After you have completed uploading your video a notification will appear identifying the matched portion of the audio contained in your video with the Sony/ATV-controlled composition. This claim means that YouTube has identified our track and is now monetizing on our behalf. This does not have any negative effect on your channel. Simply acknowledge the claim and your video will appear as normal.<br /><br />If you do wish to monetize directly from your video or are part of a managed MCN you are required to secure a license.
