Hey Stream Scheme, maybe this is a bit "late", six months after the video was released, but I wondered about one thing, kinda important, and it surprised me that you didn't mention this in your video. Given that we ONLY play DMCA free music from either of the ones you mentioned (Epidemic Sound, Game Chop, Chillhop, NCS), with credit given, can we play the music on live feed AND on the VOD, or do we STILL have to split the channels? Thanks for any reply, I'll only accept answer from Stream Scheme as gold though.
Question: what if there is zero monetization in the video/channel? Most channels are for money but if the channel has zero monetization does this still apply?
pretty soon you will only be able to listen to music by yourself and if they ever find out you are listening to music with someone else you will be striked.
I was streaming for over a year bearly getting traction..... I start watching your video''s bam one month later now and im affiliate even got my first donation! :-) Thank you for all you do!!!
So many big streamers still think it’s ok to play copyright music but not save it to the VOD… the amount of misinformation that flies around is scary! Thank you for making this video! Started streaming in May and have been all over Gamechops and a couple other retro game remixers that are copyright free! It’s perfect!
I know a lot of Twitch streamers with thousands of viewers that play popular music while streamings. I feel like they should really know that it's safe, why else would they risk to get their account terminated with hundreds of thousands of followers?
@@patrikmedia Agreed. I do, too. I could name 2 or 3 BIG streamers off the top of my head who play 'popular music' (ie copyrighted) all the time but don't keep videos or don't include them on the VODs if they do. So having watched this, I'm more confused than ever. Oh well.
DMCA was established by a bunch of dysgenic gargoyle-looking lobbyists. It may be law but it impedes creation of transformative content. Any work around to fool the systems should be abused.
Every time I find some music that claims to be copyright free on youtube and use it, it imediately gets copyright struck. It's pretty infuriating, so I just dont use music anymore.
I was surprised Pretzel Rocks wasn't on your list. o: I don't stream often, but I actually really liked that their bot would send messages in chat with credits for each song (on the free plan). It was less for me to worry about and the artists were being credited, which I try to prioritize since I appreciate the music. ^^
@@brunomoreira622 I still get muted. Twitch uses a third party company to scan the VODs for music, and they don't follow any guidelines Twitch has with any agreed partner music programs like Pretzel Rock. A simple appeal unmutes the section in question. Never had a problem with any copyright strikes.
I would caution against NCS. I used them and certain songs were muted in my VODs... and because theyre muted you wont know which song is claimed if your songs are randomized
The very opening line of this video: exactly. Why do Spotify and Twitch both have, in their TOS.... words in effect, blocking people from using any music... even something like StreamBeats? I was arguing with people on Reddit (yes, I know), who insist that StreamBeats isn't legally ok, because of Spotify's TOS. What's the real story? Where is legal proof that it's all ok? Am I the only one out here who is completely confused by all this s--t?
I'm a Game Streamer mostly.. This Evening I'm in a Mood for Music.. And thought it'd be fun to choose a bunch of my Fav's and just Play them to my Channel and Tell my Feelings and why music is soo Soul Cleansing.. Share my Love through my Playlist.. IS THIS A PIPE DREAM.. Where do I even start this Adventure..
Your video's have really helped give me a straight forward education man thank you so much. I have watched hundreds of videos and everyone tries to find the loophole with this one. Thank you for always cutting to the chase.
I actually wrote the whole video and then I reached out to several of the Music options I used to ask if they wanted to sponsor it and give a free trial, or discount to viewers, because I know paid options are hard for beginners. Epidemic said yes, and also let me keep all the free options in the video.
The copyright reason is why I use my own music/music that I was given permission to use, whether it's bands that have publicly said it's okay, or it's music by friends of mine that they have given me permission to use
Our channel only uses music we've received permission for or a few songs from the RUclips library, and we credit as requested. Having said that, as he said, copyrights can change hands and agreements can expire, or artists can simply change their minds. Unless you have a contract in place, it's all informal and subject to change. Every content creator should learn at least the basics of intellectual property laws. There's plenty of RUclips videos that will get you started.
I've only gotten muted once so far, and you know what caused it? Playing Disney Dream Light Valley 🤦♀️ I guess Micky wasn't too happy, haha. But this is very helpful! You break everything down so well! I was very confused when I first read the TOS, then went into Twitch extension and saw some Spotify ones. The one I see a lot is a Spotify widget that shows what song you're playing. I wish Twitch would remove the extension because it's very misleading.
I do not understand why it can't be as easy as setting up an extension to cite the title and artist on the stream (which twitch already has) and set it so that viewers can't record the music. we can all listen to music on services and radio, why can't we do it while we are on stream while playing our games.
