Quick Answer:<\/strong> No, you can’t publish the same video on 2 different YouTube channels (except under certain circumstances). It’s seen as duplicate content & frowned upon by YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lately, I’ve been working hard on becoming more consistent with publishing videos on the Commission Academy YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that’s not the only YouTube channel I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually have multiple channels in the affiliate marketing<\/a> niche, and I also have several other channels in entirely different niches<\/a> altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, a couple of days ago I found myself wondering if I could be more efficient with my time by simply publishing the same video across multiple channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the surface, it seems like a great idea, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create 1 video & then publish it on 2 different channels. Or heck, why stop there? I could publish it to 10+ different channels at once. Imagine that! \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as you can imagine, it’s not quite as straightforward as it sounds & publishing the same video on 2 different YouTube channels could cause big problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll explain why below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you’ve been wondering if you can post the same video on 2 different YouTube channels & how YouTube detects reused content, keep reading this post for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n

Can You Reupload a YouTube Video On Another Channel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, the answer to this question is no – you can’t reupload a YouTube video on another channel. If you do, YouTube will detect the reused content & remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, technically speaking, if you were to alter the duration of the video & mirror it or zoom into the video a little bit, you could bypass the detection system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that’s not what we’re about here at Commission Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re not about ways to “game systems” because those types of tricks & gimmicks, at most, only ever provide very short team benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sooner or later, they will get flagged & you’ll be back to square one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to build a truly successful online business you must put the idea of using “tricks” to one side & instead, focus on delivering massive value over the long term<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it will take additional work to create another video & that can be frustrating especially if it’s on the same topic & you’ve just created one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there’s a reason you have more than 1 channel. It’s because you’re trying to get more views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you want to get more views & more traffic<\/a>, then you’re going to have to do more work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when I found myself asking the question “can I post the same video on 2 different YouTube channels?<\/em>“, I quickly realized that I was falling into a laziness trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here’s the deal;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I respect my YouTube audience. They subscribed to my channel, and I want to show gratitude by giving them the fresh content that they subscribed for. I don’t want to give them lazy, re-hashed content just because I want an “easy” way to try & get more views.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success online is all about respecting your audience & if you stop respecting them, you’ll lose them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s when you truly put your audience first that you’ll see the best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to preach that all of the time when it came to publishing written content, so why did I all of a sudden think video content would be any different?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not – and I’m just glad I quickly snapped out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Same Video On YouTube & YouTube Shorts: Is It Allowed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for ways to repurpose your YouTube content then one of the best ways you’re allowed to do it is by using the same video on YouTube & YouTube shorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you’ve created a 30-minute video on YouTube, you could take snippets from that video & create a bunch of shorts from the snippets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just remember, though, that because the content wasn’t exactly “intended” for shorts, it might not be as engaging as it would be if you were to specifically create the short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So even though it’s easy to leverage these snippets & create shorts from them, you may not necessarily get as good engagement from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still; depending on your content, this can prove to be a real timesaver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part is that using the same video on YouTube & YouTube shorts is allowed, provided the shorts version is just a snippet of the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does YouTube Detect Reused Content?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YouTube has a very complex algorithm that detects duplicate content but the most common things that it looks for are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
