Hey YTTalk long time no speak 0_0 lol

I'm a partner and I've been wanting to use this feature for a very long time smh but for some reason I don't have access to it.

Do any of you have this feature enabled? If so... what did you do to get the feature enabled?

Thanks ^_^
 
Since the Rental Program is still in Beta you need to apply to it. Make sure your Content is Top. A Friend of my did apply to it last Month and did got approved for it so I assume that YouTube is still handling each Apply seriously if the Content seem to be worth it.

Create the optimal rental experience

YouTube Rentals offers content partners unprecedented flexibility and control over monetization, marketing, and distribution for online video.
  • Maintain full control of your rights, your distribution window, and the rental price and duration.
  • Choose to make some content available via the ad-supported model or make some free for promotional purposes, for maximum control over monetization, marketing, and distribution strategies.
  • Experiment with the different price points, availability windows, and rental durations to optmize the offering for a specific video.
  • Grow your audience on YouTube, learn what they like to watch, and tailor your content offering by tracking view trends.

Grow audience and revenue

As a YouTube partner, you will be able to benefit from a new revenue opportunity and expand your reach via the world's largest online video community.
  • Discover a new way to monetize and distribute your content online. Create a new revenue stream by making archived, offline, or new videos available for rent online.
  • Communicate directly with your audience and message new content uploads or offline releases.
  • Access a massive audience. YouTube is the number one video site on the internet and the 3rd largest Internet destination in the world. (comScore, 2009)
So to make it short:

If you have Content that others are willing to pay for you can set up on your YouTube Channel (You have to be a YouTube Partner to be able to apply to it) an Rental Store were you can sell that Content. Besides the usual Hollywood Movies or TV Shows more and more are offering Tutorials for different Content like perfect Setup for Car Engines, IT Training Videos, How to... if you have something that People are willing to pay for you can pretty much make Money out of it on YouTube too.

It`s similar to Video2brain or Lynda and I'm wondering the hole time why YouTube hasn`t pushed it even more in the past since there are literally Millions of things that People would pay for to see it on YouTube.
 
I want to rent my videos out, but since they're "YouTube Exclusive" I don't have the proper identification, it takes registering them with the MPAA, IMDB or YOLO.
 
Thanks @Sanuku problem is I'm with fullscreen, and when I click the apply button it takes me to my settings page 0_0 so I contacted my fullscreen rep directly, hopefully I get access (fingers crossed)
 
Personally I don't think rentals are a good idea for your normal videos. Because then people will have to pay to watch something.
Unless you have a really good series going or really good content.

Just my 2 cents. Rather earn rev from the ads
