Overview
In this article, we will go through a step-by-step guide on how to submit tracks to Content ID & More within BeatStars Studio along with their requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To submit your tracks to Content ID & More, they must meet the following requirements:
- You must upload an Untagged file with a duration of less than 10 minutes, that's never been published on the internet before.
- Your track must be uploaded through our uploading interface on BeatStars Studio, not our previous interface that was available through the BeatStars marketplace.
- Only Beats and Beats with Hooks tracks are eligible for submission. Full songs are not accepted.
- Your track must not contain purely ambient sounds, meditative sounds, or spoken words.
- Your track title must not contain emojis, discount offers, generic genres, social media handles, "type beat" identifiers, or collaborative credits like featured artists or other producers. If you have these in your track title, you may be asked to provide an alternative title for Content ID purposes.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Start by uploading a new track within Studio by clicking 'Create Track'.
- Proceed through the standard track upload process. Be sure you first upload a track file before continuing.
- When you reach the ‘Monetization’ step, select your contracts (as per usual) and scroll down to the ‘Content ID & More’ section. Here, you can choose the monetization services you want to enable for your track.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are submitting to Content ID & More for the first time, you will first need to select the ‘Enable Content ID & More’ button. Afterwards, you will be required to complete the following fields:
-
Optional: If you have collaborators on your track, you can select your percentage split of Content ID & More revenue with them.
- Proceed to the ‘Review’ stage and complete your track upload process by publishing your track. To review your Content ID & More submission, return home and select ‘Content ID & More’ from the main navigation menu.
- In this section, you can view the statuses of all your Content ID & More submissions.
You can also edit your submissions and request takedowns or submit to additional monetization programs.
After your tracks are approved, it will take a minimum of 3 months before you can begin to monitor your earnings and understand how your content is consumed across YouTube, Meta, and TikTok.
