If you’ve received a notice from YouTube stating Aux Mode owns the content in your video, this FAQ is for you. It will explain what the notice is and why you have received it. Here are the most common questions:

YouTube Content ID

1. What is a YouTube Content ID Notice?
This is a notice you receive when a video you’ve uploaded contains content, either video or music, that YouTube identi?es is owned by someone else.

2. Why does this happen?
Content ID is a technology that exists for three reasons: a) it allows content providers to identify when videos incorporate their content, b) it allows YouTube to generate revenue by placing advertising next to content that has been included in the Content ID program and identi?ed in uploaded videos (this is shared with Content ID partners) and c) this revenue stream allows YouTube to offer its amazing free video sharing service to hundreds of millions of users like you.

3. What happens to my video/account now?
Nothing. Your account is not in jeopardy and your video will not be taken down. YouTube will monetize any video that includes claimed content.

4. What if I dispute the claim?
Your video will not be taken down because of a claim in relation to Aux mode content. If you believe one of the following facts to be true, you should dispute the claim and it will be reviewed within 48 hours: a) the YouTube Content ID system has misidenti?ed the music in your video as a song you did not include in the ?aged video or b) you own the identi?ed music content that has been claimed outright and have not designated a third party to claim and monetize the content in the YouTube Content ID system.
