YouTube account disabled (recovery)

This may have happened due to the following reasons –

Suspicious activity/login pattern
Repeated copyright violations
Pending verification of email or mobile number
Impersonating someone else
Trying to spam the platform
Sharing inappropriate things
Your account must have received multiple negative feedbacks & reports from users
Sending suspicious links, viruses or malware through the platform
Other reasons

If you believe that your YouTube account was disabled by mistake, you may submit an appeal through the app or website. Simply click on the ‘request review’ on the official website or app and wait for the response. If your account was disabled by mistake, it’ll be reinstated soon.

YouTube may even help you recover your account through verification of mobile number, asking you to identify friends in your friend-list or uploading your government issued identity card (for verifying that it is actually you, who is trying to access the account).

These challenges/recovery processes usually depend upon the reason why your account was banned or disabled in the first place. For example, if YouTube is suspicious about who is accessing the account, they will ask you to upload a government issued identity card. The final decision pertaining to your account rests on the shoulders of authorities reviewing accounts at YouTube.

YouTube account is hacked (recovery)

If your YouTube account has been hacked, follow these steps –

Reset your password as soon as possible
Enable two-factor authentication after changing your password
Scan for viruses, malware or spyware on all of your devices

If you are unable to reset your password, try to reset the password by receiving an OTP on your registered mobile number.
