A copyright claim (like themeans that a piece of music or content used in the video is recognized by the copyright owner.
✅ It does not hurt your channel.
✅ It does not block your video.
✅ It’s just a notice that the music is being tracked (often for ad revenue).

A copyright strike, on the other hand, is serious. That means the content owner has requested the video be taken down, and your channel could be penalized.

This is just a claim, not a strike.
The video stays visible and functional.

I use licensed music through a commercial subscription so there’s no copyright infringement—just a platform-level notice we can clear if needed.
