Music is a powerful form of creative expression that speaks to us in ways that words cannot. Music is great at communicating the language of the heart and adds emotional power to the visuals. By adding music to your video, you can increase the impact and depth to your message or story.
“Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.”
― Alphonse de Lamartine
If your viral YouTube masterpiece uses licensed music from Adobe Stock audio, you may see something called a _copyright claim _from YouTube’s Content ID system. Content ID helps copyright owners protect their music; however, a copyright notice from YouTube does **not necessarily **mean that any copyrights have been infringed, nor does it mean that you will receive a copyright strike. Any music licensed from Adobe Stock includes the right to use it in projects that will be posted on video hosting services.

The best way to avoid YouTube copyright notices is to initially upload your files as “unlisted.” In “unlisted” mode, YouTube will still scan the file for registered music, but also give you the opportunity to upload verification of your license before your video is published.
Follow these two simple steps to remove an audio copyright claim from any video you have posted to YouTube that includes audio from Adobe Stock:
Step one: Get the copyright clearance code(s) you need from Adobe Stock.
To find the clearance code, log in to Adobe Stock. Click on your account picture on the top right and you will see a license history option.
