Editing How to Appeal a Community Guidelines Strike from YouTube



If you received a community guidelines strike on your YouTube channel, you may be wondering how to appeal it. Here are the steps you can take:

1. Review the Community Guidelines: Make sure you understand which specific guideline you have violated. The guidelines are available on the YouTube Help Center.

2. Check the strike details: In your YouTube Studio, go to the "Channel" tab and click "Status and features." You'll see details about the strike, including which video was flagged and the reason why.

3. File an appeal: If you believe that the strike was issued in error or you have taken corrective action to address the issue, you can file an appeal. To do so, click the "Appeal" button next to the strike details in YouTube Studio. You'll be asked to provide a brief explanation of why you think the strike was issued in error and what corrective action you have taken.

4. Wait for a response: YouTube will review your appeal and respond within a few days. If your appeal is successful, the strike will be removed from your channel. If your appeal is not successful, you can try again after 90 days.

Note that if you receive three community guidelines strikes within a 90-day period, your channel may be terminated. Therefore, it's important to follow the guidelines to avoid strikes in the first place.
