YouTube account suspended wrongly? Now to get it back?
If you believe that your channel was terminated in error, then you can appeal the suspension of YouTube account. If you see the following page when trying to log into your suspended channel, then you should click on the ‘contact us’ link which is at the lower portion of the page.
Upon clicking on that link you’ll see the following page which has the appeal form for suspension of YouTube accounts:
This page has the url:
https://support.google.com/accounts/contact/suspended?p=youtube
Info you need to provide in the form to appeal the suspension of YouTube account
In order to get to the ‘appeal submit’ page now, simply copy the above link text and paste it into the address bar of your web browser. You can also click on the link directly, it is supposed to open the page in a new tab.
While filling the form, firstly give your full official name, the gmail address you use to log into your suspended channel and also any email that you have currently access to. Even if YouTube terminated your channel, you should still have access to the associated gmail. So you can provide this particular gmail address in both the gaps, unless you don’t use it too frequently to exchange emails.
After this you’ll need to provide the url of your suspended channel. This is mandatory to appeal the suspension of YouTube account. In case you didn’t know how to find this url, feel free to click on the following link to read the article which describes how you can always find the url of your terminated channel.
YouTube channel url: How to find it and custom url
Language that you should use if you’re appealing for the first time
Lastly you need to briefly explain why you think your channel was suspended in error. You can be using a language like the following.
‘Dear YouTube,
I believe my channel was suspended in error, because I never violated any copyright or community guidelines. Some users must have flagged my videos/channel randomly and improperly. So please review into my case and unsuspend/reinstate my channel and oblige me thereby.
Yours sincerely
(Your official name).’
Then you can hit the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
Be sure to wait at least 3/4 days before you can appeal the suspension of YouTube account again. You may do so in case you thought your first appeal didn’t reach YouTube team for some unknown reason.
When it is appropriate to confess your faults
If you receive a reply saying that ‘We have decided to keep your account suspended based on community guidelines‘, then nevertheless you can appeal again. This time don’t feel shy to confess your faults if you committed any. Assume that you really violated some of YouTube’s community guidelines (like stuffing the description of some videos with irrelevant keywords), feel free to confess those violations in a language like below:
‘ Dear YouTube,
I am extremely sorry that I might have violated some of YouTube’s community guidelines, that’s why my channel has been suspended. Would you please pardon me only this once and give me my channel back? If you do, I promise you that I will never violate any of YouTube’s guidelines/TOS again. You can even delete those videos that violated YouTube’s community guidelines.
Best regards.
(Your official name).’
If you appeal the suspension of YouTube account in a language like this, you might get your channel back; although the chance is really very slim. Some YouTubers claim to have their channel back after repeated appeals/submissions. But always maintain a 3/4 days gap between two consecutive appeals, or you may never get any reply from YouTube accounts team whatsoever.
You may also like: YouTube account suspended for no reason? Well, not really.
Learn another way to appeal the suspension of YouTube account if it’s a brand channel
However, if you repeatedly receive this reply from YouTube team saying that ‘We have reviewed into your case and found that your account is fully active and operational. You should be able to login with your correct gmail id and password. If you forgot your password, you can always ask for a new one’, while you still found your brand account suspended, then you should appeal in a different way.

Hi, wonderful article and had read all the comments as well. I was given my first strike last month for a tribute video I had made for a love one who passed away. I have emailed them right away and ask them nicely that they can contact me anytime if there is still any that they want me to remove so I can avoid the strike. This month they have taken down another video which was a compilation of charity works just like the other these videos were made in good faith and not even monetized. I didn’t even expect that they will be given a strike because if they only had just watched them, these are inspirational videos. The other videos they have taken down has been in my channel for years, lyric videos that has already copyright claims from another party and that the revenue goes to them. I had pleaded for them to retract, I was assured that if I delete the videos they will retract the strikes which I already did but afterwards they never did. I apologized for any mistakes made and even promised not to do it again but still never had the chance. I had this channel since 2009 and it’s been a part of me already, my kids videos were there since they were babies. I was just hoping for them to give me a chance which they never gave, now I feel helpless and sad. My channel got terminated last May 14 and I miss my community as every time I share with them inspirational quotes and motivations. Is there any chance I can still have it back without them retracting? Hope you could give me some insight, I feel sad and helpless. Appreciate it a lot, many thanks.
Hi, What does (Your Official Name) means?
Do I have to put my real name? or just the channel name?
Please reply, thank you very much.
Your real full name, the one you have as a citizen of the country
Dear YouTube,
I am extremely sorry that I might have violated some of YouTube’s community guidelines, that’s why my channel has been suspended. Would you please pardon me only this once and give me my channel back? If you do, I promise you that I will never violate any of YouTube’s guidelines/TOS again. You can even delete those videos that violated YouTube’s community guidelines.

