YouTube Content ID

YouTube’s automatic system provides artists with the power to keep track of their music on the world’s biggest video site. YouTube Content ID ensures that music is protected and artists make money from their music distribution.

Get your music on YouTube Content ID

We work closely with YouTube to ensure that all artists receive money every time their music is used in a video. Content ID provides artists with an extra revenue stream and allows creators to use music in their videos legally - everybody wins!

What is Content ID and how can artists earn money from it?

Content ID is used by platforms like Facebook and YouTube to recognise the music in all the videos uploaded to their websites. It ensures that any time music is used, artists and labels are getting their cut of the revenues as well as a proper credit for their tracks.

Artists can easily protect their music and earn revenues on the two biggest video sites in the world. We don’t charge a fee, so you can simply upload your tracks to us and select Facebook and YouTube to get paid for every use of your music in videos.

Earn money from YouTube videos

YouTube’s automatic system will scan every video to ensure that whenever your song is featured as a soundtrack, you get your rightful cut. Even if the channel using your music isn’t eligible for monetisation, YouTube will monetise your music on your behalf.

How to upload tracks to Content ID

You can upload unlimited tracks through us with a free RouteNote account. When you’re choosing where to send your music, it’s as simple as selecting Facebook and/or YouTube to ensure it’s ready for Content ID.
