So...once I monetize a video on YouTube...and after it goes through that whole process....YouTube will start putting ads on my videos and I can start making little money off of the ads, but the videos have to be...mine.

Here's what i'm wondering...can I do gameplay videos of games and make money off of on YouTube without there being problems? Or would I have to contact the dev to permission to do this? If so...how would I contact said dev?

Not anymore.
Micro$oft has just made it illegal to make money off gameplay videos.

Is it just for Microsoft published games....or games in general?

So I wouldn't have to contact the dev...but in the video description give credit to the dev and publisher and whatnot?

Here. I thought it was all games on the Xbox, but it's only the ones published by Microsoft Studios. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So it's ok for me to make money off of any game except for games published by Microsoft so long as I include the rights to the game in my video description?
