• 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.

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.
To use the app, the user just has to submit a “target video” and a “reference video.” From there, the tool compares the two videos, checking if the target video:

• Has all the shots from the reference video.
• Includes groups of shots that are also in the reference video.
• Has shots that are all in the same order as the reference video.

But it appears users won’t need to have both a target video and reference video for the app to work.
