If you’re interested in managing your content or related rights on YouTube, check out our overview of the copyright management tools YouTube offers.
To remove content that you believe has been uploaded without your permission and that infringes your copyright or other related rights, you can submit a copyright takedown request.
If, rather than requesting removal of content, you’d like to explore if it may be possible for you to license your copyright or other related rights directly to YouTube, the simplest way may be to create your own YouTube channel and upload your content yourself. Find out more and get help as a YouTube Creator.
Creating a channel to upload content directly may not be an option for some rightholders. For example, if a video contains a creative element that you provided, but you're not the copyright owner of the video itself.
If creating a channel isn't an option for you, but you’d still like to explore if there may be another licensing option available, please complete our Copyright Licensing Request Form. This form lets you tell us more about your rights and we’ll get back to you to let you know if there’s another licensing option that may be appropriate for you.
