Territories where you have ownership

If you own rights to a video only in specific territories, you may want to prevent viewers in those territories from viewing your video. To block a video in territories where you have ownership, you need to set up an upload policy.

Learn how to set up an upload policy

Upload policies allow you to create a partner-uploaded claim that tells YouTube to block your video in territories of your ownership. You can use the predefined policy to block worldwide or you can create a policy to specify where you want your video blocked.
