UGC Rights Management Messages

We’ve simplified the process of requesting permission for user-generated content from creators. Once you’ve imported your chosen content, follow the steps below to proceed with the approval process:

1. Once your video is imported, a yellow warning icon will appear next to it.
2. Click on the video with the warning icon and select Request Rights from Author.
3. A pop-up will appear with a suggested message. Edit the message to suit your preferences, ensuring you include the link to T&C (what the creator is agreeing to).
4. Click Copy & Open Original to open the Instagram video.
5. Open a new direct message (DM) to the creator/author and paste the copied message. The message will include a link to a landing page for the creator/author to approve.
6. Once the creator/author agrees to your request, the rights status will automatically update in your Bam Hub, allowing you to use the content.
