Despite the fact that 40 percent of YouTube videos are now played on mobile devices, a YouTube video is not automatically available to be shown on a phone or tablet.[1] There are two common problems that may keep your video from being shown on a device. The first is changing the monetization settings to include mobile devices, and the second is acknowledging the use of third-party content.

Steps

Making a Video Available on Mobile Platforms

  1. Ensure you have a YouTube account that is set up for monetization. If you aren’t a monetizing partner, then you won’t be able to use this method.
  2. Sign into your YouTube account. Go to your YouTube Channel. Look at a list of your videos, and find a video that says, “Not Available On Mobile” under it.
  3. Select the “Video Manager” link. View the list of videos. Find the video that you want to make available for mobile viewing.
  4. Click the “Edit” button next to the video. A larger version of the video with editing controls should pop up.
  5. Look for the tab that says “Basic Information” under the video. Click on “Monetization” in the next tab.
  6. Read through the monetization choices. Under the “Syndication” heading, choose “Everywhere” rather than “On Monetized Platforms.”
  7. Save your changes. The video should now be available on mobile devices.[2]

Making Video with Third-Party Content Available

  1. Sign into your YouTube Account. Go to your list of uploaded videos.
  2. Find a video that says “Matched Third Party Content.” This is the video you will need to fix.
    • YouTube uses special software to find copyrighted material on their site. They make videos with third-party content automatically unavailable on mobile devices. You will need to acknowledge the third-party content and dispute the settings.
  3. Click on “Video Manager” at the top of the page. Find the video that has third party content in this manager list.
  4. Click the “Matched Third Party Content” link. You will see the title of the content that YouTube believes you are using. Click the “Acknowledge” button to confirm you are using the content.
  5. Wait a few seconds for the page to reload. Then, click “Dispute” if you believe the song or movie is used in a legal way.
  6. Click a radio button that says, “My use of the content meets the legal requirements for fair use or fair dealing under applicable copyright laws.” Click “Continue.”
  7. Click the box that says “I’m sure my use of the content meets the legal requirements” and click “Continue.”
  8. Type the following into the text box under “Reason for dispute:” This video uses copyrighted material in a manner that does not require approval of the copyright holder. It is a fair use under copyright law.”
    • Not all uses fall under this heading, so ensure you are using the music or movie in a way that falls under it’s copyright.
  9. Check the box above “I have a good faith belief.” Type your name to use as your electronic signature. Select “Continue.”
  10. Press the button titled “Submit Dispute.” Click the pop-up box that confirms this submission.
  11. Wait a few days to see if your dispute was accepted. If you have used the third-party content legally, it will be approved for mobile devices soon.[3]
