Hey guys! I've been thinking a lot about monetizing my videos on YouTube, but I'm scared of getting copyright claims and having some of my videos taken down. Is there a program or a way of checking your videos before you upload them to YouTube?

Note: I would never use copyrighted material intentionally. I'm just paranoid lol

Thank you all in advance!

Usually YouTube notifies you if it detects somethings
 
Not sure, it likely depends on the company doing the claiming. Some don't mess around and just go straight for the takedown. It depends who owns the intellectual property rights.

I'll have to be very careful then. Most of the time, they come from AdRev (claims, not strikes).

Thank you! I'm trying to be super careful. I'm seriously thinking about getting a partnership for the extra protection.
 
This is not how it works anymore. I have seen Pewdiepie say on his Broken podcast that you don't really need a network anymore. The copyright thing used to be an issue a while back but now it's somewhat fixed. The networks don't really benefit you, they just get a cut of your pay. They only benefit big channels. You can monetize and be a youtube partner and get paid through adsense.

Personally I would not join a network as a small channel.

Do some research of your own. Find articles on google and watch some videos on it.

I was about to say this.

A network doesn't give you any legal protection and if you're not making them thousands of dollars, they most likely won't care about your channel or strike.

People for many years have been under the misinformed opinion that networks provided you with some kind of legal barrier to post things, the only thing they offer is instant monetization, which doesn't change any of the legalities. As long as you have the rights to post the content you post, stick within the guidelines and don't manipulate the system, there's really nothing to worry about.
