[08:32] even see Arabic. You can choose to broadcast in Arabic, but if you want, you can make it English. What do you mean, English? If you want, make it English and add blood to it, and then do the broadcast. Now we will come add blood to it, and then do the broadcast. Now we will come to the partner. What are the partner requirements? In the beginning, the

[08:47] partner requirements are here in front of you, but let us explain them to you here in Arabic. Leave all this talk for later. I will explain to you here who is qualified. Here we will translate it for you into Arabic so that you understand. Okay, brothers, the first

[09:03] point. The condition is that you complete the path to becoming a partner, or demonstrate a high viewership or follower count and engagement with other services. Secondly, the content must comply with the content guidelines. We all know that those who become partners must be able to maintain the

[09:19] standards stipulated in the achievements on a consistent basis. This means that when you complete the conditions, you must be able to maintain the viewers.

[09:35] maintain this and grow it. Note that the percentage of viewers from hosts and raids is what it tells you. So, if someone raids you, or someone hosts you, or someone sends you viewers, then it doesn't count. It tells you, please note that completing the path to becoming a partner lists the

[09:52] minimum standards we look for in potential partners and does not guarantee completing them. What does this mean? It means that these are the conditions that have put you here. If you complete this first condition, you will be eligible as soon as you start. These are the conditions they'll tell you about. They'll tell you that even if you complete them

[10:09] perfectly, you might not become a partner. Why not? Because maybe you haven't generated enough engagement or you don't have enough viewers. If you have enough viewers, you can become a partner, but you need engagement. They'll give you a period, like a whole month, to review your channel.

[10:25] If they see your channel growing and providing good content, they'll give you a partner. providing good content, they'll give you a partner. If they see it's not growing or stagnating, they won't give you a partner. They'll tell you to continue and submit content again. Okay, what are the conditions?
