Embodiments of this application disclose a video detection method and a server. The method includes: obtaining first video data to be detected; decoding the first video data, to obtain audio data of the first video data; analyzing and identifying the audio data, to obtain audio fingerprint data corresponding to the audio data; querying an audio fingerprint library; obtaining a video label and a time parameter corresponding to the audio data when the audio fingerprint library comprises the audio fingerprint data; querying a video copyright library, to obtain a first picture that is corresponding to the video label and that satisfies the time parameter, and extracting a second picture that is in the first video data and that satisfies the time parameter; separately extracting a first feature parameter of the first picture and a second feature parameter of the second picture; and comparing the first feature parameter with the second feature parameter, and determining, based on a comparison result, whether the first video data is consistent with a video in the video copyright library.
