To check monetization on YouTube in mobile, you need to use the YouTube Studio app, not the main YouTube app. This lets you quickly see which of your videos are monetized (green icon), not monetized (red/gray icon), or limited (yellow icon) while you are on the go.
How to check monetization on YouTube in mobile: Introduction
The monetization status of your videos is checked in the YouTube Studio app on your phone. The main YouTube app does not have this specific filter. The filter lets you view three status categories: Monetized, Not monetized, and Limited. This is especially useful when you want to review ad eligibility quickly without opening a computer. For more YouTube mobile tips, remember that the Studio app is your primary tool for managing your channel from your phone.
Step 1: Open the YouTube Studio app
- iPhone and iPad: Open the YouTube Studio app from your home screen or app library.
- Android: Open the YouTube Studio app from your app drawer or home screen.
Step 2: Go to your content
Tap the Content tab at the bottom of the screen. This will show you a list of all your uploaded videos.
Step 3: Tap "Monetization"
Near the top of the Content screen, locate and tap the Monetization filter.
Step4: Check your monetization status
You will see three options to choose from:
- Monetized, shows videos with green icons.
- Not monetized, shows videos with red and gray icons.
- Limited, shows videos with yellow icons.
Select the status you want to check, then tap Apply. The video list will update to show only videos with that status.
