Having your releases in YouTube’s Content ID database can be a great way to earn more revenue from your releases. With Spinnup it’s quick and easy to opt your releases in, and is available for free to every artist, so long as you own all rights to the release. 

To opt-in your release to Content ID 

• When you get to the Release Settings step, scroll down and underneath where you set your release date you will see a box titled Store Delivery Options  
• Check the box that says “opt release in to YouTube Content ID”  
• If your release has multiple tracks this will opt in all tracks 

Why can’t I deliver my release to YouTube Content ID? 

Depending on how your release was created, and whether you used any third-party material in your release, your tracks may not be eligible to be delivered to YouTube Content ID. We have more info about this in the ‘Why can’t I deliver my release to YouTube Content ID?’ article.  

Can I deliver an old release to YouTube Content ID? 

Unfortunately, at the moment only new releases that meet the eligibility requirements can be delivered to YouTube Content ID. We’ll make sure to notify artists if this changes in the future.  

Can I allow someone to use my music on YouTube without Content ID? 

When you opt-in, you opt-in for all, you can’t have granular control over which videos that use your music are monetised or not.
