Ads may appear on your uploaded videos even if you haven’t monetized the videos yourself.
If your video contains content to which you don’t own all necessary rights, the rights holder may have chosen to place ads on it. YouTube may also place ads on videos in channels not in the YouTube Partner Program. Learn more on our blog.

The YouTube Partner Program is available in many countries/regions, allowing more creators to enable revenue sharing from ads. Visit the YouTube Partner Program overview page to see the benefits of the program and to learn how to become a partner and set up your channel for monetization.
