YouTube declined to share details of the video that earned Trump the warning, but said that after the one-week wait time it will review the decision.
YouTube was the only major social media platform that hadn't suspended Trump in some way.
Facebook suspended Trump's account "indefinitely," while Twitter vetoed Trump entirely.
"After careful review and in light of concerns about the continued potential for violence, we removed new content uploaded to Donald J. Trump's channel and issued a sanction for violating our incitement to violence policies," said a spokesman for YouTube in a statement.
"As a result, according to our long-standing warning system, the channel is now unable to upload new videos or live broadcasts for a minimum of seven days, which could be extended."
