- Microsoft has filed a patent for a tool that can identify copyrighted video content.
- The tool may be a standalone app or a plugin for some other product like Microsoft Copilot.
- The tool is said to work similarly to YouTube’s Copyright Match Tool.
Microsoft appears to be working on a new YouTube-like tool for videos. In a recently filed patent, the tech giant describes a product that users can use, like Shazam, to identify videos with copyrighted material.
As spotted by Windows Report, Microsoft may be working on an app that works similarly to YouTube’s Copyright Match Tool. This means that it would be able to automatically detect unauthorized use of copyrighted video content. The goal of the app is to give content creators and broadcasting companies a way to find this unauthorized material.
