**The Best Options for Copyright-Free Music on Twitch**

If you're looking to stream music on Twitch without worrying about copyright claims or strikes, there are several options available. However, it's worth noting that most of these options are specifically designed for YouTube and Twitch, with a few being more geared towards Facebook streamers.

One popular option is **Twitch Soundtrack**, which allows users to read music for creators and add music to their Twitch streams without fear of DMCA claims or strikes. This service offers a vast library of electronic music that's curated by Monster Cat, a well-known music label. However, it's not free – users have to pay $7.50 per month or $5 per month if they subscribe for a year.

Another popular option is **Monster Cat**, which has been around since 2011. When you reach the "Gold" level in their menu, you can access their music library and add songs to your Twitch streams without worrying about copyright issues. While it's not free – users have to pay $7.50 per month or $5 per month if they subscribe for a year – most users find that the quality of the music is worth the cost.

For those who prefer more flexibility, **Epidemic Sounds** is another option to consider. This service offers a vast library of genres and moods, as well as sound effects, which can be used in both YouTube videos and Twitch streams. Epidemic Sounds also has a subscription model, but users can access the music for free with no strings attached.

For those who want more control over their music choices, **Own Music** is a great option to consider. As the sponsor of this channel, Own Music recently launched a new lo-fi copyright-free music service that's perfect for streamers and YouTubers alike. With a vast library of songs available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Twitch Live Stream, Own Music offers users more options than ever before.

**Other Options**

Of course, there are other options to consider as well. **Stream Beats**, which has been around for years, can be a great resource for streamers who prefer low-fi background music. While some of the content can become repetitive, many users find that it's still worth using – especially when combined with Epidemic Sounds or Own Music.

Ultimately, the best option for copyright-free music on Twitch will depend on individual preferences and needs. Whether you're looking for a specific genre, mood, or sound effect, there's an option out there for you.

