Some music tracks in our library are marked with a Content ID tag. This means they’re registered in YouTube’s Content ID system by the music owner, such as a record label or distributor. If you use one of these tracks in a YouTube video, you may receive a copyright claim.
When a claim happens, the music owner can:
Take the ad revenue from your video
Block your video in some or all countries
Track your video’s performance
No worries though. You can always dispute the claim by providing a receipt showing that you purchased the track legally from Icons8.
Alternatively, you can use tracks without a Content ID tag. These tracks are safe to use on YouTube — even for monetized videos — and you won’t get a claim.
If you’re not sure which tracks are okay to use, or if you get a claim, reach out to us — we’re happy to help.
