How does YouTube Content ID work?

YouTube’s Content ID system scans uploaded videos against the database of music you’ve submitted for protection. If a video that is uploaded matches a work that you own, you can monetize, block it, or track it.

What are the benefits of working with Symphonic?

We have a dedicated staff that will not only monetize your videos but place fingerprints and looks for other videos that YouTube’s fingerprinting program does not pick up. Our team will scan each and every song in your catalog to ensure that we either monetize or takedown videos uploaded by third party individuals.

Wondering if you qualify for YouTube Content ID?

If you have exclusive rights to the material you want to upload to Content ID, yes!

Material that would be ineligible for Content ID:

  • Content licensed non-exclusively from a third party
  • Content released under Creative Commons or similar free/open licenses
  • Public domain footage, recordings, or compositions
  • Clips from other sources used under fair use principles
  • Video gameplay footage (by other than the game’s publisher)
  • YouTube Content ID is only available for Distribution clients.
