All ToolsPaste any YouTube video URL — see whether its public metadata signals a Content ID match is likely. Takes two seconds. Based on category, license type, and YouTube's "licensed content" flag.
Getting a Content ID claim on your video means YouTube redirects ad revenue to the rights holder, blocks the video in some countries, or mutes the audio entirely. This tool checks the public metadata signals YouTube exposes for any video — category, "licensed content" flag, license type, and music topic tags — and tells you whether the video is likely inside Content ID. It's a heuristic on public data, not a guarantee, but it's accurate enough to tell commercial music from original content in most cases.
It pulls public YouTube metadata for the video — category (Music / Education / etc.), whether YouTube has flagged it as "licensed content", the license type (standard YouTube vs Creative Commons), and the topic tags. Four boolean checks combine into a PASS / WARN / CLAIM LIKELY verdict. Takes about two seconds.
No. Actual Content ID claim data is private — only the video's uploader can see it inside YouTube Studio. This tool is a metadata-based heuristic. It tells you the risk signal from public data, not a guaranteed claim status.
YouTube's "licensed content" flag means YouTube knows the video contains material from a rights partner (record label, film studio, etc.). It's a strong signal the video has or will get a Content ID match. Copyrighted just means someone owns the rights — most original content is copyrighted but uploader-owned.
Yes, usually with attribution. If the license field shows creativeCommon, the creator has explicitly allowed reuse under CC-BY. Still a good idea to credit the original channel and keep a link to the source.
It's a thin wrapper around YouTube's free public Data API — one call per check. No servers running analysis, no paid licenses, no database. We charge nothing because it costs us almost nothing to run.
