Check the signals
We check ad signals against the video text and show timestamps, quotes and confidence levels.
Usually ready in 10 to 20 seconds. Previously checked videos open immediately.
Sponsorship or just a brand mention?
Every sponsor card shows the signals behind its confidence level. Plain brand mentions are listed separately.
Two or more signals
For example, a brand link in the description and a promo code spoken by the creator. Each card shows the signals found.
One ad signal
For example, the creator names a sponsor. Review the context before drawing conclusions.
No supporting evidence
The brand is named without a link, promo code or sponsorship disclosure. We show it as a mention.
Signs of a sponsored segment
- Brand link
A link to the brand in the description. Creator profiles and donation links do not count.
- Promo code
A promo code spoken in the video or included in its description.
- Sponsorship disclosure
Phrases such as “sponsored by” or “use my code”, checked in context.
- YouTube paid promotion label
The creator has enabled YouTube’s paid promotion disclosure.
Words such as “free” or “partner” do not prove sponsorship on their own. We consider context and supporting signals.
Who uses the sponsorship checker
Use the breakdown to evaluate creators, research competitors or prepare a brief.
Brand managers
Before booking an integration, review how the creator presents products, from format and duration to the call to action.
Agencies
Study competitor integrations and collect quotes and formats for client briefs.
Performance marketers
Compare offers, discounts and promo codes. Jump to the relevant segment using its timestamp.
Creator managers
Review a published integration: the product mentioned, the offer presented and the action viewers are asked to take.
What to keep in mind
The analysis uses captions and the video description. These limits help you interpret the results.
Spoken content only
Logos, product shots and on-screen text are not detected unless mentioned aloud.
Captions required
Videos without captions, private or deleted videos and age-restricted content cannot be analyzed.
Tone inferred from text
Format and tone are inferred without vocal intonation. Use them as a guide.
A mention is not proof
A brand mention without supporting signals does not establish a paid partnership.
Where else did this brand sponsor creators?
A competitor report in Yoloco shows every sponsorship of a brand with YouTube, Telegram and VK creators: who, when, reach and trends over a year.
Questions about YouTube sponsorships
How do I find out who sponsored a YouTube video?
Paste the video link into the checker above. In 10 to 20 seconds you see every sponsor, its promo code and the timestamp where the sponsored segment starts. Full links, youtu.be links and Shorts all work.
Is the YouTube sponsorship checker free?
Yes. It is free and needs no sign-up. You can also get the breakdown by email.
How do you tell a sponsorship from a brand mention?
We look for a brand link in the description, a promo code, a sponsor read such as “this video is sponsored by” and YouTube’s paid promotion label. Each card shows the signals found and the confidence level. A brand with no supporting signals is shown as a possible mention.
How do I find a YouTuber’s promo code?
Paste the video into the checker. It lists the promo codes the creator says in the video or prints in the description, with the timestamp where each sponsor comes up.
What does “Includes paid promotion” mean on YouTube?
It is the label creators turn on when a video contains a paid product placement, sponsorship or endorsement. The checker counts it as one signal of a sponsorship. The label does not say where the ad is, so we find the sponsored segment in the captions.
Does it work on Shorts, long videos and podcasts?
Yes. About 50 minutes of speech is read in full. In longer videos and podcasts we first find the sponsor reads by brand links, promo codes and sponsor phrases, and read them together with the start and the end of the video.
How do I see every sponsor of a YouTube channel or a brand?
The checker works one video at a time. To see every sponsorship of a brand across creators, use Yoloco Ad discovery: it tracks sponsored posts on YouTube, Telegram and VK, with reach and dates.
What does “description link only” mean?
The brand’s link is in the description, but the creator never says the brand in the video. It is an ad, just not a sponsored segment in the video itself, so it has no timestamp and no breakdown of the ad read.
Are the captions sent to ChatGPT or other AI services?
No. The language model runs on our own servers.
In which language is the breakdown?
In the language of this page: English, Russian, German or Portuguese, whatever the language of the video. The creator’s quote stays in the video’s language.
How accurate is it?
Brands, promo codes, timestamps and quotes are checked against the video text. Format and tone are inferred by the model, so use them as a guide.
