Once you opt-in to Content ID with iMusician, YouTube’s Content ID matching system will begin searching for all the videos across the platform that are using your sound recordings.
If a video that contains your copyrighted sound recording is uploaded to YouTube after your music has been released with iMusician, it is usually monetized within one or two days after the upload.
If a video that contains your copyrighted sound recording is uploaded to YouTube before your music has been released with iMusician, this process can take longer, sometimes more than a month, as YouTube’s matching system searches new videos and the most popular videos that contain your content first.
