Ads may appear on your uploaded videos even if you havenât monetized the videos yourself.
If your video contains content to which you donât own all necessary rights, the rights holder may have chosen to place ads on it. YouTube may also place ads on videos in channels not in the YouTube Partner Program. Learn more on our blog.
