regarding licensing. This meant that millions of videos featuring music from Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and other artists went silent.
Seemingly in a bid to avoid a similar problem for itself, YouTube has a solution for creators who get a copyright strike for music they use. Now creators can select to have just the song that has triggered the claim removed from their video or opt to have the audio in the video muted for the duration of the song. Importantly, no other audio including dialogue and audio effects will be removed unless the Mute all Sound option is selected. We’re curious to see how this works as we suspect that inevitably, some audio will still be audible.. For one, the tool may not be able to remove all copyrighted music from a video.
