What Happens If Your YouTube Channel Gets Terminated But You’re Still Using Google Sites?

1. Separation Between YouTube and Google Sites

• YouTube channels and Google Sites are separate Google products.
  
  

• Termination of your YouTube channel does not automatically affect your Google Sites or other Google services.
  
  

• Your Google Sites remain online and accessible as long as your Google Account is active.
  
  

2. What Happens to Your YouTube Channel?

• Your YouTube channel is permanently removed and all videos are deleted.
  
  

• You lose access to YouTube Creator Studio, comments, monetization, and subscriber data.
  
  

• You cannot upload new videos or interact on YouTube with the terminated channel.
  
  

3. What Happens to Your Google Sites?

• Your Google Sites remain live and publicly accessible at their URLs.
  
  

• You can continue to edit and manage your Google Sites as usual if your Google Account is still active and in good standing.
  
  

• Embedded YouTube videos from your terminated channel will no longer play (they will show as removed or unavailable).
  
  

• Any other content on your site remains intact and fully functional.
  
  

4. Risks and Considerations

• If the termination of your YouTube channel was due to policy violations related to copyright or other serious issues, Google may review your overall account status.
  
  

• Repeated violations could eventually put your Google Account or Google Sites at risk.
  
  

• Always monitor emails from Google for any account warnings.
  
  

5. What You Can Do

• Replace embedded YouTube videos from your terminated channel with videos hosted elsewhere or new uploads from a different channel.
  
  

• Regularly backup your Google Sites content in case of any future account issues.
  
  

• Follow Google’s Terms of Service across all products to avoid further problems.
  
  

6. Need Help?

• Check Google’s official support for YouTube termination and Google Sites.
  
  

• Consider creating a new YouTube channel if you wish to continue posting videos (ensure compliance with YouTube policies).
  
  

• Reach out for help with transferring or recreating video content for your site.
