How to Enable Intermediate Features on YouTube 

I don't know if it's possible to enable the features without a phone number. You might try looking around for other videos to see if anyone else has figured that one out.

@themembershipanswerman Thanks for the answer. Been trying to look around for my answer to no avail.

@@RebekhaGGamerYou are welcome. Chances are it's not possible to do it without a phone number. You could try setting up a google voice number and using that.

Good question. That would be nice if that is the case!

⁠​⁠@@themembershipanswerman But I don’t know how the phone verification has a check mark even though I never did a phone verification. I am a bit worried. However, I did meet requirements for the Advanced Features. I don’ t know if advanced features also allows intermediate features without phone verification.

@@VincentGranbois It is kind of strange that you got verified without any phone verification, but I'd look at it as a positive... It's a good thing. If RU-vid wants to give you all of the features for intermediate and advanced without verification that is awesome. I'm wondering if it's because you have over 2000 videos. I just had a chat with Google Gemini and it said there's a good chance your channel was verified without a phone number due to the age of your channel and your upload history. It's saying that your channel may have gotten the verification because of two things: 1. RU-vid has recognized it as a trustworthy channel because of the longer history and substantial number of videos. 2. Because you have had the consistent uploads and no violations RU-vid is seeing you as someone who isn't going to be spamming or engaging in malicious activities. I understand being worried and wanting to know for sure. If you really want to double check all of this you can reach out to Creator Support by doing the following: - Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Help". - Towards the bottom of the panel that opens up there is an option for "Contact us". Click on that. - There will be form that opens up that you will need to fill out. The drop down for the "I need help with my RU-vid" only has two options. I'd just pick the first option, "Memberships," and in the "Tell us what we can help with:" I'd enter something like "My channel has intermediate features, but I never went through verification.". Then select Next and click on "Other". - I would select Next step again. I got to a point where I had an option to select to get help with a Chat, less than a minute wait at the time or to use Email. I would try that if you would like to get reassured with everything being okay with your verification.

@@themembershipanswerman I did get a Community warning last year. It’s that the title of the video that was removed was not appropriate.

Someone else shared in another comment that they had the same thing happen. It had us both baffled and I did some research. Here is a copy of what I shared as a response to the other comment.

Yeah, it can be tough to get this process done when we've used our phone number too many times. Are you using your mobile phone or are you using a Google Voice number?
