How Can You Confirm If Your YouTube Videos Are Monetized?

I recently joined the YouTube Partner Program and I'm trying to figure out how to confirm if my videos are actually monetized. I heard it can take a few days for the revenue tab to update, but it's been almost a week with no changes. What steps do I need to follow to check if my videos are monetized?

It's essential to confirm that you've met the requirements for monetization, which typically means having at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months. If you only meet the criteria for the lower threshold (500 subscribers and 3,000 watch hours), your monetization options will be limited to features like Super Chats and channel memberships.

You also need to ensure that you've filled out all the necessary information in your AdSense account. Only after you complete this step can you activate monetization, which will allow the green dollar sign to appear next to your videos in the Content tab.

Once you become a partner, the first thing you need to do is access the 'Earn' tab in YouTube Studio. Monetization doesn't turn on automatically; you have to manually enable ad revenue for your videos, whether they're shorts or long-form content. Make sure to check that you've selected the right options.
