Content ID is a popular digital fingerprinting system that content creators can use to easily identify and manage their copyrighted content on YouTube*. Videos uploaded to YouTube are compared against audio and video files registered with Content ID by content owners, looking for any matches.
When the audio of a video is matched to Content ID registered content, a copyright notice will appear on the video, and the content owner may choose to take certain actions, such as:

• Clearing the claim and taking no further action
• Tracking the video’s viewership statistics
• Monetizing the video by running ads against it
• Muting the audio that matches their music
• Blocking a whole video from being viewed

As a YouTube Partner platform, we use the audio part of the Content ID system to manage and administer copyrighted audio content on behalf of content owners.
When you send your audio to YouTube Audio Content ID, your audio is matched against videos that contain this audio. Automatically, we monetize those videos and the generated revenue will be reported together with the rest of the channels in your distribution account.

Your request to setup your label profile with YouTube Content ID, will be processed after you have completed your form requirements and purchase.
