Short answer: No. For all non-exclusive tracks, automated YouTube Content ID administration cannot be deactivated as an isolated feature while keeping your music active on the platform. To opt a non-exclusive track out of Content ID tracking, it must be removed from That Pitch entirely.
Content ID is an essential security layer used to track, protect, and monetize your catalog across the web. Disabling it while your music remains distributed across our library network would create massive operational conflicts and violate our centralized administration architecture.
⚠️ Note on Exclusive Tracks: Tracks signed to an Exclusive Tier are governed by separate library guidelines. They are never automatically registered under That Pitch’s automated Content ID system, meaning you are required to manage and administer their digital fingerprints independently from day one.
What Are My Options for Non-Exclusive Tracks?
Because our backend database uses a centralized administrative model, you cannot selectively toggle Content ID off for individual active files. If an external sync placement, sample clearance issue, or catalog sale requires you to alter how a non-exclusive track is managed, you must choose one of the two paths below:
1. Remove the Track Completely From the Platform
If you must stop our automated YouTube Content ID tracking, you must submit a formal platform offboarding request. This action is global and will simultaneously execute the following across our network:
Delete the track and its metadata from all 100+ non-exclusive partner music libraries.
Release your digital fingerprints from That Pitch’s automated YouTube Content ID asset registry within 48 to 72 hours.
Pull the track permanently from all active and future platform pitching pipelines and sync opportunities.
To initiate a full asset teardown, log into your profile and navigate to Account Settings → Support → Request Track Removal to submit an authenticated dashboard ticket. Standalone external emails are not accepted.
2. Whitelist Specific Videos or Channels (Preferred Option)
If your non-exclusive music has been licensed outside of That Pitch and your client is receiving automated copyright claims on YouTube, you do not need to delete your music from our platform. Doing so sacrifices all your active library sync revenue. Instead, you can instantly clear their specific destination via your dashboard settings. This allows you to:
Keep your track fully active, distributed, and earning in our partner libraries.
Maintain automated Content ID monetization everywhere else across the internet.
Cleanly avoid legal friction with external, authorized licensing clients.
To drop a flag for a client, go to your Licensing Settings, input your client's exact YouTube channel URL or video link, and click Grant License. Automated whitelisting clearances are processed and applied globally within 24 hours.
Summary of Rules by Catalog Tier
Catalog Status | Content ID Status | Removal Action Required to Stop Tracking | Whitelisting Available? |
|---|---|---|---|
Non-Exclusive | Centralized & Mandatory | Full Account/Track Purge (via Dashboard Ticket) | Yes, via Dashboard Settings |
Exclusive | Independent (Managed by You) | None (Handled via your external administrator) | N/A |
Simple version: Non-exclusive music must remain in That Pitch’s Content ID registry to maintain platform distribution. To fully halt Content ID tracking for a non-exclusive asset, the track must be completely removed from the platform via an authenticated support ticket under Account Settings → Support. For exclusive tracks, Content ID is managed by you independently from day one.
