> There is no other to safely check whether a music is safe except testing it directly on youtube. But this way is too troublesome when you have multiple music in a video.
Since it’s the 2nd most popular site on the internet and the most popular video site, the first place you need to check to know if a song is copyrighted is YouTube.
The best way to find out if a song is copyrighted is by uploading it to YouTube and letting the Copyright Checker check if there are any copyright issues. Here’s how to do it:
1. Log in to your YouTube account and then go to the YouTube Creator Studio
2. Click **CREATE** in the top right corner of the page and then **Upload videos**
3. Upload a video with the song whose copyright you want to check
4. When YouTube has finished processing your video, click on **Checks**
5. If a song is copyright-free, you’ll see “No issues found” under Copyright with a green checkmark on the right
6. If the song is copyrighted, you’ll see a red exclamation mark near the Checks section
7. When you click **Check**, you’ll see the copyright details
