Learn about Bilibili signup, community membership, creator verification, copyright, monetization, live streaming, and account safety.
Bilibili is a Chinese video and community platform known for animation, games, technology, education, culture, and highly engaged interest communities. Basic viewing, full community participation, publishing, live streaming, monetization, and business tools can have different account and verification requirements.
Account and creator layers
| Use | What it enables | Possible requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Registered viewer | Follow, save, comment, and interact | Phone and security checks |
| Community member | Broader community functions under current rules | Platform membership process may apply |
| Creator | Upload and manage original video | Identity, copyright, and content review |
| Live/monetization | Live streaming or revenue features | Additional age, identity, region, and program eligibility |
Content fit
Bilibili often rewards depth, series, subject expertise, and community understanding. Tutorials, explainers, reviews, animation, gaming, and longer narratives can fit well. Creators should study the expectations of the specific content partition rather than treating the site as a generic video feed.
Copyright and community rules
- Upload media you created or have permission to use
- Check music, footage, game, anime, and translation rights
- Use accurate titles and thumbnails
- Do not manufacture views, comments, or favorites
- Understand rules for sponsorships and regulated claims
- Keep source project files and licenses
Account security
Protect the linked phone and password, review unfamiliar logins, and never approve a QR login you did not initiate. Creator accounts should also protect source files, monetization details, and team permissions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bilibili only for anime?
No. Anime remains important, but Bilibili also has large communities around games, technology, education, lifestyle, documentaries, and many other subjects.
Can every account monetize videos?
