TikTok Launches New Tool for Music Copyright Checks
(TikTok’s New Feature to Detect Copyrighted Music)
TikTok now offers a new way for creators to check their videos for copyrighted music before posting. This feature helps people avoid accidentally using music they don’t have permission for. It aims to prevent copyright strikes and potential video removals.
The tool works automatically. When a user uploads a new video, the system scans the audio track. It compares the sound against a huge database of music owned by labels and publishers. If the system finds a match to copyrighted material, it alerts the creator immediately. This alert happens during the upload process, before the video goes live publicly.
Creators see a clear notification if their video’s music triggers the copyright check. The notification explains the detected song and the rights holder involved. The creator then has choices. They can remove the flagged music entirely from their video. They can also replace it with a different sound. TikTok provides a library of cleared, royalty-free music and sounds creators can use safely. This library offers many options to keep videos engaging.

This new tool comes as copyright issues are a major focus for social platforms. Music labels and artists need protection for their work. TikTok states this feature makes respecting copyright simpler for everyone. It gives creators direct control and clear information early. The goal is fewer surprises and disputes later. Creators can feel more confident their videos stay up. Music owners see their rights better protected. TikTok believes this automated check is a big step forward. It helps the platform manage its vast content responsibly. The company says it will keep improving this system based on user feedback.
