How Greenlist works
Approving accounts to use your music without a claim.
Your recordings are fingerprinted so that uploads using them can be identified. Greenlist is how you let a specific account use your music without that automatic claim landing on their video.
When to use it
- Your own channels — always greenlist these, otherwise you end up claiming yourself.
- A creator you have licensed the track to.
- A label or promo partner posting on your behalf.
- A music video uploaded by a director or channel that is not you.
Making a request
Open a support ticket with the exact channel or account URL and the release it applies to. Approvals are not instant and involve the platform, so allow time before a scheduled upload.
Greenlisting gives up the revenue from that channel's use of your track. That is the trade: no claim, no income from those views.
