If you think you've found a video that violates their guidelines and you want to report it, it only takes a few clicks.
Go to the video you want to report.
Scroll down to the option just below the video title and uploader information. Click on the three dots ••• button.
Press the Report button.
Select the option that mostly closely describes your concerns. Your choices include: Sexual content Violent or repulsive content Hateful or abusive content Harmful dangerous acts Child abuse Spam or misleading Infringes my rights Captions report (CVAA)
Select the appropriate sub-reason (if needed) in the drop-down box. These options will appear once you've selected the main report reason.
Provide details if asked. Some reasons may require you to list the time in the video where the policy was violated in order for YouTube to identify the violation. They'll ask for a time stamp and any additional details in a text box. Fill in everything you know to complete your report as best you can.
Press REPORT. YouTube Staff reviews these reports around the clock to check for guideline violations. If the report is found to be valid, the video will likely be removed and the poster may be penalized or even have their account terminated.
