What to write in a YouTube termination appeal.

The appeal form has limited space. Use it well.

Updated 13 November 2026

A strong YouTube termination appeal names the channel, states the policy from the email, explains in two or three sentences why it does not fit, and shows what kind of content the channel actually makes. Be specific and calm. Do not paste long legal text or threaten YouTube.

Name the policy

Use the wording from the email.

Show the channel

What you publish and for how long.

Be specific

Dates, video titles if relevant.

Structure

Channel name and URL.
The policy YouTube named.
Why it does not apply, in plain words.
What the channel is for and how long it has run.
A polite request to reinstate.

Example wording

Spam, deceptive practices and scams: “My channel publishes original cooking tutorials since 2019. I do not run giveaways or link to external offers. I believe the spam policy was applied by mistake, possibly after a hack attempt on [date].”
Linked channel: “The terminated channel you linked to mine is not mine; we share a household network. My channel has no strikes.”
Hacked: “My channel was hijacked on [date] and used to stream crypto scams. I have recovered and secured the Google Account.”

Avoid

Copy-paste templates from forums.
Arguing about other channels that “do worse”.
Promising things you cannot keep.

My name on Instagram was taken by some random inactive account, so I couldn't use it. Unbanz claimed it within a week, so if you need help with usernames, they're highly recommended.
