FrameYield currently accepts standard public YouTube long-form videos with custom 1280×720 thumbnails. Shorts, Reels, TikTok covers, livestreams, private videos and external previews are not billable.
After the reporting period closes, eligible impressions enter a seven-day validation window. Cleared balances above the fixed currency threshold are scheduled in the Thursday payout run once identity, tax and bank requirements are complete.

No. FrameYield reviews eligible thumbnail reach, recent long-form publishing, audience quality, account standing, rights and brand safety. Subscribers are context, not the billing unit.
