Appeal a Content ID claim

If you disputed a Content ID claim, but the claim was reinstated, you may be eligible to appeal this decision. If a Content ID claim blocked your video, you may be able to skip the initial dispute step and start the process with an appeal.

When you appeal a Content ID claim, the person that claimed your video (the claimant) is notified and has 7 days to respond.

 

Before you appeal

You can check if you're eligible to appeal on your channel features page. If you’re not eligible, you may need to complete a one-time verification before you can appeal.

Keep in mind that you should only appeal if you're confident that you have all the necessary rights to use the claimed content. Repeated or malicious abuse of the appeal process can result in losing the eligibility to appeal or other penalties against your video or channel.

After you appeal

After you appeal a claim, the claimant has 7 days to respond.
