The streamer took the opportunity to showcase Twitch's automated copyright claiming system and started showcasing the alleged copyrighted content clip by saying:

During a recent livestream on July 28, the 26-year-old gamer revealed that Twitch had issued a copyright warning for a VOD after they detected copyrighted music playing in the background.

After seeing and analyzing the situation, Albert decided to showcase the livestreaming platform's antics to his viewers by loading up the July 23 broadcast and continuing the conversation:

"All right, take a look at this. I'm going to show you guys where they detected copyrighted audio. Uhh... let's see."

The streamer navigated the timestamp on the VOD and said:

"03:14 (the three-hour mark of his old livestream), yep, 03:14:06. Okay, are you guys ready? Listen. Listen very closely, this is the copyrighted audio they've detected in my VOD. Listen."

After playing the five-day-old livestream for three seconds, Albert stated that Twitch decided to issue a warning to him while he was busy playing TFT on stream. The minute-long clip ended after the content creator stated:

"That was it! They said that I was playing copyrighted music here."