**Conclusion**

If you're looking to stream music on Twitch without worrying about copyright claims or strikes, there are several options available. From popular services like Twitch Soundtrack and Monster Cat, to more niche options like Epidemic Sounds and Own Music, users have a wide range of choices when it comes to copyright-free music. Whether you prefer electronic music, sound effects, or lo-fi beats, there's something out there for everyone – so don't be afraid to experiment and find the perfect fit for your streams.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe big word dmca took the streaming world by storm but recently not many people are still talking about it which makes it feel like the problems are kind of gone but they aren't everyone thinks this is the dmca apocalypse totally it's not you haven't even seen the dmc apocalypse yet it hasn't even begun the expounding is gonna come from when warner brothers and when universal and when the big guys come in you can't even imagine now no matter what you think about copyright law or these companies making claims the solution to the average streamer is pretty simple and i'm gonna tell you all about it after this sponsor segment if you're a streamer and you're looking for graphics for your stream then this website is amazing it's onto tv and when you go to overlays and then to complete packages you can find a big amount of stream designs they are all animated and when you click on them you will go to their separate page and here they have a preview tool and this is amazing i can click on scene transition this will show you the transition i can click on offline banner that will show the offline screen same thing with animated talking banner you can preview everything that's inside of a pack and then the site if you want to buy it i will link their website in my description and my code tv and gives you 50 of the price if you're looking for stream graphics this is a great website the designs are high quality they are fully animated onto tv check them out now finding copyright free music used to be a real struggle but right now since so many streamers learn about dmca and they start playing copyright free music instead of just playing whatever spotify song they wanna play new people got into the business of creating copyright free music because it's just really profitable however you still need to be careful because some of the sources still require you to give attribution a great example of this is ncs everyone is just shouting use on cs it's free but when you go to their website and then the usage policy and then right here how do i credit the songs then you read that if you're a streamer you simply put music provided by spotify ncs in your stream's description now giving attribution like this isn't a big deal but it just shows that you need to be careful when using copyright free music because everyone thinks that you can just use ncs but when you dive into it you see that you have to attribute them if you do happen to get a claim from them and this is the same for almost all copyright free music sources you can just go to their usage policy and then right here you see i received a claim and then here you can report a false copyright claim and then usually they will take care of it the second one on my list is one that doesn't require you to give attribution and it's stream beats from harris heller you can do whatever you want with the stream beat songs you can play them on stream you can download them to your pc and then use them in youtube videos on the website streambeats.com you can see all the albums that they have and here you can find them on spotify apple music and then amazon music and if you go to create you can download the tracks here and you can also find the stamps and then the tabs as well as a license which protects you against any future claims this is a great thing to feel safe when using your music they have a bunch of genres rock sin wave lo-fi ambient edm dubstep and to be honest the songs are pretty good we are listening to a rock song of them right now to be honest i really like the songs they are working really hard on creating more songs and more albums the only problem they have right now is that there aren't enough songs yet when you only listen to a few jars you're quickly going to hear songs repeat and you're also going to hear the same songs in other people's streams now i heard that they are trying to release one new album every week and i'm sure that they are working on upscaling the production of songs so it should get better but that's the only downside right now other than that great music you should definitely check it out i'm releasing a video on copyright free music sources what about doing a little promo for stream beats live right now oh for you to like clip and throw in there sure yeah hey uh extreme beats will give you the fattest cheeks where's the beats stream beats stream beats the sexiest elevator music in town we get anything worthwhile however there is a big problem when it comes to playing copyright free music on stream and it's called facebook and this counts for all copyright free music by the way not only stream beats but on the discord of streambeats you can read can i play stream beats on facebook gaming short answer kind of and the long answer comes down to this there is nearly zero safe music for facebook streamers unless you're partnered with them and then just like other companies that i will mention in this video they say we are working on this but it will take a while this is pretty sad for facebook streamers and i'm gonna get more into it during the third pick of today which is pretzel rocks this is a great source for music on your stream and they have a free and a premium plan the biggest difference between free and premium is this right here mandatory chat attribution if you pay for the service you don't need to give credit if you use it for free then you will have to install their bot which will post every song that you're playing in your chat to be honest i don't think this is a big deal since many viewers always want to know what song you're playing so that if you use pretzel rocks for free then every time you play a new song it will just be posted in chat i don't think this is a big deal they have a separate program that you can install which is kind of like spotify but only with music that you can play on stream and here they have over 300 000 songs that are safe for twitch and then 5 000 for youtube and they are working on increasing the amount of songs you can play on youtube now this is what the chat bot looks like if you go to the settings then you can scroll a bit down and then right here you can see send test chat message if i click on it then you can see here in my twitch chat this will be your song with the link just make sure if you stream on youtube on the home page you can see enable youtube safe if you do that then only the 5 000 songs that are safe for youtube will be played when you just skip to next songs you can also enable it right here in the player youtube save mode and when you go to their website you can also play it in browser which will give you the same player but not on your pc they also have a third option which is compact mode and that gives you a mini player where you can start stop skip songs like them dislike them stuff like that and then the same thing about facebook on august 1 2020 they said facebook is no longer