ARE ALL GAMES MONETIZE ON YOUTUBE?
Some videos games can be monetized and some cannot be monetized. Monetized video games content depends on the commercial use rights granted to you by licenses of video game publishers. Some videos games publishers allow you to use all video game content for commercial use and state that in their license agreements.
One of the requirements to monetize videos showing software user interface is that you must have a contract with the publisher or you have paid a licensing fee. Failure to pay licensing fee or not getting appropriate license from the publisher, use of videos games or software interface must be minimal.
Video game content may be monetized if the associated step-by-step commentary is strictly tied to the live action being shown and provides instructional or educational value.
Videos simply showing a user playing a video game or the use of software for extended periods of time may not be accepted for monetization. To learn more about obtaining commercial use rights to third party content, please review how to read licenses to understand your rights and what YouTube looks for in your documentation.
