Does YouTube prevent monetization of gameplay videos?

Does YouTube prevent monetization of gameplay videos of games made with RPGMaker?


YouTube often disables monetization on anything they think has copyright protection, so maybe the RTP or RPGMaker musics may trip this...


Anyone has any experience on this?

I've moved this thread to Commercial RPGMaker Discussion. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

I'm going to say, it depends.


Are you using the RTP or custom resources? 


Because if everyone is using the same resources and monetizing there will be automatic copyright strikes, so I'd go with custom resources to prevent this.


Also, RPG Maker is just a tool like Godot, Game Maker, and so on.

I don't know how it would work with Rpg Maker but you can usually monetize all gameplay videos without permission (according to YouTube and Google) if your gameplay commentary adds instructional or educational value, as a sportscaster. Some software houses don't allow monetization though so at the end it depends, make some researches about it, there should be a specific wiki about allowing monetization on gameplay videos.
