What is YouTube Content ID?

Content ID is not as simple as 123…so RouteNote is here to help 🥰

YouTube‘s Content ID system will claim on any YouTube video that uses your audio.

By selecting YouTube as a store when you create your release on RouteNote, you are submitting your music to YouTube’s content ID system. This will automatically claim on any YouTube video that contains matching audio content from your release on your behalf – this can also include any videos uploaded to your personal YouTube channels.
