Ads may appear on your uploaded videos even if you haven't monetised 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 that are not in the YouTube Partner Programme. Learn more on our blog.

The YouTube Partner Programme is available in many countries/regions, allowing more creators to turn on revenue sharing from ads. To see the benefits of the programme, visit the YouTube Partner Programme overview page. You can also learn how to become a partner and set up your channel for monetisation.
