Manage restrictions on your content

Restrictions may prevent viewers from watching your videos or seeing your Community posts. Restrictions could also impact video monetization when you’re in the YouTube Partner program. For example, a video might not be appropriate for viewers under 18 or there could be a pending copyright issue.
