When you license music for online or social media through MAIA Universe, our music team will ensure your social media accounts or videos are whitelisted.
For Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok
To ensure your content is correctly identified, provide us with direct links to the Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok profiles where you'll be using the music.
Open your project page.
Navigate to Social media accounts.
Add direct links to the social media profiles where you will post your music.
Note: You must add your social media profile links before checkout. You cannot add social media links after checkout is complete.
For YouTube
YouTube uses an automated Content ID system to scan uploads for music. Seeing a "Potential Claim" on a new upload is normal.
You can add your YouTube video URLs to your project page at any time, before or after checkout.
Step-by-step YouTube setup
Upload as Unlisted: Set your YouTube video privacy to Unlisted. This allows us to clear claims before the public sees your video.
Add the link: Paste your YouTube video URL into your project page.
Wait for clearance: We will review your link and clear any claims.
Publish your video: Switch your video setting to Public once we confirm clearance.
What happens next?
Quick Claim Clearance: We work hard to clear any copyright claims as soon as you've licensed a song and provided the necessary social media links.
Allow Time for Review: While we aim for a quick turnaround, allow some time for our team to review the information.
We'll Keep You Updated: We'll send you a notification once your content has been successfully whitelisted and any claims have been cleared.
Get ahead of the weekend: Pre-submit your weekend uploads
If you plan to publish over the weekend, submit your video links before Friday. Pre-submitting gives our team time to clear claims so your scheduled launch goes smoothly.
What if a claim isn’t removed?
Occasional technical errors or incorrect third-party claims can occur. If a claim persists on your video, contact us directly at [email protected].
