YouTube introduces tool to erase copyrighted music from videos

YouTube (8)

Great news for video creators. YouTube has just released a significantly improved tool for handling copyrighted music in your content. This week's update builds upon a previously available beta feature.

The Erase Song tool allows creators to remove music flagged for copyright infringement, ensuring their videos remain compliant. This is particularly helpful for situations where you might have background music playing during your video.

The key improvement lies in the use of an "AI-powered algorithm." This technology allows the tool to identify and remove copyrighted songs with greater accuracy, while preserving other audio elements within the video.

It's important to note that even with these advancements, perfect results aren't guaranteed in every instance. Should the tool struggle to eliminate the copyrighted content, creators can still mute specific sections of their video flagged for copyright claims.

For more detailed information, YouTube's support page offers guidance on situations where the Erase Song tool "might not work if the song is hard to remove." Muting the audio can be a helpful alternative in these cases, ultimately preventing a content ID claim against your video.
