If you feature branded content, sponsorships, endorsements, or other commercial relationships in your videos, you have to let YouTube know by selecting the paid promotion button in your video details. Selecting the paid promotion button adds a disclosure label that appears at the beginning of your video.
Your branded content must comply with YouTube’s Community Guidelines and Google Ads policies, with some exceptions where those policies may not be applicable to branded content. You and the partners you work with are also responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable legal requirements. For more details, review YouTube’s Branded Content Policy.
