YouTube Introduces a New System That Will Check For Copyright Violations During Upload
YouTube has rolled out a YouTube Studio tool that checks for possible copyright violations during the video upload process. According to a screenshot shared by social media consultant Matt Navarra (by way of XDA Developers), the tool, which is called Checks, examines a video for “any copyright issues that may restrict its visibility.”
Creators can address any issues that emerge before the video is published. They’ll see details about the problem, including the timecode and the impact it will have on the video.
The Checks system is about reducing the number of videos that have copyright claims or issues that limit ads, according to YouTube. The copyright checks usually take under three minutes and ad suitability checks are typically wrapped up within two minutes. Checks will allow creators to avoid having to upload videos as unlisted to find out if visibility or monetization will be restricted when it’s made public.
