Hello, I am trying to get the badges for videos as well, so when I am at a place that I will review, I try to make small video along with it. However, since 7-8 months or so, not a single video I made gets accepted! I keep getting the warning that it would go ‘against the google policy’, while the videos are perfectly normal. Any idea how to solve this?
Hello @Iris240197 , it’s difficult to give you a blanket answer. I would suggest posting one of your videos here , there are many of us that have contributed many videos. maybe we could help.
Hi @Iris240197,
There could be some violations against the policy. Please go through them in detail.
In addition, please follow the step as suggested by @TerryPG here to address your specific case.
Hi @Iris240197 , welcome back to Connect
As far as I can see your last video was uploaded 12 hours ago, and is visible.
I am very familiar with the scary message we get in the EU about our videos that are against policies, and I can tell you that in most cases it is just a “false positive”. The message appears during the video verification process, and usually disappears after the video is accepted.
My advice is to not delete the video. Wait at least 24 hours to see if it is published.
The incorrect message has already been reported to Google, and some improvements have already been made: if the video is attached to a review, the review now displays the message “pending”, until the verification process is completed.
Clicking on (i) will give you the explanation: Reviews go through automated checks before being posted publicly. Timelines can vary.
Just wait and see. Normally after the check the video is published
It might be due to violation of policy @Iris240197 . Will get approved eventually
Wow you are right! After it was showing again ‘against policy’, I didn’t do anything and went to this forum. Normally out of disappointment, I had already deleted the video again. Now that you said you saw it approved I went back and the video was indeed showing!
Thank you for confirming, @Iris240197 .
Sometimes we just need to be patient.
As your issue seems to be fixed, I am flagging my previous reply as the solution for this topic, for others with the same issue to be informed that one of the possible reasons is just the verification process.
Have a nice day
