How to Whitelist a YouTube Channel for Content ID
If you’ve licensed your track outside of That Pitch and need to allow a specific YouTube channel to use it without triggering a Content ID claim, you can whitelist the channel. This ensures the video won’t be flagged or monetized by That Pitch’s Content ID system.
How Whitelisting Works (Credit System)
Whitelisting works on a credit system—each request covers one video.
✔ If the channel has 1 video using your track, submit the channel once.
✔ If the channel has 4 videos using your track, submit the channel 4 times (once per video).
✔ If more videos are added later, you’ll need to whitelist them separately.

FAQs
How long does whitelisting take?

Can I whitelist multiple videos on the same channel?
Yes! Submit the channel once per video. If the channel has five videos using your track, enter the channel five times.
What if a video has already been flagged?
If a video using your track has already received a claim, the claim will be automatically lifted once the whitelist is processed.

No—whitelisting works at the channel level, but you must submit a request for each video in the channel that needs clearance.
