What is Content ID?
Content ID protects your recordings on YouTube, TikTok, Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and SoundCloud: the platforms fingerprint your music, detect other videos and posts that use it, and monetize those uses — paying the revenue back to you. It’s sold as one bundle per release, $15/year for all four platforms.
