Why did I receive a copyright claim?

Don't panic! A copyright claim on your video is normal and can happen due to:

• You've purchased a 'Claims-Managed' track which means we need to manually review your video and clear the claim.
• YouTube’s Content ID system identifies a similar track and files a claim on that content owners’ behalf.
• The video was saved as a 'Private' draft during upload, preventing our VOUCH software from acting.
• The channel ID listed on the EULA is not the same as the one to which the video was uploaded - this will cause VOUCH to declare the license invalid as it doesn’t recognise the channel.

So let's get you sorted! First things first...

• Only just uploaded your video? At the point of uploading your video to YouTube, don’t worry if you see a 'Copyright Claim Found' warning... this is normal!!

• The majority of claims in YouTube Studio will automatically be cleared within 30 minutes by our VOUCH software.

• Please also double check you've uploaded your video as 'Unlisted' and included the correct music attribution in your video description.
• YouTube Studio will update once this has been resolved, and you'll also receive an email notification from us.
