If you see a video that violates our What is Flagging?
Users report content that may violate YouTube's rules by flagging it. YouTube's rules are outlined in our Community Guidelines. YouTube staff review flagged videos 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When a video is reviewed and determined to violate our Community Guidelines we remove it.
Sometimes a video doesn’t violate our Community Guidelines, but may not be appropriate for everyone. These videos may be age-restricted. Accounts are penalized for Community Guidelines violations and serious or repeated violations can lead to account termination. If your account is terminated, you won’t be allowed to create any new accounts.
Flagged videos are not automatically taken down by the flagging system. If it doesn't violate the YouTube Community Guidelines, no amount of flagging will change that and your video will stay on the site. If you encourage others to attempt to flag a video off the site, your account may receive a penalty for harassment.

- Below the video player, click on the "Flag" button as shown above
- Move your cursor over the the "Select a reason" drop-down to see our flag menu
