A pending YouTube Partner Program (YPP) application does not, by itself, stop an eligible channel from livestreaming. YouTube’s published requirements for livestream access do not list YPP approval as a prerequisite. Going live and being able to earn money from a live stream are separate matters.
What you need to livestream while your application is pending
YouTube’s livestream access requirements apply whether or not your YPP application has been approved. You need:
- A verified YouTube channel.
- No livestreaming restrictions on your channel in the preceding 90 days.
- To be at least 16 years old.
YouTube lists webcam, mobile, encoder, and console as ways to stream; mobile streaming has additional requirements. Check YouTube’s live-streaming requirements and setup guidance for the method you plan to use. YouTube can restrict livestream access, and live content must follow its Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.
Can you earn money from that livestream?
Do not assume that a pending application makes your live stream eligible for YPP revenue. Pending means YouTube has not yet accepted the channel into the program. YouTube describes live-stream ad revenue, memberships, Super Chat, and related options as monetization features available through YPP, subject to eligibility and setup. See its YPP eligibility guidance and live-stream monetization information.
#1 Best Overall
- Compatible with Nintendo Switch 2’s new GameChat mode
- Auto-Light Balance: RightLight boosts brightness by up to 50%, reducing shadows so you look your best—compared to previous-generation Logitech webcams (1)
- Privacy with a Slide: The integrated webcam cover makes it easy to get total, reliable privacy when you're not on a video call
- Built-In Mic: The built-in microphone lets others hear you clearly during video calls
- Easy Plug-And-Play: The Brio 101 works with most video calling platforms, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet—no hassle; it just works
In practical terms, you may be able to broadcast while the application is under review, but livestream access alone does not grant YPP revenue features. YouTube’s documentation treats access to live streaming and eligibility for monetization separately.
Keep following monetization policies during review
YouTube reviews the channel as a whole, using automated systems and human reviewers to assess whether it follows the applicable policies and guidelines. Its channel monetization policies apply to creators seeking to join YPP. YouTube also explicitly says that “video” in those policies includes live streams, as well as Shorts and long-form videos.

That means a livestream is not outside the review simply because it is live or because the application is pending. Make sure your live content complies with YouTube’s policies while you wait.
What pending YPP status means for the application
To apply, complete the steps shown in YouTube Studio, including accepting the YPP terms and linking an active AdSense for YouTube account. After signup, the channel enters a review queue. YouTube says it typically responds in about one month, but this is an estimate, not a guaranteed deadline; application volume, system issues, resource limits, or additional review can cause delays. Check the current YPP overview and application guidance for status and requirements.
