Choose Standard Watch Time for one public YouTube video that is at least 60 minutes long. This package is the more practical option for adding watch hours to long-form content without using the ads-based service.
Check the duration of your public YouTube video first, then choose the Standard or Ads Watch Time package that matches that duration.
Check the full duration of the public YouTube video you want to use.
Choose Standard Watch Time for a 60+ minute video, Ads Watch Time for a 15–29 minute video, Ads Watch Time for a 30–59 minute video, or Ads Watch Time for a 60+ minute video.
Select the number of watch hours. Standard Watch Time supports 100 to 4,000 hours, while Ads Watch Time supports 500 to 4,000 hours.
One order applies to one public YouTube video. Standard Watch Time includes 30-day refill support for eligible decreases. Ads Watch Time is advertising-based and should not be treated as a guaranteed method of increasing YouTube Partner Program watch-hour eligibility. No YouTube or Google account access is required.

Buy YouTube Watch Time Hours for one eligible public long-form video with packages built around the actual duration of your content. Choose Standard Watch Time for videos that are at least 60 minutes long, or select the correct Ads Watch Time package for a 15–29 minute, 30–59 minute, or 60+ minute video.
Standard packages are available from 100 to 4,000 watch hours. Ads Watch Time packages are available from 500 to 4,000 watch hours. Only the public YouTube video URL is required; no Google password, YouTube password, verification code, or YouTube Studio access is needed.
The correct YouTube watch time package depends first on the duration of the video. A 20-minute upload should not be ordered through the same service as a 70-minute podcast, which is why the available packages are separated by video length instead of hiding the requirement inside a generic watch-time option.
| Watch Time Package | Required Video Length | Available Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Watch Time | 60+ minutes | 100–4,000 hours |
| Ads Watch Time | 15–29 minutes | 500–4,000 hours |
| Ads Watch Time | 30–59 minutes | 500–4,000 hours |
| Ads Watch Time | 60+ minutes | 500–4,000 hours |
Check the current duration of your video before ordering and choose the matching package. This avoids sending a video to a service whose minimum duration requirement it does not meet.
Standard YouTube Watch Time is the more straightforward option for one public video that runs for at least 60 minutes. Packages range from 100 to 4,000 watch hours, making it possible to start with a smaller amount or choose a larger watch-time target for established long-form content.
This option is suitable for long podcasts, interviews, webinars, lectures, documentaries, music mixes, courses, live-stream replays, long tutorials, discussions, and other public YouTube videos with a duration of at least one hour.
Standard Watch Time includes 30-day refill support for eligible decreases. If an eligible decrease occurs in delivered watch time during that period, the missing eligible amount can be replenished according to the service conditions.
The 15–29 Minute Ads Watch Time package is designed for public videos that fall specifically within this duration range. It provides an option for creators whose content is too short for the 60+ minute Standard Watch Time service but still needs a watch-time package designed around longer viewing sessions.
Available quantities range from 500 to 4,000 watch hours. This duration range can fit interviews, reviews, educational videos, explainers, commentary, creator uploads, product demonstrations, medium-length tutorials, and previously streamed content that has been published as a public video.
Do not select this package for a video shorter than 15 minutes or for a video that belongs in the 30–59 or 60+ minute ranges.
The 30–59 Minute Ads Watch Time package is intended for public videos between half an hour and just under one hour.
It supports 500 to 4,000 watch hours and can be used for podcasts, interviews, webinars, courses, documentaries, discussions, educational content, long-form reviews, music content, tutorials, creator episodes, and public recordings within this duration range.
If your video reaches 60 minutes, choose the 60+ minute package instead. Separating the services by duration makes the order requirement visible before checkout rather than leaving the customer to discover it after the order has been placed.
The 60+ Minute Ads Watch Time package is the ads-based alternative for long public videos. It supports quantities from 500 to 4,000 watch hours.
This option is suited to long podcasts, interviews, courses, webinars, documentaries, music mixes, extended tutorials, conferences, public live-stream replays, and other videos running for at least one hour.
If your video is already 60 minutes or longer, you can choose between Standard Watch Time and Ads Watch Time according to the type of delivery you prefer rather than being forced into a single package.
