YouTube Enhances 'Erase Song' Tool to Better Handle Copyrighted Music

The AI-powered update allows creators to remove copyrighted tracks while preserving other audio elements in their videos.

The updated tool uses AI to identify and remove copyrighted music without affecting dialogue or sound effects.
Creators can mute all sound in flagged segments if the tool fails to remove the copyrighted song.
The feature is available on both desktop and mobile versions of YouTube Studio in the coming weeks.
YouTube warns that the tool may not always work perfectly, and alternative editing options are provided.
Creators must resolve copyright claims to monetize their videos, using options like trimming or replacing the song.
