<![CDATA[The development of digital technology, particularly the YouTube Gaming platform, has brought significant changes to the entertainment and communication industries. However, the use of informal and non-standard language in gaming content has become a concerning phenomenon, especially in the context of Indonesian language learning. This study aims to analyze morphological errors in YouTube Gaming channels and their implications for Indonesian language learning. The research method used is qualitative descriptive analysis, with data collected from 31 YouTube Gaming channels and 61 video contents. The results show that morphological errors predominantly occur in the form of affixation (prefixes, suffixes, and confixes), reduplication, and the use of non-standard base words. These errors reflect the dominance of informal and non-standard language in gaming content, influenced by the speed of communication, casual language style, and the habits of content creators. The implications of this research indicate that morphological errors have the potential to negatively impact Indonesian language learning, especially for children and adolescents. However, YouTube Gaming content also has the potential to be an interactive language learning medium if used appropriately. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of using language that complies with Indonesian language rules in gaming content, as well as utilizing such content as an innovative learning medium.]]>
