The process is simple: you select the video, click &#8220;actions,&#8221; then click the sign of a pen. Next, click &#8220;delete.&#8221; You&#8217;re all set to delete that video. In the meantime, here are the other ways to remove videos on YouTube. Read on to learn more about each.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives_to_deleting_a_video_on_youtube\"><\/span>Alternatives to deleting a video on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re not sure how to delete a video on YouTube, you can report it to the website that hosts it. Usually, this will be a hassle-free way to request removal, but there are also other alternatives. In some cases, a video may contain personal information that&#8217;s not appropriate for the internet. If you don&#8217;t want to deal with that problem, you can simply leave the video private or hide it.<\/p>\n<p>Deleted videos will no longer be searchable on YouTube, but the data associated with them will remain on the site. They will appear in aggregate reports, but no one will be able to view them. There are ways to manage multiple videos at once and delete all of them, such as using a computer. Other ways to delete a video include trimming and adding cards to your video. If you&#8217;d prefer not to reveal your video&#8217;s URL, you can also choose to delete it privately.<\/p>\n<p>The first option is to download the video before deleting it. However, this option has several drawbacks. It will also remove the video&#8217;s views and statistics. If you&#8217;re worried that your video may be removed from YouTube, you can always contact the content owner. They may say that their video is &#8220;copyright free&#8221;, but this is not always the case. Depending on the specific circumstances, this may not be possible, but the alternative is worth a try.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Copyright_takedown_request\"><\/span>Copyright takedown request<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How can I request a takedown of a video on YouTube? There are several ways to do this. First, you must contact YouTube. They will send you an email with a reason for removing your video. If the video was not uploaded by you, your account will not be affected. You can also remove it from other services, such as Google or other video sharing sites. The email will be sent to your spam folder.<\/p>\n<p>If your video contains copyrighted material, you can dispute the claim by filling out the built-in form. Next, you must choose an option to download a copyright license certificate. Make sure you choose &#8216;License&#8217;, since it&#8217;s not the default option. If your video contains a sound clip, you must also choose a different sound clip. You will need to provide this license certificate to the website requesting the takedown.<\/p>\n<p>The counter-notification can be submitted by email or through the copyright notice page in your Video Manager. YouTube will review the Counter-Notification and forward it to the claimant. Once this process is complete, you can re-upload the video or contact the content owner to request its removal. However, please note that your name and physical address will not be publicly displayed. This is for your privacy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flagging_tool_on_youtube\"><\/span>Flagging tool on youtube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve posted a video on YouTube and you&#8217;d like it removed, there are several ways to do it. Using the flagging tool on YouTube will notify YouTube of the content in question. YouTube will ask for additional information to determine whether the video needs to be removed or not. Then they will work to remove the video. If necessary, you can request the removal of a video through the YouTube legal link.<\/p>\n<p>In the first week of the program, YouTube said it received 1.1 million videos flagged as inappropriate by a member of its Trusted Flagger program. The program has access to the UK Counter-Terrorism Unit, which flags videos that violate community guidelines. YouTube has a list of content that violates the UK Terrorism Act and bans videos containing such content. YouTube also has a program that gives YouTube employees access to the trust flagger program. The program is currently invite-only, but interested users can express their interest by filling out a form on Google&#8217;s Trusted Flagger support page.<\/p>\n<p>The process for deleting a video through the flagging tool on YouTube is straightforward and anonymous. YouTube will evaluate the videos according to their policies. Unless the flagging tool has accumulated thousands of flags, a video will still undergo a review by the YouTube content review team. If a video has accumulated enough flags, it may get more scrutiny than usual, but YouTube will not delete a video due to the high number of flags.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Delete a Video on YouTube If you&#8217;re looking for a way to delete a video on YouTube, this article is for you.
