If you upload a short video that you've created elsewhere, make sure that any copyright-protected material that you've used is approved for your use on YouTube. Using copyright-protected material could lead to you getting a Content ID claim. Also, if a copyright owner, artist's label or distributor sends us a valid and complete copyright takedown notice against your Short video, it may be removed and you could get a copyright strike.
