YouTube is introducing its pre-publish checks tool on the mobile
app, which it had first launched for the desktop version last year in March. The
tool is designed to help creators ensure that their content is fully eligible for
monetization and free of any violative issues before it is uploaded.
The tool assesses content for potential violations like copyright
issues and ad suitability, so that creators can take necessary action
towards any issue that is found. This will save them from the trouble of encountering
these problems after their content is published, which often leads to penalties
and reduction in money-making capacity.
There are a few things to note about this feature in the mobile
app, which differ from the desktop version of the feature. These include videos
being required to be enabled for monetization on the Studio app before the
monetization check runs on them, and being uploaded and processed on the main
app before the copyright claims check runs on them. YouTube will also notify
creators once the checks are finished.
The checks tool has been quite useful to creators on desktop,
therefore bringing it to the mobile app is equally valuable. Creators can
expect to see these tools on their mobile app over the next couple of weeks,
according to YouTube.
