    If you’re knowledgeable, I have a question. Years ago I uploaded a YouTube video that wouldn’t publish because of an automatic claim. I instantly disputed it, and it took like 5 or 6 months to resolve. But I saw someone today say that claimants had a week or two to respond to a dispute. Do you know if that’s the case now, or if someone was talking trash?

    (I found a similar claim on YouTube, but they may’ve found the same line and repeated it, and who knows if FAQs are actually up to date.)

      Honestly sounds like a glitch. Never heard of this before and from a quick search, I don’t see anyone else having this issue. Did this by any chance happen in 2022 summer-autumn? At that time youtube was modifying it’s dispute system and how many days it can take, which could have resulted in some oversight for some who were already in the process of it.

      Claimants have 30 days to respond, after which it is automatically thrown out and your video should be good to go. The 7 day thing applies to counter-claims and escalation, not standart disputes, so 30+7 days(x*), but not months of just waiting.

        I initially uploaded it on March 30th, 2021. YouTube still shows that as the upload date for the video, and I’m stuck on my phone at the moment, so I’ll look to see if I can find a date for the claim updates later to sate my own curiosity, but that’s recent enough that I trust my memory of it being months, plural. I got an email about the claim that day, disputed it, got a copyright strike the next day, disputed THAT… And was eventually approved. I don’t have another email about that video saying it was approved or dropped or anything, until there was another claim (after apparently a manual review) on February 9th of 2023, resulting in a regional block.

        So maybe it was because I disputed the actual strike and not just the initial claim?

        Not that I’m complaining at you. I’m just surprised. I thought this was typical. Though I was annoyed at YouTube. I thought the video could’ve done a little better on YouTube than it did in Vimeo if I pointed people there instead, you know? (100-ish on YouTube now vs 30k on Vimeo those months earlier. But it was a timely video.)

        But thanks for the insight. I appreciate it.
