New Monetization Requirements for Faceless channels is Out (start February 2026) Take Note‼️

[00:00] YouTube has been rolling out new

[00:01] monetization requirements for 2026. And

[00:03] one of the recent monetization

[00:05] requirements that have been rolled back

[00:07] in into YouTube monetization is now the

[00:09] pin verification. Pin verification is

[00:12] now compulsory for anyone who is going

[00:14] to be applying for YouTube monetization

[00:16] in 2026. As of early last year, 2025,

[00:20] pin verification was an option when it

[00:22] comes to Google AdSense. When I was

[00:24] applying for my YouTube monetization

[00:26] back in 2025, I did not do any form of

[00:30] in verification and that was because I

[00:32] choose the online verification which is

[00:35] a 10-minute verification you do just to

[00:37] avoid the pin verification. I did that

[00:40] and my application was successful. As of

[00:43] late January 2026, pin verification is

[00:46] now compulsory for anyone who is

[00:49] applying for YouTube monetization. I

[00:51] noticed this because of all my student I

[00:53] have been guiding in applying for

[00:55] YouTube monetization. All of my students

[00:57] I guide in applying for YouTube

[00:59] monetization starting from the late

[01:01] January 2026 up until this date I've

[01:05] been asked to do pin verification. Pin

[01:08] verification is now compulsory for

[01:10] anyone who is applying for YouTube

[01:12] monetization for the first time. So,

[01:14] starting from February 2026, as long as

[01:17] you're applying for YouTube monetization

[01:19] or as long as you're opening a Google

[01:21] AdSense account for the first time,

[01:24] you'll be asked to do pin verification

[01:27] is not a compulsory um policy that you

[01:30] have to do for you to move forward.

[01:32] Right now, in as much as you do the

[01:35] online verification, maybe some of you

[01:37] still will still go and choose 10 minute

[01:38] verification. In as much you still

[01:40] choose 10 minutes online verification.

