it by providing Youtube staff with reasons why the video complies with both terms of service guidelines and copyright restrictions. To successfully begin the process of disputing and appealing a deleted video, follow these steps.Step One: Find out the reason for removalThis is a relatively simple step in the process as Youtube almost always provides the uploader with the reason why the video has been removed. For example, if the video has copyrighted content, it will have red text under the video description in Video Manager indicating that the video content has been combined with third-party content or that the video has been removed at the request of the owner of the copyrighted content. If you have too many videos to sift through for removed items, go to Video Manager and go to the section titled "Copyright Notices." YouTube will also usually send an email to the uploader notifying them of removed videos usually providing the reason for removal in the email.Step Two: Figure out if the video should be disputedThe dispute procedure should only be used when you believe that your video was removed in error and you can demonstrate that the video followed community guidelines, term...... middle of paper...... the video is covered by fair use using the guidance provided here . Sign your full name as a further demonstration of professionalism and sincerity and submit your complaint. It may take from a day or two to a month to get a rating from Youtube staff. Step Five: Appeals If content has been left in or removed again at the copyright holder's request, you can appeal. The appeal process is very similar to the original dispute, only it requires more detail in explaining and verifying your account via a mobile number. Your contact information may also be required for the sake of the copyright holder. Not all videos are available for appeal, but you will need to ensure that your video truly complies with fair use guidelines and laws with a good, solid explanation to back it up if they want to have a chance of winning the appeal.
