# How to Verify YouTube Video Ownership on OpusClip

## Overview

To ensure compliance with YouTube's community guidelines and protect the original creators' rights, OpusClip requires users to verify their YouTube video ownership before submission.

## Verification Process

When uploading a video via a YouTube link, you will be asked to confirm your ownership of the channel. Please follow the prompts to complete this process.

## Unable to Verify?

If you're unable to verify ownership, such as when working on a client's channel, there are two alternatives:

1. **Alternative Submission Methods**: You can opt for different submission methods. Learn more about alternative submission methods [here](https://help.opus.pro/docs/article/video-sources-supported).
2. **Invite the Channel Owner**: Add the channel owner to your team workspace in OpusClip. Once added, they can verify the account directly. You can find out how to add them to your team workspace [here](https://help.opus.pro/docs/article/6219255-team-management).

Thank you for respecting creator rights and contributing positively to the community.
