How to Remove Copyright Claims From Your YouTube Videos in 2020

  

- If you have a copyright claim on one

of your YouTube videos, stick around

because this is a complete guide on how to fix it.

Let's do this.

- The first thing you need to do is click

on your profile image in the top right-hand corner

of the screen on most YouTube pages

and go to the YouTube Studio.

From the dashboard page, click on the video section down

on the left-hand side to list all

of your most recent videos.

You will see a filter button which, if clicked,

gives you the option to show you only those videos

with copyright claims against them.

Now, on this video list, you will see a restrictions column,

and if you mouse over the copyright claim,

you can click on see details to display the copyright claim

pop up screen for the effected video.

The top section will display the impact the copyright claim

is having on your channel, the video's global visibility,

and monetization of the content.

Below that, you can view the video itself,

see the specific copyright claim,

as well as what actions you can take.

The replace and mute song options are long existing

YouTube tools that will do exactly as described.

However, this new trim out segment

gives you a little more control.

This new feature will highlight the segment

of the video directly relating to the copyright claim,

offering the creator the opportunity to remove it

and release a claim against that segment of the video.

Do bear in mind that any features such as info cards,

ad breaks, and end screens contained

within the trimmed section will be removed from the video.

If you're happy, click continue to resolve the issue.

Have you ever encountered any copyright issues

on your on YouTube channel, intentional or not?

Do let us know in the comments below and whether

or not you think this tool will help you in the future.

Of course, creators can run into all sorts

of copyright issues if they don't understand

the licensing laws behind them, and how often have you seen

video creators try to behind the fair use defense

which often isn't fully understood

by the creator themselves.

To be honest, if you're actively trying to put disclaimers

into your video in the video descriptions, the chances are

you probably don't fully understand fair use.

There are also times when copyright claims can happen

by mistake.

You just happen to be vlogging outside,

and there is some copyright music playing

in the background, then really, unfortunately,

there's nothing you can do about it.

It's just unfortunate circumstances.

In more extreme cases, and with those who clearly flaunt

the copyright rules, if you get copyright strike

then you could be in serious trouble.

Three of them, and your channel is terminated

No ifs or buts.

So as a word to the very wise out there,

learn up on copyright.

There's lots of material on YouTube, and I'm gonna leave

some links in the video description.

If you do decide to trim the video, YouTube will need time

to process this as well as reevaluating your video

for monetization.

If you need to check your channel

for more serious copyright strikes, from the YouTube Studio,

go to settings, then channel, followed by the advanced tab

at the top, and at the bottom of this screen you will see

a link to status and features.

It's a pretty old screen at this point, and it's likely

to change soon, but currently it tells you all

of the YouTube features you have access to as well

as any community and copyright strikes on your channel.

So as you can see, although we have a couple

of copyright claims that may affect monetization

on the individual videos, we don't have any

of the more serious copyright strikes against the channel.

Now, perhaps you're on the flip side

of this copyright equation, and someone is using

your copyrighted YouTube content.

Well, if you are part of the YouTube Partner Program,

you may have access to the copyright tool

which shows you if video creators are using your content

without your permission.

We have a full video tutorial on this tool,

so make sure to check it out if you want to know more,

and did you notice these extra features

down the left-hand side?

Well, these are just some of the awesome channel growth

tools you will get access to if you download Video

It will help you research YouTube, analyze any video

on the platform, audit your own YouTube channel,

and take actionable steps.

It is free to download.
