Soundtrack videogames

Rauru · Sunday at 9:12 AM

Hi there.

I got a new channel about some videogames soundtracks.
I upload every sond in a separate video no longer than 4 minutes. Then I got many videos and make playlists. In the future I'll upload 1 hour long content and longer.

In certain videos youtube warned me the soundtrack is claimed. It says it doesn't affect my video roght now but will affect my earnings once I'll start to monetize.

Do you know in which way?
Will that video be non-monetized at all or I'll have just a small share of the profit?

When YouTube's Content ID system flags your video with a standard copyright claim (and the owner has set it to "Monetize"), that video will not be non-monetized entirely—nor will you keep a small share of the profit.
Instead, 100% of the ad revenue generated by that specific video goes to the copyright holder. You make $0 from it

And before getting my channel monetized, are these videos useful to get subscribers and visualisation hours?

You can't monitise copyright content. If you could congratulations you just cured world poverty lol. Your channel might also get banned for the reason that it adds no value.

It's possible you won't receive any money from Youtube. Try re-uploading the original music; this might violate the "Reused Content" rule, preventing your channel from being eligible for monetization. Try adding your own creative gameplay footage, voiceovers, remixes, ... or use the music replacement feature in Youtube Studio.

A Content ID claim usually won't give you a strike, but it can limit monetization. In many cases, the copyright owner receives the ad revenue instead of you.

For standard copyright claims on video game soundtracks, 100% of the ad revenue goes directly to the game publisher or music publisher. You won't get a share of the profit unless the track is specifically enrolled in YouTube's Creator Music revenue-sharing program, which is pretty rare for original game OSTs. On top of that, reuploading raw game music without adding original commentary or visuals will almost certainly get your channel rejected for Reused Content when you apply for YPP
