# YouTube Account Operation Guide

> Preparation, publishing, and daily operation tips for YouTube short drama channels.

This guide helps creators build YouTube short drama channels, standardize the publishing workflow, and continuously improve content performance through data.

## Content Risks and Copyright Notes

Common YouTube warnings fall into 3 categories: film/TV copyright, music copyright, and content health.

**Film/TV copyright:**

* Short drama videos can also be flagged by copyright detection. Every copyright issue must be handled, otherwise it affects YPP and, in severe cases, can get the channel banned.
* Before appealing, set the video status to **Unlisted**, not **Private** — in Private status you cannot check whether the appeal succeeded.
* Upload videos as drafts 1-2 days before publishing and watch the copyright and view status first; if the copyright issue is not cleared before publishing, replace the video or resolve it before publishing.
* YouTube copyright review is strict, and an account cannot be allowlisted as a whole. When a single video hits a copyright issue, you can submit one unblocking questionnaire.
* Add editing variation to short videos whenever possible; copyright issues on long videos are usually processed within 1-3 business days.

**Music copyright:**

* When a music copyright notice appears, it is recommended to remove the background music.
* Or replace it with YouTube's royalty-free music to avoid violations caused by music copyright.

**Content health:**

* Covers, topics, and visuals must not contain pornographic or violent content.
* Complete the channel description and video descriptions to reduce the risk of misclassification.

**Channel description and video descriptions:**

Include at least the following:

1. Officially licensed; infringement will be pursued.
2. The copyright holder's name, such as the theater name.
3. The channel type, such as male-oriented, female-oriented, sweet romance, time-travel, rebirth, etc.
4. Fiction disclaimer: the plots on this channel are purely fictional and created for artistic purposes. The plots, characters, and events do not represent reality; viewers should watch rationally, and minors should watch with a parent or guardian.

**Cover, title, and visual taboos:**

* Covers must not contain sexually suggestive or provocative imagery, such as caressing, kissing, nudity, or violence.
* Do not use covers showing a shirtless male lead, explicit exposure, coercive or suggestive tones, revealing clothing on the female lead, or two people interacting in bed.
* Titles must not contain sexually explicit or provocative content.
* If a video contains explicit, sexually exploitative, coercive, or shirtless-male footage, mask or delete it before uploading.
* Avoid using words like **free** or **full series** directly.

YouTube copyright is inherently strict, and accounts cannot be allowlisted as a whole, so every flagged video requires its own unblocking questionnaire. Try not to post short videos on YouTube: shorts barely convert and may not get copyright unblocked. Copyright issues on long videos are usually resolved within 1-3 business days after submission; if it stays unresolved, either it cannot be unblocked or the appeal was filled in incorrectly — do not resubmit repeatedly.

## Notes for Promoting Specific Theaters on YouTube

* KalosTV promotion on YouTube may only use dramas from the **YouTube drama list**.
* When appealing a DramaBox ban on YouTube, set the video to **Unlisted**, not **Private** — in Private status you cannot check whether the unblock succeeded.
* ShortMax does not distribute on YouTube; a separate application is required.
* When Boost publishes to YouTube, only self-produced drama videos under one minute (Shorts) are allowed; otherwise you may hit copyright issues and get banned with no recourse.
* MoboReels and SnackShort must not be published on YouTube.
