Updates to YouTube's Terms of Service

 

On 5 January 2022, we're updating our Terms of Service ("Terms") to help clarify and make it easier to understand what to expect as you use the service. These changes won't affect the way you use YouTube. You can review a summary of the changes and the updated Terms here.

 

At a glance, this update covers:

  • More clarity on what to expect: We're providing more transparency about how we develop, improve and update our service, including more details about why we make changes and updates and the advanced notice that we provide to you.
  • General updates for improved readability: While our Terms remain a legal document, we've done our best to make them easier to understand. This includes reorganising some sections (such as Account Suspension and Termination) and rewording others (such as Changing this Agreement).
  • Inclusion of the Community Guidelines strikes process: Your use of YouTube has always been subject to the Community Guidelines and its strikes process, but we're now explicitly including the Community Guidelines strikes information in the Terms to increase transparency. There are no changes to how Community Guidelines strikes operate, or when a channel or content might receive a strike.
 

Please make sure that you read the updates to the Terms. By continuing to use YouTube after this date, you are agreeing to the updated Terms. Note: If you allow your child to use YouTube Kids or manage your child's use of YouTube through Family Link, take a moment to talk to them about these changes.

 

Thank you for being part of our global community!
