Can I Remove My Tracks from YouTube Content ID but Keep Them on That Pitch?

Short answer: no — tracks can’t be removed from YouTube Content ID while remaining on That Pitch.

Content ID is part of how we protect your music and ensure proper monetization across platforms. Removing a track from Content ID while it’s still being represented can create conflicts, especially when libraries are licensing your music non-exclusively.


What are my options?

1) Remove the track completely

You can choose to remove your track from That Pitch entirely. This will also remove it from:

  • Our partner libraries

  • YouTube Content ID

  • Future pitching opportunities

2) Use preferred option: whitelist specific videos

If your music has been licensed outside of That Pitch, you can whitelist specific YouTube videos or channels so they won’t receive Content ID claims.

This allows you to:

  • Keep your track active in libraries

  • Maintain monetization everywhere else

  • Avoid conflicts with licensed uses


We generally recommend whitelisting over removal so you can continue maximizing opportunities while maintaining control over external licenses.

Simple version: tracks stay in Content ID while on That Pitch — but you can whitelist licensed uses anytime.
