Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to set up Content ID?

Once your music is distributed through Udaan Muzic with Content ID enabled, it typically takes 2-4 weeks for your tracks to be fully registered in YouTube's Content ID system. After registration, detection begins immediately on new uploads.

What percentage does Udaan Muzic take from YouTube revenue?

We charge a 15% commission on gross YouTube Content ID revenue, the same as our standard distribution commission. There are no additional fees for Content ID services.

Can I use Content ID for cover songs?

Cover songs require a mechanical license, and you can only monetize the master recording rights (your specific recording). The composition rights remain with the original songwriter/publisher. We can help you obtain mechanical licenses for covers.

What happens when someone disputes a Content ID claim?

If a user disputes a claim, you'll be notified and can choose to release the claim, uphold it, or request more information. We provide guidance throughout the dispute process to protect your rights while following YouTube's policies.

Can I track Content ID earnings in my dashboard?

Yes, our dashboard provides detailed reports of Content ID earnings, including video-level analytics, geographic data, and revenue breakdowns. You can track performance in real-time.
