How to Allowlist YouTube Channels in the SourceAudio Content ID Suite

If you’d like to allowlist (aka whitelist) your channel or any of your clients’ channels to ensure that they never receive unwanted claims, follow these simple steps to allowlist any channel in just a few clicks.

Your allowlisting tools can be found on your SourceAudio library site in the  admin panel » YouTube Content ID » Whitelisting.

All you’ll need to allowlist the channel is the URL of the channel itself. Paste the URL into the YouTube Channel ID or Channel Names field. Multiple channel URLs may be entered into the text box separated by a space and/or comma.

You can also add a note to yourself with any details about the whitelisting you want documented for your own reference.

Before finally clicking the whitelist channel button, review the checkbox to the right of the whitelisting entry fields. Leave it checked if all currently existing claims on that channel should be released, or uncheck it if you’d only like to prevent new claims from being placed. 

Then click the Whitelist Channel button, and that’s it – videos on the allowlisted channel that use your music will no longer be claimed!

You can revoke a channel’s allowlisted status at any time by clicking the Remove Channel button on its line listing. Once a channel’s allow-listed status has been revoked, newly uploaded videos on that channel that contain music in Content ID will be claimed normally.