supported but then on december 11 2020 they said we are currently talking and working with facebook to hopefully resolve using pretzel rocks on the facebook gaming platform and here you can read again it's incredibly complex and will take time but we're moving forward slowly it's the same thing with all platforms it's hard to work with facebook on this issue and the only info i found from facebook about this issue is from september 2020. in this article they say that they are really happy to announce that partners can now stream music and there are two big comical things about this they say that even if you are a facebook partner the rights for music are complex blah blah blah blah blah so we are unable to disclose which songs are not covered making this answer wholly unsatisfying that's a big understatement so they say that if you're a facebook partner you can stream copyrighted songs from let's say spotify but they are unable to tell you which songs you can't so you might end up with a muted stream a muted video a deleted video because you can't know for sure if the song that you're playing is actually allowed or not this is just crazy and if you read the rest of the article it comes down to this if you're not a facebook partner you can definitely not stream copyrighted music and to be honest you're also not safe when streaming copyright free music so if you want to be a hundred percent safe on facebook then this is your only solution all creators have access to a library of custom music and sound effects at no cost blah blah blah the facebook sound collection now let's take a look at what this is right here facebook sound collection it will bring you to your creator dashboard to creative tools and then here these are 8 410 songs you can check them out listen to them see which ones you want to play on your stream you can download them by clicking on this button here playing music on facebook is just really unsatisfying and at this time there isn't really a great solution to it then the fourth option is twitch soundtrack it also has an app like you see right here and it obviously only is for twitch so what this app does is it creates a separate audio source in obs or in stream of zobias and that will be used for your music now twitch cleared all the rights for the music on their app right here for being played live but they didn't clear the rights to be saved on your vault which is the video of your stream which is being saved after you stream so because of that this music will be played on your stream but if we go to the advanced audio settings of the source that they create you will see that audio for twitch soundtrack goes to your track too and then when we go to our settings and output now we see right here audio track this is what's being used for our stream is audio track one and then your twitch volt track is tracked through and so what's happening to the twitch vote track is that it's not being saved in your vault once you stop streaming so the music that you play on twitch soundtrack will be hearable on your stream but when you stop streaming and then the file of your stream is being saved on twitch it will be without music now this all sounds like a great thing but this is just a solution because they can't clear the music of the rides if you play music that's completely safe on twitch then you can stream with it and it will be saved in your vault and it won't be muted which is the case for most of the options in this video so twitch soundtrack definitely is an option but i would look at other solutions instead of using this to be honest now the fifth option for today is a really popular one it's been around since 2011 and it's monster cat when you go to gold in their menu you can read music for creators add music to your twitch and youtube live streams and youtube videos with no fear of dmca claims or strikes but it's not free it's seven and a half dollars a month or five dollars a month if you subscribe for a whole year it also comes with a player that looks like spotify and i think that most of their music is electronic music i'm not entirely sure but if you listen to their songs and you like most of them i definitely think that it's worth it to subscribe to monstercat because they have a lot of great songs and the gun for facebook streamers as you can read on their gold page it's only for twitch and youtube i'm looking forward to seeing what facebook will do in terms of music they seem to be working on it but how much will they invest into fixing this issue do they even care about non-partner facebook streamers wanting to stream music i'm not sure i guess the future will tell but for now most or even all of these options are for twitch and youtube now the sixth option in my list is epidemic sounds and it's what i use for my youtube videos i feel like in the past they only had this free sounding jingle like music but right now the music is actually pretty good they have a lot of genres a lot of moods you can also subscribe for it to use it on stream and then also use it in youtube videos and then you have a bunch of sound effects to use they also not only have normal music but also for example soundscapes when you make a youtube documentary you can search for documentary and then they have a bunch of soundscape for example dark documentary these are things that you won't find in the other lo-fi copyright-free music sources so if you're a twitch streamer plus youtuber or youtube streamer plus youtuber then you definitely should take a look at epidemic sounds because it's great for stream music and also for video music and clip music with sound effects a lot of things on this website and i'm not entirely sure but i think if you use my affiliate link you got one month for free i'm not sure but i will add the link to the description so you can check it out if you want and then the seven source of copyright free music in my list is owned music now you will recognize it because it's the sponsor of most of my videos but they recently started creating lo-fi copyright-free music and first i didn't want to put this in the list because it seems biased since it's my main sponsor but many people are looking for lo-fi background music for their streams and as i said a bunch of these options like stream beats it soon gets repetitive if you stream low-fi from stream beats every stream so in that case you can check out own music they have it on spotify on apple music on youtube music and they also have a twitch live stream where they have a 24 7 stream of lo-fi background music in the videos you see four days ago they added a bunch of songs one week ago three weeks ago they added a lot of songs that it seems so they are adding more and more songs if you're into lo-fi music definitely check out owned music now i'm really curious which of these options you are going to use on your stream so definitely let me know in the comments if this video was helpful i would really appreciate it if you would like it every time you click on the like button my video shows up on someone else's homepage not exactly but you got the point liking my video helps me a lot in the algorithm thank you so much for watching and i hope that i will see you in one of my next videos have a nice daythe big word dmca took the streaming world by storm but recently not many people are still talking about it which makes it feel like the problems are kind of gone but they aren't everyone thinks this is the dmca apocalypse