Because you’re earning money from it and using it without permission. Otherwise anyone could take and use anything they want, even your content, I could just re-upload all of it, we need copyright.
@@StreamScheme yes but you can’t tell me it doesn’t grind your gears that a small segment of audio that you may have accidentally included in your stream has the potential to ruin hours of work or worse terminate your account.
It really doesn’t bother me, I’ve been doing this for more than 3 years and never had a strike or actual claim because I just use what I’m allowed, even with react content and all types of music.
I have one question. I hear big streamers like TheBausffs play famous music in the background when he is live (probably a spotify playlist). This music is obviously copyrighted, but why doesn't he get problems? Is it because the music is not loud enough for systems to pick it up? like, how?
I was muted for SINGING a song. The only music I had playing was a mix from the RUclips audio library that was no attribution needed. Literally just SINGING will get your VOD muted.
Thank you for clarifying this. I mentioned this in the RUclips Survey that DMCA can be easy to understand but also easy to get wrong if you look at the wrong place for information.
Ik this comment is already one year old, but I'm asking the same question, because I want to start streaming on yt and I'm going through Google and even on yt to find out how streamers/yt can use the music even from games without copyright. I really need to know
This is what worries me still. I have this Spotify and idk if I can use it when streaming. So, I need clear instructions on that. I want to respect every piece of music, I do. But this scares me and most of my streams are all muted and I don't like a silent video streams.
My music channel got suspended for playing copyright FREE music , also had permission from some authors , still got permanent suspended . I didn't get any strike, no vods , I stopped streaming 10 months ago, then I got suspended 10 monts later lol
I've gotten to a point where unless I'm playing a game with another person my desktop audio is muted because I play games like fortnite where the experience is super weird if I turn off copyrighted audio. I also got sick of copyright free music so this is how I deal with it I would rather the viewers not have audio other than my mic over me getting in trouble for enjoying my time on stream
You know that DJ’s have to do literal mountains of work to be safe, and still get sent dozens of mutes and strikes but have no other option to keep trying?
sound track by twitch (beta) is one of the things that has many doing the live music not in vod idea. actually one of their selling points. if you get live muted by harris heller or instrasomething it does split the track and you still get the mute. And basically eljayem says its using music it shouldn't but telling you its ok to do so.
Thank you so much for this video 🥰 I was actually going to use some of the videos that said "Copyright free" on it for some copyright free gaming music until I saw this video and clicked on it. I REALLY wanted some gaming music that i was familiar with but I didn't want a copyright strike 🤣 So THANK you again, SO much!
I got flagged and I was just playing the regular game and talking even when I mute the music I still got flagged. Don’t know if anyone has this issue but…it’s irritating
I'd like to use my own music but I'm worried about getting hit. RUclips hit me 3 times for it and I had to explain to them each time that it's my music. I think I'll probably end writing some specific music for streaming vs using my released music. Better to be safe that sorry.
Thank you for the info. Just as a bit of constructive feedback, saying "I'll tell you later in the video" or "I'll show you in a bit" is usually a sure way to make people skip ahead or lose interest. People's attention span's are shorter and shorter and most want instant gratification. This having been said, again, thanks for the info and for the work that you put into making this video!
Hey, it's actually the opposite. It's called "Looping" and it increases retention rate because you're promising they'll learn more later. The same reason we add hooks or highlights at the start to get people hooked into the video. Peoples attention span is short, so they need to know its worth their time.
@@StreamScheme eh, hes right though. I did exactly what he said because I hate when people bait me with what I came to the video for. You have chapters anyways so I assume you figured people would skip around though
Thanks for this vid. I was under the impression that not having music saved to my VoDs was enough. Definitely gonna check out the services for my stream music.
I streamed with gamechop and chillhop before, and for Twitch those work great. But in uploading my vods to youtube, I've gotten several DMCA notices for those services, because according to YT their music resembles other music too much. Upon listening to what YT flagged and what they compared it with, I must say I agree. Not saying you shouldn't use or anything, just saying you should still be vigilant
I'm sketched out by any outside music since I got copyright claimed for in-game music. Fallouts got a lot of good music but even though its music coming from the game its muted it on many occassions.
Just realized I can save money when I go fishing because instead of buying new hooks, I just bring your videos with me and I’ll be supplied for life Kappa. Seriously tho, great vid, always great to refresh myself on DMCA stuff and royalty free music for streams/ RUclips.
Ok i noticed even if i play Free / copyright free music or NCM / No copyright music it still put my past video unpublished. It's to the point they don't care if its copyright free they want no music to be played om anyone's stream.
