IT Home reported on November 4 that YouTube, the world's largest video platform, published a blog post today (November 4) announcing that it is rolling out the “Replace song” tool in YouTube Studio to creators worldwide, making it easier for them to handle copyrighted music in videos.
Citing the blog post, IT Home reported that the “Replace song” tool had previously launched in the United States. After a creator receives an audio copyright claim, the feature can instantly generate four unique royalty-free instrumental background tracks to replace the copyrighted audio; once the replacement is complete, the corresponding Content ID claim is automatically removed.
To use it, creators open the “Replace song” tool in YouTube Studio and click the new “Create” button under the “Suggestions” tab. They then receive four instrumental tracks of about three minutes each, which they can loop on the timeline or adjust in volume.
YouTube said the feature is intended to reduce the disruption that audio copyright claims cause to the creative process, allowing creators to quickly choose background music that meets copyright requirements while preserving the video's original atmosphere. The tool currently generates only instrumental background music and does not yet support vocals or the creation of complete songs.
