Check the status of your claims

Both on search and detail pages, we show the status of each claim.

What claim statuses mean

• Active When a claim is active, its match policy is applied to the claimed video. In most cases, you have selected a monetize policy and will receive a portion of the revenue generated from the claimed video.

• Potential Potential claims are claims that are not active yet because they’re waiting for review. This happens if you have selected a "Route for review" policy (required for assets licensed at scale) or if Content ID considered the content to be a low confidence match. We will review the claim and change its status to active or inactive, depending on whether the uploader has a license or not.

• Disputed Disputed claims are claims that the uploader of the claimed video has disputed. You can see the uploader's provided reason on the claim detail page. We will review and act on disputed on your behalf. If anything is unclear, for example because an uploader claims to own a license we can't verify, we will reach out to you.

• Appealed Appealed claims are claims that the uploader of the claimed video is appealing after their original disputed claim was reinstated by us. We will always reach out to you before taking action on an appealed claim.

• Inactive Inactive claims are claims that are no longer active.

• Takedown Takedown claims are claims on videos that have been taken down because of a takedown request. This only happens if you request us to issue a takedown after the uploader has appealed the claim.