Both options add watch-time activity to the selected public video, but they are separate delivery services and should not be treated as interchangeable.
| Feature | Standard Watch Time | Ads Watch Time |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum Video Length | 60+ minutes | 15+ minutes, using the matching duration package |
| Minimum Order | 100 hours | 500 hours |
| Maximum Order | 4,000 hours | 4,000 hours |
| Delivery Type | Standard watch-time service | Ads-based watch-time service |
| Refill Support | 30 days for eligible decreases | Package-specific service conditions |
Choose Standard Watch Time when you have a qualifying 60+ minute video and want the more economical long-form option. Choose Ads Watch Time when you specifically want the advertising-based service or when the target video falls into the supported 15–29 or 30–59 minute ranges.
The available watch-time packages extend up to 4,000 hours per order, including a dedicated 4,000-hour quantity for eligible long-form videos.
However, buying a 4,000-hour package should not be confused with a guarantee of YouTube Partner Program approval. YouTube determines valid public watch hours, channel eligibility, policy compliance, and monetization approval independently.
The purpose of this service is to deliver the watch-time quantity covered by the selected package to an eligible public video. It does not guarantee channel monetization, advertising revenue, ranking, subscriber growth, or approval into any YouTube program.
Ads Watch Time is delivered through advertising-based traffic. It can contribute viewing activity to the selected video and may be visible in video analytics, but it should not be purchased as a guaranteed method of increasing the YouTube Partner Program watch-hour counter.
YouTube states that watch time generated through paid advertising campaigns does not count toward the valid public watch-hour thresholds used for YouTube Partner Program eligibility.
If your primary concern is YouTube monetization eligibility, review the current requirements directly in YouTube Studio and YouTube Help before making a purchase. A watch-time order does not override YouTube's eligibility rules or channel review process.
Watch time measures how long viewers spend watching content, not simply how many views a video receives. This makes the duration of the target video an important service requirement.
Our current packages are separated into 15–29 minutes, 30–59 minutes, and 60+ minutes so that the order can be matched to the correct delivery service.
If a video does not meet the stated duration requirement, the order may not be able to start or complete correctly. Check the full duration on YouTube before choosing the package rather than estimating it from the title or thumbnail.
The right quantity depends on the type of service and the amount of watch time you want to add to the selected video.
Standard Watch Time offers:
Ads Watch Time offers:
A smaller Standard package can be useful when you do not need a full 4,000-hour order. Larger packages are available when the selected long-form video and campaign require a higher watch-time quantity.
Each watch-time order applies to one public YouTube video URL. The selected quantity is not automatically distributed between multiple uploads on the same channel.
If you want watch time delivered to several videos, place a separate order for each eligible target so the quantity, duration requirement, and fulfillment status remain clear.
Open the target before checkout and confirm that it is the exact video you intend to use.
The submitted video needs to remain publicly accessible while the order is being processed. Making the video private, deleting it, restricting access, or otherwise preventing the service from reaching the target can interrupt delivery.
Do not submit a channel homepage, playlist, search result, YouTube Studio URL, or unrelated page. Use the direct public video link.
A previously streamed video can be suitable when it has been saved as an accessible public video and meets the duration requirement of the selected package.
This makes watch-time packages relevant not only to uploaded videos but also to public recordings of podcasts, webinars, live discussions, events, streams, conferences, gaming sessions, lessons, and other long-form broadcasts.
The video does not need to be actively live while the order is being processed unless a specific package states otherwise.
The Standard Watch Time package includes 30-day refill support for eligible decreases.
If an eligible decrease occurs in delivered watch time during the stated support period, the missing eligible amount can be replenished without an additional charge according to the service conditions.
Refill support is a defined post-delivery support period. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that YouTube analytics, YPP counters, or every channel metric will remain permanently unchanged.
Watch time represents accumulated viewing duration. It is different from the number of views on a video and different again from the number of subscribers on a channel.
If your priority is increasing the visible view count rather than accumulated viewing time, see YouTube Views. If you want to increase the channel subscriber count, use YouTube Subscribers.
Keeping these services separate allows you to choose the metric that matches the actual goal of the video or channel.
You only need the public URL of the eligible YouTube video. There is no reason to provide your Google password, YouTube password, verification code, recovery details, browser session, or YouTube Studio access.
If any third party asks you for those credentials in connection with a watch-time order, do not share them.
Start with the duration of your video. For a video between 15 and 29 minutes, choose the matching Ads Watch Time package. For a 30–59 minute video, choose the 30–59 minute Ads package. For a video that runs 60 minutes or longer, choose either Standard Watch Time or the 60+ minute Ads package.
Then select the number of watch hours, enter the exact public video URL, and keep the video accessible while the order is processed.
Choosing the correct duration package from the beginning is the simplest way to avoid a preventable order issue and ensures that the service selected at checkout matches the video you actually submit.