[01:42] After your 10 minutes online

[01:44] verification, you will still be asked to

[01:47] do pin verification starting from

[01:49] February 2026 is now mandatory for

[01:52] anyone that will be applying for YouTube

[01:55] monetization. Now, some of you guys

[01:56] might not know this. Why Google AdSense

[01:58] always request for verification be the

[02:01] online verification or the pin

[02:02] verification which has now been brought

[02:05] back into Google AdSense. why they

[02:07] always request for verification is so

[02:09] that they make sure that the person they

[02:11] are interacting with is actually not a

[02:13] robot. That is why when you're doing

[02:15] that your online verification they

[02:17] usually tell you turn towards the left

[02:19] slowly and turn towards the right slowly

[02:21] so that they know that they actually not

[02:24] um relating to a robot. they actually

[02:26] relating to a physical person right now

[02:29] with the whole AI thing going on on the

[02:32] internet right AI can now do videos of

[02:35] people turning towards the camera slowly

[02:38] turning towards the left right hand

[02:39] slowly so that pin verification has been

[02:43] brought back into verification for

[02:46] Google AdSense so that that way they

[02:48] know they are going to be sending a pin

[02:49] to a postal office to your address and

[02:53] that way you are going to pick up that

[02:54] pin and then fill in that being on your

[02:56] computer. That way they know they

[02:58] actually interacting with a physical

[03:01] human being because trust me AI can do

[03:03] the same thing under online

[03:05] verification. I've seen a video of AI

[03:08] doing turn towards the left slowly and

[03:10] turn towards the right slowly. So the

[03:12] only way they can cut off that bridge in

[03:14] terms of knowing if these are physical

[03:16] people or if this is just an AI

[03:19] generated people is by sending pin to

[03:22] your mailing address. That's why pin

[03:24] verification is now brought back into

[03:27] Google AdSense verification. So now

[03:29] after doing your online verification

[03:31] which is a 10-minute verification you do

[03:33] in Google AdSense you do the facial

[03:35] verification after doing that facial

[03:37] verification you'll still be requested

[03:40] to do a pin verification so that that

[03:43] way Google AdSense actually know that

[03:46] they are relating to a real woman being

[03:49] that's just why they brought back pin

[03:51] verification into monetization again. So

[03:54] now moving on to the second requirement

[03:56] that was rolled out for YouTube

[03:57] monetization for 2026 is now the dual

[04:00] account suspension. Now let me repeat

[04:03] this again is now the dual account

[04:06] suspension. What does this mean? This

[04:08] actually means that if for example you

[04:11] have two YouTube channel on a mobile

[04:25] mobile phone, right? And channel A

[04:29] actually have a an issue with their

[04:32] monetization or with reuse content or

[04:35] something relating to that. For example,

[04:37] channel A in the same phone, right? You

[04:40] are still the owner of the account have

[04:42] issue with reuse content. If that issue

[04:45] was not treated or if that issue was not

[04:48] treat is going to affect your channel B

[04:52] right let's say for example I have two

[04:54] YouTube accounts on my phone right I run

[04:57] two YouTube channels right maybe I run

[04:59] this YouTube channel and I run a

[05:01] faceless YouTube channel for example if

[05:04] my faceless YouTube channel had an issue

[05:07] and I was not able to resolve that issue

[05:09] there's 100% chances that my main

[05:12] YouTube channel is going to get

[05:14] suspended ended because of my first

[05:16] YouTube account. That is what is going

[05:18] on on YouTube now. So any of you that

[05:21] have two YouTube accounts on your mobile

[05:23] phone, it's advisable you use one device

[05:27] for a different YouTube account and use

[05:29] another device for a different YouTube

[05:31] account. This is something that is going

[05:32] on currently on YouTube. I've seen this

[05:35] happen to a student of mine, right?

[05:37] That's why I'm actually sharing this

[05:39] right now. So never you in any

[05:42] circumstances give your email address

[05:45] that is linked to your YouTube account

[05:47] to another person right because if that

[05:50] person's account has an issue your

[05:54] account because your account has been lo

[05:57] there's 100% chances that your account

[05:59] is also going to get issues right that's

[06:02] why where YouTube always tell people

[06:05] like people who have reused content

[06:07] YouTube always give a statement that if

[06:09] the issue on this account is not

[06:11] resolved, there's 100% chances and

[06:13] there's 100% likely that the other

[06:15] accounts relating to this device is

[06:18] going to be getting affected. So never

[06:20] in any situation give your YouTube

[06:22] account to anybody, right? They should

[06:26] log it on their they should log in in on

[06:28] their mobile phone because if that

[06:30] person YouTube account has an issue is

[06:32] 100% chances that your account is also

[06:34] going to have an issue. Right? So most

[06:37] of my students I've been working through

[06:39] I've been working with we have not I've

[06:41] not been doing anything relating to

[06:43] that. So all I do is that we do on a

[06:45] video call and I guide you on what to

[06:47] do. So I don't do any form of um give me

[06:50] your email, your password and I log into

[06:52] my computer. I don't do that. I do it by

[06:56] either any dex or WhatsApp. Right? So

[06:59] never in any circumstances share your

[07:01] YouTube email address or give it to

[07:03] someone to login into their device

[07:06] because if that person's account have

[07:08] issue for example your account because

[07:12] your account has been logged into that

[07:14] phone is 100% likely if that person's

[07:17] account was not resolved with the issue

[07:19] the person is having and the account was

[07:21] terminated there's 100% chances that

[07:23] your account will also be terminated.

[07:26] That's the new policy going on on

[07:28] YouTube, right? I'm going to be leaving

[07:30] a statement in terms of reuse content.

[07:32] One of my students account, right? So

[07:34] that's why they always if you see people

[07:35] that have reused content or inauthentic

[07:38] content, they always state there that if

[07:40] this channel was app was not successful

[07:42] or something, it's 100% likely that

[07:44] other channel related to this device is

[07:47] always going to have issue or suspension

[07:49] issue. So that's something you should

[07:51] take note in 2025. Never you in any

[07:54] circumstances give anybody your YouTube

[07:57] account to log into the different device

[08:00] because that person's account might have

[08:02] issue in the future and because your

[08:04] account has been logged in into that

[08:06] device is going to affect your account

[08:08] in the future. So these are just the two

[08:11] new updates that have been rolled out on

[08:13] YouTube recently. Now I always advise

[08:15] students if you know you cannot apply

[08:17] for your YouTube monetization by

[08:18] yourself and you do not want to make any

[08:21] mistake in your application now that pin

[08:24] verification is now compulsory is always

[08:27] advisable you reach out to someone who

[08:29] you know that can actually guide you to

[08:32] apply for your YouTube monetization now

[08:34] because once your pin has been sent to

[08:37] your address three times and you could

[08:40] not get that pin or get the postal

[08:42] office or something that your account

[08:44] will stop showing ad.

