YouTube Public watch hours showing less in Monetization area

[Purush]

Hello Friends,

In analytics we could see that watched hour showing as 3.4k hours for last one year but in monetization session it showing only 90 Hours as public watch hours. We never ran any campaign.

What would be the problem here.

I have checked the Youtube help session , this is what I found.

What does 'valid public watch hours' mean?

Not all watch hours count towards the YouTube Partner Programme threshold.

What counts as a valid public watch hour:

• Watch hours gained from videos that you've set public

Watch hours gained through the following types of video do not count towards the YPP threshold:

• Private videos
• Unlisted videos
• Deleted videos
• Ad campaigns
• Videos played from the 'Stories and short videos' shelf

But I dont know what is the exact reason for this huge mismatch in watch hours.

Those watch hours are likely from ads or shorts.

shorts don't count.

shorts don't count.

shorts means that they are referring short videos or any other term.

if you watch the traffic source, if you can see "shorts" as source, that doesn't count.

Check the watch time period again, the 4000 hours must be obtained within 12 months

Do most of your content fall under 60s?
If so, it could be viewed from shorts that won't necessarily account for overall watch hours.

thanks mate. Yes , I saw the source and it came as shorts. If we change the length of the video will help us.

Any suggestion, if we covert those short videos as bigger video will affect the results .

if people watch them, yes.
You need to get 4 000 hours of longer videos watched.

If I get 4000 hours today it will display in my analytics after 2 days.

I believe it takes around 2 days to update in the monetization tab.
