How do I Reach a Human at YouTube Real Person?
We teaches you how to contact YouTube to address common issues such as content issues, abuse, security violations, and copyright claims. While you can try to open a dialogue with YouTube through social media or, if you are an eligible partner, through the Creator Support Team, the reality of the situation is that there is no reliable way to contact YouTube and receive an answer. Please note that YouTube does not have an email address or phone number that you can use to contact them directly, and calling YouTube's support line will only result in an automated wizard directing you to use the YouTube Help Center. (which is your best option). in most cases anyway). asking you to use the YouTube Help Center (which is your best bet in most cases anyway).
Method 1 Contact YouTube by social networks
1- Please understand that contacting YouTube here does not usually result in a conversation. YouTube maintains an active presence on social media, but rarely responds to comments on their posts or direct posts they are tagged in.
In the event that you manage to open a dialogue with a YouTube employee, it's unlikely that you'll receive personalized feedback other than confirmation that your issue is being worked on or instructions on how to use the YouTube Help Center.
2- Tweet on YouTube. One of the most promising ways to contact YouTube is through Twitter, since you can send your comments directly to their page:
Open Twitter by going to https://www.twitter.com (desktop) or by tapping on the Twitter app icon (mobile) and sign in.
You will first need to create a Twitter account if you don't already have one.
Click Tweet or tap the "Tweet" icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
Type @YouTube and then type your message.
Click or tap Tweet.
3- Comment on a YouTube post on Facebook. Like most big companies, YouTube has a Facebook page where they post updates; however, due to the high volume of content in their posts, you are less likely to communicate on Facebook. To leave a comment, do the following:
Go to https://www.facebook.com/youtube in your computer's web browser.
Sign in to your Facebook account if prompted.
Find a post to comment on, then click Comment below the post.
Type your comment, then press ↵ Enter.
4- Leave a note on a YouTube Instagram post. Unlike its Facebook page, YouTube's Instagram page posts diverse content that receives surprisingly few comments by comparison:
Go to https://www.instagram.com/youtube in your computer's web browser.
Sign in to Instagram if prompted.
Find a post to comment on.
Click the speech bubble icon below the post.
Type your comment, then press ↵ Enter.

Some creators who fit this criteria are still unable to email YouTube due to recently passing the 10,000 lifetime views benchmark.
