Can you watch your own videos for watch time?
YouTube only considers PUBLIC watch time as watch time. That means if you set the privacy of one of your videos as unlisted or private. You could get a million hours of watch time, and it wouldn’t count! Keep that in mind when you upload your videos onto YouTube!
Why won’t YouTube let me watch my own videos?
If you consistently can’t get a video to play, it’s probably a problem with JavaScript or Flash, technologies that YouTube uses to make its site work. If you have JavaScript disabled, you won’t be able to watch any YouTube videos. If it’s a Flash problem, you will be able to watch some videos, but not others.
Does watching your own video on YouTube help?
Pretty simple! If you play your own video, that will be counted as a view. If a viewer watches your video more than once, each screening will be counted as a new view. Any views that take place with embedded Youtube videos or Youtube videos shared on Facebook will also be counted.
Can I watch my own YouTube videos after monetization?
YouTube pays you only for getting viewers and you get paid when viewers on your channel watch ads displayed. Even if your channel is monetized through watching your own videos you will lose your YouTube partnership after less than a few months.
Can I watch my own videos to get 4000 watch hours?
For the 4,000 hours of Watch Time to count, your videos have to be public. So that means you can’t do a live stream on YouTube and then set it to unlisted and expect all those watch hours to count. Also, any videos you’ve deleted or set to private won’t contribute to the 4,000 hours.

What age is the age restriction on YouTube?
13 or older
YouTube, and other tech companies like Facebook and Snapchat, bar children under the age of 13 from using their services because of COPPA. The platform says in its terms of service that it’s not for kids; users must be 13 or older. It has a separate platform, YouTube Kids, for family-friendly content.
