There is no consumer phone line for Youtube, and any phone number offered in a search result or an advertisement should be treated as a scam: people who call them get asked for account details or a payment and lose both. Support runs through the Youtube Help Center and the Send feedback option in the app and on youtube.com, which is where account, payment and content problems are logged. Creators in the Youtube Partner Program have a separate support route from inside Youtube Studio, and it is far more responsive than the general one.

Public pressure tends to work better than the queue here: the TeamYouTube account on social media does answer users who post the details of a problem. Keep screenshots, dates and any case ID you are given. Charged for a subscription you cancelled? Start your complaint here and we help you write it in minutes, with the payment dates, the cancellation screenshot and any case ID in the right place.

Cancel it where you signed up for it. If you subscribed on youtube.com or in the app with a card, open your paid memberships in your account settings and cancel there. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, only that store can cancel it and only that store can refund it, which is the single most common reason people are convinced they cancelled and keep being charged anyway. The name of the biller on your bank statement tells you which of the three you are dealing with.

Refunds for a charge taken after cancelling are requested from whoever took the money, with the transaction date, the amount and a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation. If nobody accepts responsibility, we bring your complaint to Youtube through emails, social media and paper letters, and it is worth asking your card issuer about a dispute at the same time.

Use the appeal link in the notice you received and treat it as your one shot: say which video or which policy is involved, explain factually why the decision is wrong, and leave out the general argument about fairness. If the suspension follows a claim made by someone else about your content, deal with that claim separately, because it runs through a different process. Download whatever you can from the account while you still have access to it.

Get the evidence in order first: the notification email, screenshots of the strike or suspension, the video titles and dates, and any earlier correspondence with support. Channel terminated and the appeal rejected? Put the termination notice, the appeal and the dates in your complaint here, and other creators here who lost a channel over the same policy can back your case up.

There are three routes and they are not the same thing. You can wait for the strike to expire, you can ask the claimant to retract the claim, or you can submit a counter notification, which is a legal statement that the claim is wrong. A counter notification passes your contact details to the claimant and can lead to court proceedings, so use it when you are confident that you own the material or that your use is fair, and get advice when you are not.

Content ID claims are a different animal from strikes: a claim usually affects monetization or where a video can be seen rather than the standing of your channel, and it is disputed from inside Youtube Studio. Work out which of the two you actually have before you act, because appealing the wrong one wastes the attempt.

So far consumers reported 38 complaints about Youtube here, with an average rating of 1.9 out of 5. The same themes keep coming back: copyrighted work used or claimed by others without permission, videos demonetized without a clear reason, support that is automated or absent, moderation decisions that look inconsistent, misleading and scam advertising, and accounts suspended with no explanation anyone can follow.

Your complaint gets its own public page on Complain.biz and we get to work: we bring it to the attention of Youtube through emails, social media, paper complaint letters and other tools at our disposal.

And we stay with it after you file. Our trained AI opens a case file for you and keeps coaching: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Yes. We have an active community of consumers, and complaints here are public: people who ran into the same problem with Youtube can give you advice or back you up with their own story. A complaint with a community behind it is much harder to overlook.
