How to Remove Copyright Claims on YouTube When Using Filmstro Music

If you’ve used Filmstro music in your YouTube videos and received a copyright claim, don’t panic – it’s expected, and very easy to resolve.

This guide walks you through how to remove copyright claims based on your Filmstro license type – whether you’re a free user, a subscriber, or an Enterprise client.

🧭 Find Your License Type First

Filmstro supports six main user groups. Scroll down to the section that matches your plan:

1. Free Music Users

2. CREATOR subscription (or Creator Single-Track)

3. PRO subscription (or Pro Single-Track)

4. PRO | Plugin subscription

5. ENTERPRISE subscription (or Enterprise Single-Track)

6. Educational subscription

1. Free Music Users

If you’re using Filmstro’s free music in your personal, monetised YouTube videos, you just need to add our keyword license in your video description.

✅ What to do:

Paste this exact line into your video description:

✅ This line acts as your automatic license. Claims are released automatically after upload.

⚠️ What to expect:

• You WILL see a claim when uploading your video — this is normal.

• YouTube will send you a confirmation a few minutes after publishing that the claim has been released.

• Do not make the video private. Keep it Unlisted until the claim is released to avoid delays.

• Once the claim is released, you can safely make it public and keep all your monetization.

2. CREATOR Plan (and Single-Track Licenses)

This applies to:

• Paid CREATOR plan (monthly or annual)

• Single-track licenses marked as CREATOR

These licenses do not include YouTube channel whitelisting. Instead, just use the keyword license.
