We’ve simplified the choices for ad formats that show before or after your video to improve creator revenue. We’ve removed the individual ad choices for pre-roll, post-roll, skippable, and non-skippable ads. Now, when you turn on ads for new long-form videos, we show your viewers pre-roll, post-roll, skippable, or non-skippable ads when appropriate. This change makes the recommended best practice to turn on all ad formats, the standard for everyone. Your choices for mid-roll ads haven’t changed. We’ve also retained your ad choices for existing long-form videos, unless you change the monetization settings.
You can turn off monetization for any videos you've already uploaded.
- Go to YouTube Studio.
- In the left menu, select Content.
- Next to the relevant video, click Monetization .
- Click Off in the monetization drop-down menu.
- Click Save.
