When you’re watching a video that contains music, there may be a section in the video’s description called “Music.†This section shows info about the music heard in the video, like song and artist names.
YouTube automatically adds this info to some videos when:
- Videos are claimed by one of YouTube’s copyright management tools, like Content ID.
- Videos contain music from the YouTube Audio Library.