Pingback: The Reason YouTube Don't Specify the Cause of Account Termination - YouTubing Tips
I have just one curiosity. If someone’s Google account has been suspended and that person suspects that the YouTube team member who has their account’s future in their hands is a real jerk inasmuch as the appeals keep getting rejected, would it do any good for that individual to mail or fax a letter to the C.E.O. of Google? Also, if that individual has a Google Adsense account under a separate account that is unassociated with the Google account that got suspended, does that individual run the danger of losing his or her Google Adsense account also?
It would be really very difficult to contact the CEO of Google regarding this. Even if you can, the chances things will go in your favor are very slim. Nevertheless you can try contacting them. If a certain Google product of yours has been suspended, then your AdSense won’t be affected.

Please my Youtube channel suspend Please réactivité
It’s not in our hands to reactivate your channel. You just have to appeal the suspension of your channel in the way described in this very article.
The following message sent to my mail. What should I do further?

“Hello,
Unfortunately, if your channel has been removed due to copyright infringement, we are unable to process your appeal. Please visit the YouTube Copyright Center for more information: http://www.youtube.com/yt/copyright/.
Sincerely,
The YouTube Team”
This appeal method presented here works for channels that have been terminated due to community guidelines violations. You need to contact people who imposed copyright strikes on your channel and request them to withdraw copyright claims. Promise them to never do this again in the future, also offer them a little bit in monetary terms if you afford. Think yourself how you can possibly convince them. You can share your full story with us – how you got those strikes and what sort of content you had on your channel. If you write your story in article format, we shall publish it on our blog.
Please my Youtube channel suspend Please réactivité

@ Editanka, your brand channel has most possibly been suspended, yet don’t lose hope. I have assessed your situation and think that you should read the following article with url https://youtubingtips.com/2017/01/26/who-terminates-channels-human-or-bot/
After reading, let me know about your thoughts.
Very good and complete explanation.
2 days ago, one of my channel has been disappeared from my account. I am not really sure if I did a violation or not.
I did appeal once, and got immediate response (might be response from robot )

It has been more than 36 hours after my first appeal.
I still wait to make second appeal.
I will follow your guide. Hope my channel reactivated. Thank’s a lot.

There’s another factor which although might not help getting your channel back, it’s an issue that needs to be recognized and be aware of; YouTube has a practice that suggest Double Standards, favoritism and even hypocrisy, wait wait wait, don’t go fanatical on me, let me explain; I had a channel with over 1000 videos, 900 subs and 4.5 million views combined. I sometimes upload videos from the cc section and I found a couple of videos about breastfeeding which I shared and a few day later I had around 18k views, I presented the video opening the floor for discussion on the controversy whether it should be done in public or it would be inappropriate, well I got two Strikes for those videos labeling them sexually explicit and in violation of the terms of service which is fine if that were a fact which isn’t. Here’s the issue, the person I downloaded the video from still has the video up and running with over 5million views furthermore his channel has many very sexually explicit and suggestive videos all or most with millions of views. When my first appeal was rejected I brought up those concerns, the answer was a second Strike and a couple of days later permanent deletion of my account.
I did respond bringing up the hypocrisy and double standard which probably didn’t help my possibility to get my channel back.
Another example is PewDiepie; Take one of his videos he violate a bunch of terms of service on the form of foul language, inappropriate content, bloody material, every other word out of his mouth is an F bomb and yet he’s one of the top producers. Explain that!
Thanks
