When using Sermon Shots' built-in music library, you might occasionally receive copyright notices on platforms like YouTube or Facebook. Don't worry - all music in Sermon Shots is copyright-free. Sometimes automated systems incorrectly flag these tracks.

Why Does This Happen?

Platform algorithms (like YouTube's Content ID system) sometimes mistakenly identify our copyright-free music as copyrighted content. This is a known issue that can happen on social media platforms.

How to Handle Copyright Claims

Option 1: Dispute the Claim

  • File a dispute with the platform stating that the music is copyright-free
  • This often resolves the issue quickly

Option 2: Adjust Your Video Length

Option 3: Try Different Approaches

  • Select a different track from our library
  • Upload your video without music
  • Add platform-specific music after uploading
  • Try re-uploading the same video

Tips for Success

  • If one track consistently causes issues, try another from our library
  • Consider testing your video with different music options
  • Save a copy without music as a backup
