My video received a music copyright claim
Identify the soundtrack, check its attribution, and replace or remove it before posting an updated version.
In this guide
Check what the platform is flagging
- Read the platform’s notice and note the track name, affected time and whether the video is blocked, muted or subject to a claim.
- Open your tour’s Music tab and check the selected source and track. Playing a sample does not select it.
- Also check uploaded scene footage for music recorded inside the clip. Turning Background music off does not remove sound inside a scene.
- Keep the notice and the listing link if you need help identifying the source.
- 1Turn Background music off to make an export without this soundtrack.
- 2Check which source the track comes from before posting.
Choose a track for the destination where you will post
A track that works on one destination may still be restricted elsewhere. Do not assume that a track is cleared for every social network, business account or property portal.
- Free stock music: open Credits to add wherever you post your video and include the supplied acknowledgement where applicable. Check the track’s terms for your intended use.
- Trending music: being offered in the app does not establish permission for every website, business account or advertisement.
- Upload music: use a file you have the rights to use for this purpose.
- AI music: you can generate an alternative soundtrack, but do not treat that as a guarantee against every platform’s claim or restriction.
- 1The yellow outline marks the selected track.
- 2Open the supplied credits and include the acknowledgement where applicable.
Replace the track in VideoTour.ai
- In Music, preview another suitable track and select it.
- Adjust Music volume if needed and choose Save beside the changed slider.
- Apply the changes and listen to the finished tour.
- Download the updated file and use it for your new upload. A previously uploaded social post does not update automatically.
- 1Adjust the volume, then select Save.
Export without background music
Voiceover and a scene’s original sound have separate controls. Keep the narration on if you only want to remove background music.
- Open Music and turn Background music off.
- Apply the changes and wait for the updated video.
- Play it to confirm that the unwanted soundtrack is gone, then download the new version.
- 1Turn Background music off to make an export without this soundtrack.
- 2Check which source the track comes from before posting.
For a video already posted on YouTube or another platform
Keep a copy of your original video before editing it on a posting platform. YouTube may offer Replace song, Erase song or trimming for claimed content. Use the options shown for your video. Other destinations have their own process; follow the notice they provide.
Only dispute a claim when you have the rights and supporting information required by that platform. VideoTour.ai cannot remove a platform’s claim from your account. If the original tour still contains music after you disabled it and applied, send support the tour link and the affected time.
