How to File a DMCA Takedown on XVideos
XVideos is one of the most-visited websites in the world, which makes it a prime destination for stolen clips and leaked paid content. It is operated by the WGCZ group, the same network behind XNXX, and the two sites share a takedown process, so a well-prepared notice can clean up both. Here's how to file.
Before you start
- Proof you own the content, the original file or the page where it was first published (your creator platform, your site).
- Every infringing URL, copied from the address bar. Search the site for your stage name, real titles, and common misspellings before you file, so one notice catches everything.
- A monitored email address for the response and any follow-up questions.
- Decide who signs. Filing through an authorized agent or a takedown service keeps your legal name off the notice, the agent's details appear instead of yours.
Step 1: Locate the official removal channel
Scroll to the footer of any XVideos page and look for links labeled Content Removal, Report, or Legal/DMCA, that's the current official route. Published takedown guides also document [email protected] as the site's longstanding DMCA contact; confirm the address on the site's own legal pages before sending anything, and never rely on emails posted in forums.
Step 2: Choose DMCA or the non-consensual route
If you own the copyright, file a DMCA notice. If you appear in the video, whether or not you own it, you can use the site's non-consensual content reporting option instead, which requires no ownership proof and is often faster. Since the 2020+ industry-wide changes, major tube sites remove content from unverified uploaders quickly once someone depicted objects.
Step 3: Draft the notice
A valid DMCA notice needs: identification of your original work (title, where and when it was first published), the exact URLs of the infringing copies, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are the owner or the owner's agent, and a physical or electronic signature.
Step 4: List the XNXX copies too
Because XVideos and XNXX share infrastructure and a removal process, search XNXX for the same clips and include those URLs in a parallel notice. Leaks on one WGCZ site almost always exist on the other.
Step 5: Submit and keep records
Send the notice through the footer form or documented contact, and save a copy of everything, the notice text, the URL list, and any acknowledgment you receive. You'll want these if you need to escalate or re-file.
Step 6: Check back and escalate
Give it three to five business days, then re-check every URL. If copies remain, follow up referencing your original notice, and file a Google Search removal request so the pages stop ranking for your name while you wait.
What happens after you file
Valid notices generally result in removal within days, and repeat-infringer accounts can be terminated. The uploader may counter-notify, which pauses things until the dispute resolves. The real work is persistence: popular leaks get re-uploaded under new titles, so weekly searches and prompt re-filing are what keep the site clean. If you'd rather not spend your evenings doing that, Rulta handles monitoring, filing, and follow-up for creators, under its own name, not yours.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the XVideos removal page?
Scroll to the footer of any XVideos page and look for links labeled Content Removal, Report, or Legal/DMCA. Always use the link on the site itself rather than a URL from a forum post.
Does one notice to XVideos also cover XNXX?
XVideos and XNXX are both operated by the WGCZ group and share a removal process, but list the URLs from each site explicitly so nothing is missed.
How fast does XVideos remove content?
Well-documented notices are typically processed within a few business days. Non-consensual content reports from people who appear in the video are often handled faster.
Do I have to use my real name?
A DMCA notice you sign yourself carries your legal name and may be shared with the uploader. An authorized agent or takedown service can sign and file in its own name instead.
What if the video is re-uploaded after removal?
Search the site for your titles and watermarks every week or two and re-file for new copies. Each new URL needs its own notice or a follow-up on your original thread.
