A reel was hit with a copyright strike.

Music, clips and reposted videos are the usual cause. Repeated strikes can restrict monetization, the Page or the account.

Use the copyright notice on the reel first. If you own the content or have permission, you can dispute or send a counter-notification through the official copyright route. If not, removing similar content reduces the risk of more strikes. Repeated strikes can restrict monetization, the Page or the whole account. Meta makes the final decision on restrictions; disputes with the rights holder follow its copyright process.

Dispute

Only if you own it or have permission.

Repeat strikes

Can restrict the Page or account.

Licensed audio

Use the built-in music library.

Three different situations

Audio muted: the reel stays up without the music.
Reel removed: a copyright report or match.
Page or account restricted: several strikes. See Page restricted.
