Does YouTube remove reported videos?
We rely on YouTube community members to report, or flag content that they find inappropriate. Reporting content is anonymous, so other users can’t tell who made the report. When something is reported, it’s not automatically taken down. Content that violates our Community Guidelines is removed from YouTube.
What do you do if a YouTube video is removed?
Use the Community Guidelines strike basics to understand what content you can upload to YouTube — and avoid having additional content removed. If you believe your video was removed in error, you can appeal a Community Guidelines strike.

What happens if your YouTube dispute is denied?
After you appeal a rejected dispute, the copyright owner has 30 days to respond. If this happens, you’ll get a copyright strike on your account. If you still believe that you have the rights to the content, you can submit a counter notification.
How long does it take for YouTube to look at an appeal?
Human reviews can take up to 7 days. We strive to review as many videos as humanly possible, and as quickly and accurately as possible. Because we’re a platform that has hundreds of millions of videos, we have to set guidelines around which videos get reviewed first.
