Video no longer available on YouTube after copyright claim

Windows Terminal is one of the most exciting new features coming to Windows 10, and after the official announcement at the Build developer conference, the official video published on YouTube recorded more than 1 million views.

And because Windows Terminal is an unreleased feature due to become available in June for insiders, users head over to YouTube to see what it’s up to.

Only that those looking for the YouTube video these days end up getting an error because the video was removed due to… copyright infringement.

While it sounds pretty odd for a company the size of Microsoft to have a YouTube video pulled because of a copyright claim, the message posted on the page says it loud and clear.

“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Musicbed.”

Video likely to be restored

Needless to say, the copyright claim concerns the audio track of the video, albeit you wouldn’t expect Microsoft not to have a license with the company that owns the copyright of the soundtrack used in a YouTube video.

On the other hand, the odd thing is that Microsoft does have a license with Musicbed, so removing the video for copyright infringement might after all be nothing more than an error on Google’s side.

Most likely, the automatic copyright scanners used by YouTube are at fault for the video removal, which means that Microsoft’s Windows Terminal presentation should be restored anytime soon after someone manually checks the copyright infringement claim.

In the meantime, if you want to learn more about Windows Terminal, you can read Microsoft’s official announcement here. We’ll keep an eye on the video page on YouTube and embed the video here once it becomes available once again.
