A Content ID claim is automatically generated when an uploaded video matches another video (or segment of a video) in YouTube's Content ID system. Depending on the copyright owner's Content ID settings, Content ID claims can:
Any of these actions can be geography-specific. For example, a video with a Content ID claim can be monetized in one country/region and blocked or tracked in a different country/region.
Keep in mind:
In this video, learn how to check if your video has a Content ID claim and how you can respond:
Content ID claims in three-minute ShortsStarting on October 15 2024, all new vertical videos that are 1-3 minutes in length will be categorized as Shorts on YouTube. Shorts longer than one minute that have an active Content ID claim, regardless of the policy, will be blocked on YouTube.
If a claim is found when you upload a 1-3-minute Short, you’ll get a notification. You may remove claimed content from your videos. If you believe the claim was made in error, you can file a dispute. Once the claim is resolved, your Short will be viewable. Learn more about 1- to 3-minute Shorts.
Check if your video has a Content ID claimIf your video gets a Content ID claim, YouTube will email you. You can also use YouTube Studio to check if your video has a Content ID claim.

See who claimed your videoIf you don't recognize the copyright owner, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the claim is invalid. Also, if your video has a claim from "one or more music publishing rights collecting societies", you may want to learn more about collecting societies.
Keep in mind:
Depending on the situation, you have a few options to respond to a Content ID claim:
Leave it as isIf you believe that a claim is valid, you can do nothing and leave the claim on your video. You can also change your mind later.
Remove the claimed contentIf you believe a claim is valid, you can remove the claimed content without having to upload a new video. If done successfully, any of these options will automatically remove the claim:
Erase song: If the audio in your video is claimed, you may be able to mute the claimed audio. You can choose whether to mute just the song or all audio in the video.
Trim out segment: You can edit out the claimed segment from your video.
Replace song: If the audio in your video is claimed, you may be able to replace your audio track with other audio from the YouTube Audio Library.
Probably not. Copyright owners are the ones who decide whether other people can reuse their copyright-protected content. They often allow their content to be used in claimed videos in exchange for running ads on those videos. Ads might play before the video or during it (if the video is longer than 8 minutes).
If copyright owners don't want their content reused, they can:
Block a video: Copyright owners may block a video, which means it won't be viewable on YouTube. The video could be blocked worldwide or just in certain countries/regions.
Restrict certain platforms: Copyright owners may restrict the apps or websites where their content appears. Restricting doesn't change the availability of the video on YouTube.
If you believe a claim is invalid, you can dispute the claim if you're confident you have all the necessary rights to use the claimed content.
Keep in mind that if you dispute a claim without a valid reason, the copyright owner may request a removal of your video. If the copyright removal request is valid, a copyright strike is applied to your channel.
Does my channel get a copyright strike if my video has a Content ID claim?No. Copyright strikes happen as a result of a valid copyright removal request. Content ID claims are different from copyright removal requests.
What to know about manual claims?
Manual claims are different from automated Content ID claims. Content ID claims are automatically generated when an uploaded video matches another video (or segment of a video) in YouTube's Content ID system.
Copyright owners who repeatedly select inaccurate timestamps can have their
Manual Claiming toolaccess revoked or, if applicable, have their partnership with YouTube terminated. If you believe the timestamps claimed in your video are inaccurate, you can get in touch with our
Creator Support team.
