First, open up your desktop browser and visit YouTube&#8217;s settings page. You&#8217;ll find various options, including community guidelines and copyright status. You&#8217;ll also see an option for verification. Next, click the link below your channel name. If you&#8217;re still not sure where to start, follow the steps listed below. You&#8217;ll soon be on your way to becoming a verified YouTube user.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_getting_verified_on_youtube\"><\/span>Benefits of getting verified on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting verified on YouTube has a variety of benefits, including ensuring that your videos are uploaded and that the channel is operated by a human. You can upload videos longer than 15 minutes, customize thumbnails, and earn monetary benefits. The verification badge appears next to your channel&#8217;s name and declares that you are responsible for the content you upload. Getting verified on YouTube is a relatively easy process. YouTube responds to applications within 24 hours. The process is both automated and manual, depending on the content on your channel.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the visual benefits of getting verified on YouTube, you&#8217;ll also benefit from an enhanced credibility. YouTube verification badges are easy to spot because they feature a grey tick next to your channel name. While this might seem like a minor benefit, it can make a huge difference when it comes to building your channel&#8217;s audience. However, it&#8217;s important to remember that getting verified doesn&#8217;t mean you can abuse it. YouTube reserves the right to revoke any verified account for any violation of its rules or terms. If you violate YouTube&#8217;s terms of service, you risk losing your badge. Likewise, if you violate the community rules, you risk losing your verification badge altogether.<\/p>\n<p>After getting verified, you should follow YouTube&#8217;s guidelines for submitting videos. Once you&#8217;ve provided a valid phone number, YouTube will send you a text message confirming the verification. If you don&#8217;t receive a text message, check your settings to make sure that your phone number is verified. If it doesn&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll have to confirm the verification with Google. You can also get your channel name verified by uploading videos to YouTube with your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_for_getting_verified_on_youtube\"><\/span>Requirements for getting verified on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to be verified on YouTube, you need to have more than 100,000 subscribers, represent a real brand or creator, and have an active channel. The rules for getting verified on YouTube have changed since October. To be eligible for getting the badge, your channel must have 100,000 subscribers, a publicly visible icon, a description, and associated content. To get verified on YouTube, you must be active and not violate YouTube policies.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to get verified on YouTube, you must have a minimum of 100,000 subscribers. It may be possible to get verified even without a million subscribers. YouTube will verify your channel to make sure it&#8217;s authentic and complete. To get verified, you must also follow copyright laws, YouTube Community Guidelines, and Terms of Service. Once you&#8217;ve been verified on YouTube, you cannot change your channel name, but you can apply again for the verification badge if you change your mind.<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve received the badge, you need to follow the requirements for verification. You must have a verified account with 100k subscribers or more. You can also get verified if you&#8217;re a public figure outside of YouTube, such as a celebrity or musician. YouTube makes exceptions for these public figures, but you can still apply. The requirements for getting verified on YouTube vary, but they&#8217;re generally simple and can be met.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_for_getting_a_verification_badge\"><\/span>Requirements for getting a verification badge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The requirements for getting a YouTube verification badge are pretty simple, but there are still some requirements that you need to meet in order to obtain this status. Previously, getting the badge was considered a form of brand identity and content endorsement, but this requirement has since been removed. To get the badge, you need a YouTube channel with at least 100,000 subscribers, an active profile, and a description and associated content.<\/p>\n<p>The first requirement is to have at least one hundred subscribers. Until you reach this threshold, it may be a challenge to build up your fan base. Besides, you have to consistently post quality content, because good content is what drives your audience. You also have to post videos frequently, as this will help you keep your subscribers engaged. You can get verified by doing a few things, but you need to be dedicated and consistent.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a celebrity or have a well-known figure, you might be eligible for a YouTube verification badge. You must have at least 100k subscribers in order to get verified, but you can also opt to be manually verified if you have more than 100k subscribers. After all, YouTube has changed its policy on verification, so you have to be patient. You should be patient, as it may take a while to get verified.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"454\" height=\"254\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uPTj9hUsZ58\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Get Verified on YouTube?
