YouTube’s general requirements say a channel must be verified, have had no live-stream restrictions in the previous 90 days, and be operated by someone at least 16 years old. A warning, strike, or live-stream restriction can have different effects, so check the notice and your channel’s current status in YouTube Studio before trying again. YouTube’s official guidance reviewed here does not establish an India-specific mobile subscriber threshold.
What you need to start a YouTube live stream
YouTube’s general live-stream guidance requires a verified channel with no live-stream restrictions in the previous 90 days. The person starting the stream must be at least 16. The method you choose—mobile, webcam, encoder, or console—may add requirements. See YouTube’s “Get started with live streaming” guidance for the current general rules.

- Channel verification: YouTube says your channel must be verified.
- Account status: The channel must not have had a live-stream restriction in the preceding 90 days.
- Age: You must be at least 16 to start a live stream.
- Method-specific requirements: Mobile, webcam, encoder, and console streaming can each have additional conditions.
These are general requirements, not a guarantee that a particular account can go live. The current eligibility and restriction display in YouTube Studio, along with any notice YouTube sent, is the best place to confirm what applies to your channel.
Does a warning stop you from going live?
Not necessarily. YouTube distinguishes a Community Guidelines warning from a strike, and a warning does not by itself establish that live streaming is disabled. Check the warning details in YouTube Studio for the policy involved and any effect or action YouTube specifies.

When policy training is offered
Some warnings may be eligible for optional policy training; not all are. If YouTube offers training and you complete it, the warning can expire 90 days after completion. The period starts when you finish the training. A repeat of the same policy violation during that window may prevent the warning from expiring and can lead to a strike. YouTube explains these conditions on its Community Guidelines strike basics page for India.
When the warning becomes a strike or a live restriction
A strike and a live-stream restriction are not interchangeable labels. YouTube’s live-stream guidance says a strike arising from a live-stream restriction prevents live streaming for 14 days. Its general strike guidance separately describes a first strike as a one-week restriction on posting and other listed activities, beginning after acknowledgement, with the strike remaining for 90 days. A second strike within that period brings a two-week posting restriction; three strikes within 90 days may lead to channel termination. The duration depends on the enforcement context, so rely on the exact notice and the account status rather than assuming one duration covers every case.

India-specific mobile eligibility: what is and is not confirmed
The official pages reviewed here do not establish a specific subscriber-count threshold for Indian channels to start mobile live streaming. Do not treat subscriber counts or activation-delay claims in community posts as definitive policy. If you plan to stream from a phone, consult YouTube’s current live-streaming instructions and check the eligibility shown in your channel’s own account interface. The webcam guidance is relevant only if you choose computer webcam streaming; a webcam does not change a channel warning, verification status, or restriction.
Check a warning, strike, or live-stream restriction
- Open the notice or account status in YouTube Studio. Identify whether YouTube calls the issue a warning, a strike, or a live-stream restriction. YouTube says its strike notices identify the removed content, the policy involved, the channel effect, and next steps.
- Confirm verification and live eligibility. Check that the channel is verified and review whether YouTube lists a live-stream restriction within the preceding 90 days.
- Check the rules for your chosen method. If you intend to use a phone, use YouTube’s current mobile-streaming instructions and account display; the India-specific subscriber threshold is not established by the guidance cited here.
- Follow any training instructions shown. Training is optional and only available for eligible warnings. If completed, its 90-day expiration period starts on the completion date.
- Appeal if you believe YouTube made a mistake. Use the appeal route in the notice or account interface. Do not try to bypass an active restriction with another channel.
Why YouTube may disable live streaming—and what not to do
YouTube’s restriction guidance lists policy removals or strikes, matching another copyrighted live broadcast, and certain streams featuring minors among possible reasons live access can be disabled. Read the notice for the reason YouTube gives your channel; the general examples do not identify the cause in an individual case. See YouTube’s guidance on avoiding live-stream restrictions.

Do not switch to another channel to get around a live-stream restriction. YouTube treats streaming through another channel while the restriction is active as circumvention and says it may lead to account termination. If you think a decision is wrong, appeal through the route YouTube provides instead.
