Content ID is a system used by YouTube to identify and manage copyright-protected content.
When a video is uploaded to YouTube, it is scanned against a database of audio content submitted by us for each of your releases.
If Content ID finds a match, it applies a claim to the matching video. Depending on the copyright owner’s Content ID settings, the claim can result in one of the following actions:
- Blocks a video from being viewed
- Monetises the video by running ads against it and sometimes sharing revenue with the uploader
- Tracks the video’s viewership statistics
