Content ID

Content ID is a YouTube and Meta (Instagram/Facebook) system for copyright-owning content creators to easily identify and manage their content on the platform.


Videos uploaded to YouTube and Meta are scanned against a database of files that have been submitted by copyright-owning content owners, who can decide what happens when content in a video on YouTube and Meta matches a work that they own. When a match is found, the video gets a Content ID claim.
