How to Find ISRC Codes on YouTube

YouTube uses ISRC codes primarily through its Content ID system and for auto-generated Art Tracks (the music videos YouTube automatically creates for tracks distributed to YouTube Music). If you've distributed music through a label or distributor, your ISRC is likely already linked to your content on YouTube.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Log in to YouTube Studio at studio.youtube.com.
Navigate to Content in the left sidebar.
Click on the music video or Art Track you want to check.
In the Details tab, look for recording metadata — the ISRC may be listed in the content identification section.
If your content is managed through Content ID, the ISRC is linked to the sound recording asset in your CMS (Content Management System).

Tips

YouTube Art Tracks are automatically generated using metadata from your distributor, including the ISRC.
If you can't find the ISRC in YouTube Studio, check with your distributor — they provided the ISRC when delivering your music to YouTube Music.
Content ID uses ISRCs to match and manage sound recording assets across YouTube.
ISRC codes help YouTube properly attribute and monetize your music when it's used in other creators' videos.
