On January 5, 2022, we’re updating our Terms of Service (“Terms”) to help
clarify and make it easier to understand what to expect as you use the
service. These changes won’t affect the way you use YouTube. You can review
a summary of the changes and the updated Terms here
<notifications.google.com/g/p/AD-FnExuGNYr92nOYhll58gwKeNXz23KfDOj8BbDpVswFFGdWh9MPatGLEZlnPxqO_9tvITMx8GHxQp-Wv-jNGx8d8U_nXVnHL04esFMokVrgMQVk6HKZE3xN1sj6uLvxKqDLpNW>.
At a glance, this update covers:
* More clarity on what to expect: We’re providing more transparency about
how we develop, improve, and update our service, including more detail
about the reasons we make changes and updates, and the advanced notice we
provide to you.
* General updates for improved readability: While our Terms remain a legal
document, we’ve done our best to make them easier to understand. This
includes reorganizing some sections (such as Account Suspension and
Termination) and rewording others (such as Changing this Agreement).
* Inclusion of the Community Guidelines strikes process: Your use of
YouTube has always been subject to the Community Guidelines and its strikes
process, but we’re now explicitly including the Community Guidelines
strikes

information in the Terms to increase transparency. There are no changes to
how Community Guidelines strikes operate, or when a channel or content
might receive a strike.
