When you create a release and select ‘YouTube‘ as a store, we’ll submit your release to YouTube’s Content ID system. This is one of many ways in which you can utilize YouTube to monetise your content.
YouTube’s Content ID system uses audio fingerprinting to identify videos that use all or part of your music in them. Claims are placed on these matching videos which monetizes the audio on your behalf. Even YouTube Shorts Videos bring you money through Content ID.
In order for your release to be eligible for distribution to the Content ID system, it must not contain any non-exclusive samples, public domain content, or content that might have already been uploaded to Content ID.
