About YouTube Ban Checker
What is a YouTube Ban Checker?
A YouTube Ban Checker is a tool that verifies if a YouTube channel is publicly accessible or has been terminated. Channel termination is YouTube's most severe penalty, permanently removing all of a user's videos and their channel page. Our YouTube Ban Checker helps you quickly determine a channel's status, which is useful for creators checking their own standing or for users verifying the existence of a channel.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter Channel Identifier: Type or paste one or more YouTube channel identifiers into the input box. This can be a channel URL, a handle (e.g., @handle), or a channel ID (e.g., UC...).
- Start the Check: Click the "Check Accounts" button.
- View Results: Our YouTube Ban Checker will sort the inputs into "Active Channels" and "Terminated / Not Found," showing you the status of each.
Why Do YouTube Channels Get Terminated?
YouTube terminates channels for severe or repeated violations of its policies. The most common reasons are receiving three Community Guideline strikes or multiple copyright strikes. A single case of severe abuse, such as predatory behavior or spam, can also lead to immediate termination. Our YouTube Ban Checker can help diagnose if a channel has been removed for these reasons.
How to Appeal a Channel Termination
If you believe your channel was terminated in error, you can appeal the decision. You must use the channel termination appeal form. Do not submit multiple appeals. Provide as much detail as possible to support your case. If the termination was related to copyright strikes, you may need to resolve those claims directly with the copyright holders.
