YouTube Music Overview

1 min read

YouTube Music is a streaming platform by YouTube where songs are published in video format. ChilClick distributes music to both YouTube Music and YouTube Content ID.


How It Works #

When you distribute music to YouTube Music:

  • Your releases appear as auto-generated videos.
  • The cover artwork is used as the video thumbnail and content.
  • The track information (title, artist, label) is included in the video description.
  • Ad revenue from these videos goes to your ChilClick account.
  • Songs are also available ad-free for YouTube Music subscribers.

Opting Out #

If you do not want your music on YouTube Music:

  • Uncheck YouTube Music as a delivery channel during release submission.

Video & Claim Information #

  • Your auto-generated art track video description will show “Provided by ChilClick”.
  • Content ID claims will indicate “ChilClick (on behalf of [Artist or Label])”, ensuring proper ownership and revenue allocation.

Default Channels for Releases #

YouTube Music automatically places releases on one of the following:

Channel TypeDescription
Topic ChannelAuto-generated channel for all artists (e.g., “Various Artists – Topic”)
Artist Topic ChannelAuto-created channel for a single artist; all auto-generated videos appear here
Personal ChannelIf linked, YouTube prioritizes syncing videos with your personal channel

Important: Ensure your artist or label information is accurate in the uploader to correctly assign revenue and ownership claims.
