| Re: "This video is pay gated" WTF? What does this mean? | lauschin | 6/27/12 7:48 PM | Can you provide a screenshot? Also, what country are you in? I'm with JDoors; this doesn't show up in the United States. |
| Re: "This video is pay gated" WTF? What does this mean? | PeggyK | 6/27/12 9:12 PM | In addition to what lauschin asked: Do you see that message when you are not signed in to your YouTube account? Is there a Content ID match on the video? |

| Re: "This video is pay gated" WTF? What does this mean? | PeggyK | 6/29/12 8:47 PM | What does it show for the "syndication" settings for that video? |

| Re: "This video is pay gated" WTF? What does this mean? | JDoors | 6/30/12 8:14 AM | Sounds like a new feature coming up. Unfortunately, they never warn users they're tinkering with something, so all you can do is wait for whatever it is they're doing to be revealed. |

What does this mean? | rdsockeye | 7/5/12 6:42 AM | In our case there hasn't been licensing issues - I was actually able to take care of this a few months ago for some of our videos that had been having this issue but now it's back ever since the update that added that 'pay gating' notice.
