Revenue sharing eligibility FAQ
Usage terms are applied to a video when it's uploaded, so if your revenue sharing eligibility later changes from unrestricted to restricted usage, claims on the videos uploaded under unrestricted usage won't be changed. If you manually deactivate a license strategy, the videos that were sharing revenue before you deactivated the strategy aren't affected and will continue revenue sharing.
