Royalties Dashboard

  • Updated

The Royalties Dashboard is your main portal for managing revenue data and financial reporting. It is located under the 'Royalties' tab and organized into the following sections:

  • Accounting: Displays your monthly financial revenue data and houses all downloadable royalty statements. Your monthly royalty statements are the source for your downward accounting. 
  • Insights: Offers visual summaries and detailed breakdowns of your royalty earnings for quick and comprehensive analysis.
  • Sales: This currently represents the legacy version of the detailed royalties dashboard. While the new Insights pages offer enhanced visualizations and improved navigation, the Sales section and its functionality remain unchanged for now.

Definitions and Context


Revenue Types:

  • Ad-Supported: Income generated from users viewing advertisements on your content.
  • Premium: Income derived from users with a YouTube Premium subscription who watch your content.

Earnings Types:

  • YouTube Channel Income: Revenue generated from content directly uploaded to your YouTube channel(s).
  • YouTube UGC (User-Generated Content): Income earned from third-party channels that utilize your assets in their videos.
  • YouTube Manual Claim: Revenue resulting from claims processed manually by the FUGA team.
  • YouTube Art Track: Royalties generated from assets distributed to YouTube with their associated cover art as the visual component.

Claim Types:

  • Audio: Earnings specifically from audio content, such as sound recordings.
  • Visual: Earnings from purely visual assets, such as interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, etc.
  • Audio-Visual: Earnings from content that combines audio and visual elements, most commonly music videos.

Asset Types:

  • Art Track: Represents a track on YouTube consisting of a sound recording and its associated cover art (no premium music video).
  • Composition: Represents the underlying musical work. It contains metadata such as ISWC codes and writer information. A composition can have multiple owners per territory and can be embedded within a sound recording asset.
  • Movie: Represents a feature-length film. It includes metadata like ISAN/EIDR codes and director information.
  • Music Video: Represents the official video for a sound recording. It contains metadata such as Video ISRC, song title, and artist information. A music video asset typically embeds a sound recording asset.
  • Sound Recording: Represents the actual audio recording of a musical work. It includes metadata such as ISRC codes, artist name, and album title. A sound recording asset embeds a composition asset and can, in turn, be embedded within a music video asset.
  • Television Episode: Represents an individual episode from a television series. It includes metadata like season and episode numbers.
  • Web: Represents YouTube original video content or other types of video content that are not classified under the other specific asset types.

General:

  • Data categorized as 'Other' typically refers to categories that have not yet been mapped, were not reported to FUGA by YouTube, or have missing metadata from YouTube.
  • If you observe legacy categories like 'streaming' under claim types, this indicates historical sales data that has now been reclassified into 'audio,' 'audio-visual,' or 'visual.' These instances should decrease over time.
