The moment your video is published, it’s been taken under review process. However, you can still earn some money even if your video is under the review phase. 

When all of your videos are subjected for review, the best performing video or, say, higher velocity video would be reviewed first by Facebook, and its performance is determined by the number of views that the video gets within the first few minutes after its publishing. A video is considered or labeled as High velocity if it gets 25 views in the first 10 minutes. This process takes 48 hours, but it could be lesser than that too! 

After review, your videos would get a label, and you’d be notified if your video meets the criteria for Facebook monetization or not. If your video is labeled as “Limited/ No Monetization,” you can stillgo for a one-time appeal.

To meet the criteria for facebook monetization, you need to follow Facebook’s Content Monetization Policies and optimize your videos accordingly. The important features for a video to meet the criteria are:
