Clear Individual YouTube Videos By URL

Soundstripe is thrilled to continue leading the music licensing space in unparalleled YouTube Content ID support for our customers.  In addition to listing your YouTube channels and generating single use codes for videos on other channels, we’re excited to release a feature update that makes clearing YouTube video content claims easier than ever, available for all subscribers.

You can now clear individual YouTube videos from content claims with any Soundstripe subscription… simply using the video URL.

Have an active claim on a YouTube video?

We've got you covered.

First, navigate to your Account Menu, and click Content ID under Billing.

On the Content ID tab of the Account Page, you now have access to a Clear a YouTube Video section.

To clear a YouTube video with an active claim, you can type or copy/paste a YouTube Video URL link, and select Submit.

For example, if you hand off a video to your client, once they upload it to YouTube, you simply grab the YouTube video URL, copy, paste the URL in the open field, and click “Submit.” Once submitted, your video will process. Within a few minutes, your video will be cleared. Any submitted videos will show as Pending until a resolution has been made.

Once the video has cleared successfully, the “Pending” status will change to "Cleared" with the date provided. Do know,  submitting a YouTube video URL will NOT preemptively clear videos from claims. Clearing a video will only work if there is an active YouTube Content ID claim on the video.

If a video cannot be cleared, a red error message will appear with the reason a video was denied; the reasons for this and how to troubleshoot are listed below.

Reasons a video may not clear:

1. The video does not have any content claims.
2. The video was uploaded to YouTube prior to the start of your subscription.
3. The video was uploaded to YouTube after the end of your subscription, plus a 14 day grace period.
4. The video contains content that was not downloaded by you.
5. You have submitted >50 videos in a 24 hour period.

If you are still having issues clearing a video, reach out to our amazing Soundstripe Customer Support team through chat or email, who will be ready to provide you with whimsical care throughout the entire process.

The most recently submitted 5 videos will show automatically in the Clear a YouTube Video section. However, a full history of all videos submitted and their statuses may be viewed by clicking "View All". This will take you to a new page that displays all submitted videos upon scroll.

And there you have it! After you submit a YouTube URL with an active claim, it will be cleared, within minutes. If you need any help, feel free to check out ALL the unparalleled ways Soundstripe helps protect you from content claims here.

All of your YouTube content claim feature needs are finally a reality at Soundstripe, and made available to every customer on any music plan.

Happy YouTube clearing!
