Checking YouTube Copyright Issues Before Uploading
Published on March 11, 2025
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
I have been asked if there is a way to check if there might be some copyright issues with your YouTube videos before you upload them.
The short answer is: Not always as it depends...
In this short video, I will explain what my experiences about this is and what I have also been told by official representatives from YouTube.
And I will share the best way I have found to test in a safe way.
Let me know your experiences and questions in a comment below.
IMPORTANT update:
I forgot to mention in the video that once you have tested on a test channel, make sure to delete the video from that channel before uploading it to your main channel. If not, you risk getting flagged for copying videos. (Thanks to Jay for asking that question n the comments below).
