YouTube has begun testing a new verification system aimed at improving the accuracy of the “Limited or No Ads” (yellow icon) label and speeding up the monetization process.

What’s Changing?

• Videos with a yellow icon will be automatically sent for review.
• This applies even to private videos.
• The review process may take up to 24 hours.

When Will It Roll Out?

Currently, the system is being tested with a small group of creators, but YouTube plans to expand it to all users monetizing through ads in the future.
