The Manual claiming tool enables you to search through publicly available YouTube videos, looking for videos that include your content. You can claim the content and apply a policy to it.

To search for videos that match your assets:

1. Go to the Manual claiming page.

2. Enter search criteria in the search box in the upper right.

   You can enter keywords in the search box, which YouTube will try to match to video titles, descriptions, tags and other metadata. Entering @username or @channel ID will surface videos from a specific uploader. You can also click the down-arrow button next to the search box to apply filters based on other criteria, such as the length of the video, its claim status, or upload date.

3. Click the magnifying glass icon to perform the search.

   Videos matching your search criteria appear in the results list. Videos that have an active claim on them show the name of the claiming asset at the right end of the row.

4. Choose how to sort the search results.

   The Sort drop-down lets you specify whether to sort the results based on Relevance, Date uploaded, Lifetime views, or Rating.

5. Click the Play button that appears when you hover the cursor over the video thumbnail.

   You want to watch the video to confirm whether it includes content that you own. Next to the video you'll see four tabs: Claim, Takedown, Uploads, and Related videos.