[08:47] Right? And some of you might not know

[08:49] doing your online verification where you

[08:51] do where you turn your face towards the

[08:53] left where you turn your face towards

[08:54] the right. If your online verification

[08:56] was not successful up to five times that

[09:00] verification will closed from your

[09:02] AdSense account. I've seen it happen in

[09:04] a student account. Right? So you always

[09:06] have five times to try your online

[09:09] verification. If you try your online

[09:11] verification five times and it was not

[09:13] successful, your online verification

[09:15] will automatically closed.

[09:19] Right? I've seen this happen for a

[09:21] YouTube a YouTube student, right? So

[09:24] that is something you guys should take

[09:25] note of. So you guys should be careful

[09:27] for YouTube 2026. YouTube is not smiling

[09:30] in 2026. I feel like in 2026, YouTube

[09:33] might actually roll out new monetization

[09:36] um updates concerning maybe um their

[09:38] monetization requirements being 2,000

[09:41] subscribers or 5,000 um watch hour. I'm

[09:44] I'm very certain that that might happen

[09:46] in the future because a lot of people

[09:49] are getting into YouTube monetization.

[09:51] That's why pin verification is back into

[09:53] YouTube monetization because that pin

[09:55] verification they always want to make

[09:57] sure that they actually relating to a

[09:59] real woman being pin verification is now

[10:03] brought back into monetization. So a lot

[10:05] of you has to be careful concerning the

[10:07] kind of content you post containing the

[10:10] kind of things you say in your videos

[10:11] concerning the kind of um videos you

[10:13] create

[10:15] AI related video. If you create AI

[10:18] related video, the setting that that

[10:21] video is authentic is not that you go

[10:23] and copy um a a a story from somewhere

[10:27] and then create a video about it. They

[10:29] are still going to find out that that is

[10:31] not your original work. So you need to

[10:33] be careful for YouTube 2026. YouTube is

[10:37] not smiling. Trust me, a lot of accounts

[10:40] have been deleted. A lot of account has

[10:42] been suspended. A lot is still getting

[10:45] suspended. A lot of students have been

[10:47] reaching out to me for suspension

[10:48] accounts, for reuse content, all those

[10:51] kind of things. So, you need to be

[10:52] careful in the things you do on your

[10:54] channel in 2026. A lot of people are

[10:57] getting accepted into the platform. A

[10:59] lot of people are also getting kicked

[11:01] out into the platform. So, you need to

[11:03] be very careful on the things you do on

[11:06] your channel. Like I said, for any of

[11:08] you that want to um get your PIN faster

[11:11] in your postal office, there's actually

[11:13] a way you can put in your phone number

[11:15] so that it appears when your PIN arrive

[11:18] in the postal office. So that once they

[11:20] see your phone number there, the postal

[11:22] um officers can actually call you to

[11:24] come and picking your PIN. So you can

[11:25] actually reach out to me on Instagram

[11:27] for me to guide you on how to do that.

[11:29] So that your PIN once you get to postal

[11:31] office, they can call you to come and

[11:33] pick up your pin. So yeah, that's it

[11:35] about this video. I just wanted to share

[11:37] new YouTube monetization requirement for

[11:40] 2026. This is what is going on in 2026.

[11:43] YouTube is not smiling. If one of your

[11:45] accounts have issue is likely that other

[11:48] accounts that you operate on are 100% to

[11:51] have issues. So this is what is going on

[11:53] on YouTube. So, if this video was

[11:55] helpful to you, don't forget to give me

[11:56] a thumbs up and don't forget that you
