YouTube's Content ID system allows you to earn revenue from videos featuring the tracks you've registered for Content ID with us. Essentially, YouTube's detection algorithm automatically identifies your music in videos uploaded by other users.

When your music is detected, YouTube generates claims against those videos, enabling you to monetize them.

Before submitting your track to Youtube content ID, it's important to verify whether your music meets YouTube's eligibility criteria. This ensures that your content aligns with the requirements set by YouTube for monetization.

Each track that fails to meet the requirements outlined below will be declined and consequently excluded from consideration for YouTube Content ID.
