How to Check Your YouTube Channel's Copyright Status: Complete Guide
If you upload a video to YouTube that contains content from one of YouTube's content partners, you'll receive a Content ID claim. This won't affect your account status or remove the video. However, if a copyright owner files a takedown request, your account will receive a copyright strike for 90 days and the video will be removed. If it's your first copyright strike, you'll be required to complete Copyright School.[1]

If you receive three copyright strikes, your account and all associated accounts may be terminated and your videos will be removed. This wikiHow teaches you how to check copyright statuses on your YouTube channel.
Steps

Viewing Content ID Claims and Copyright Strikes

Go to https://www.youtube.com in your web browser. You can use any web browser on your desktop computer. If you are not logged in automatically, click Log In in the upper-right corner and sign in with the username and password associated with your Google account.

Click ☰. If you don't see the menu bar to the left, click the icon with three horizontal lines in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Click your Your Videos. It's in the menu bar to the left. This displays a list of your videos in YouTube Studio. Alternatively, you can click your profile icon in the upper-right corner and then click YouTube Studio. If your YouTube account has any copyright strikes or Content ID claims, they will be displayed in a window in the upper-left corner. To see a list of all your videos in YouTube Studio, click Content in the menu bar to the left.

Click Filter. It's at the top of your list of videos. It's next to an icon that resembles three lines with different lengths. This allows you to filter your videos by different categories, including copyright claims.

Click Copyright claims. It's in the list of categories that appear when you click the Filters icon. This displays all videos that have copyright strikes and Content ID claims on them.

Hover over the "Restrictions" column in the video list. This displays a pop-up with an explanation of the copyright claim against the video.

Click Show Details. This displays a detailed explanation of the copyright claim. The three boxes at the top tell you how the copyright claim affects your channel, whether or not the video is still visible on your channel, and whether or not it can be monetized. In the bottom row, you will see an explanation of the copyright content that was used, the content type, the time it was used in the video, the impact it has on the video, and who the copyright owner is.

Click Select Action. It's in the second row on the right side. This displays a list of actions you can take to resolve the copyright claim. Actions may include replacing the audio with a different song, muting a copyrighted song, contacting the copyright claimant to resolve the claim, submitting a counter-notification, or disputing the claim.

Select an action. This displays instructions on the action you selected. Follow the instructions to take action and resolve the claim. Deleting a video that has a copyright strike will not resolve the claim.

Click Copyright. It's in the menu bar to the right. This displays a list of all your copyright removal requests and the status of each. If you don't have any copyright removal requests, click New Removal Request in the upper-right corner. Fill out the form to submit a copyright removal request.