This was a total life saver, good to know to keep spotify isolated and off stream from here on out. Shout out to all the big corps shitting on the little guys.
By the way, game developers have noticed this trick about music copyrights and have increasingly started adding copyrighted music to their games in unexpected places so that playthrough players don't stream them, for example Pokemon did that in Scarlet and Violet by playing Ed Sheeran's new song Celestial in-game and at the end of it causing notices and takedowns for game streamers. But I don't know why game associations don't want their games to be streamed so desperately that they make such a nuisance.
This isn’t true :) Pokémon has always been intense about these sorts of things, Nintendo and gamefreak are just like that, but here is the thing ALL of their other music is totally fine, it’s just one song in the credits. I uploaded and streamed my entire scarlet playthrough and had zero issues. Other developers aren’t trying to trap or trick you either, that’s why they also often add streamer safe modes to turn it off. Sometimes games call for copyright music because it suits the world like GTA, this also isn’t a trick or trap, it’s just the game.
I dont get, for example KuruHS a favorite streamer of mine is listening to spotify all the time. its on his streams and youtube and people can even vote for songs and stuff! How do i do that do i have to pay thousands to creators just to use their music or is he using it so the systems dont pick it up? its just annoying i dont find a answer anywhere
Honestly, the music industry should wet themselvs that much. Lots of songs are even getting discoverd through live streamers. They actually should be thankful for actual free advertisement
When he says the live detection is on they mean it 🤣, was doing a test stream to check on quality with music on but sources separated so it didn't go in the vod... nope it got muted even though I know you couldn't hear the music in the vod. Got Epidemic Sounds just to be safe, there really are a ton of awesome tracks on it that perfect for gaming
I've been a bit worried about my music use. Glad there's a vid about it. I use spotify. I have a playlist of "loyalty free" music I've picked out of my fav genre, with artists like NCS and and Hyper Potions. The whole rights stuff confuses me because you usually have to go straight to a label to get that permission and some labels are hard to contact. Like BEC Recordings and Tooth and Nail records. My brother didn't even know how I could contact BEC regarding his bands first album.
Another one I'd recommend is ElectroDanceMixes - not all of the mixes they do are copyright free, but they do 1 hour Copyright Free EDM mixes every couple of months. I just pop them into a playlist and I'm set
Been following :) love that you covered this the DAY I was talking about this is chats. I use epidemic sound. Pay a sub fee. Supports the artists. No copy right worries... Cause I PAID lol
What if I have a friend that makes my music he asks for nothing but I always give me money because it is his music and his time that he uses to make custom music for me. I own 100% of the songs.
Isn’t the issue for VOD’s? If you separate Spotify/iTunes to a separate audio capture and have your VOD track setting not posing the Spotify audio capture device you’d have no issue cause it’s VODS specifically not live
@@theLvizzle Spotify! I usually search up Pokémon lofi, Mario lofi, anime lofi etc. there’s tons of playlists out there! C: RUclips is also another great source.
I love all of your videos and you have helped me out so much in my streaming journey, still gotta lot to learn but thanks for always making these videos and guiding me ahead, much love ❤
So this isn’t quite true, it IS copyrighted, it’s just that a lot of the labels don’t have the resources to strike you, but actually there are lots of examples of channels getting too big and actually being hit with strikes.
@@StreamScheme no IT"s true. I don't know where you been. Gaming music and the copyright thing as not been an issue on twitch. No matter how big or small a channel is. Trust when I said what I said with the experience and, the knowledge I have first hand. But you do you sis.
I *just* started streaming as a musician who plays and sings covers...3 months ago when I was considering streaming at all, I asked a Partner Streamer if this was a fruitless idea because I'd just get banned immediately and he assured me over and over that covers are okay and I of course noticed that every musician streamer I watched does non-original music at least some of the time. Is there any leeway for musical covers or are we SOL too? Like I should quit streaming and only try to produce music FOR other streamers to use?
There was a royalty free music group on like Newgrounds and I submitted something to it and found it being used in a Halo 3 machinima. Shit was awesome even had me in the credits. Make music that you want someone to hear... someone will hear it!
Depends on the game, ALWAYS check if they have a stream safe option. Many games use copyrighted music and you can get a strike for it playing even though it's in game because you are technically profiting off their art by playing it in your stream.
We should be able to stream whatever we paid for that includes the music. But what's even more Bs is that if your music from RUclips catches threw headset you will be filed for copy rights Twitch Sucks straight up
Ironically, some of the music that I got from NCS was copyrighted. In fact, the very first song that shows up when he sorts by Most Popular, Cartoon's On & On, is the track that gets muted.
Instead of using NCS, watch out for ACTUAL SMALLER music creators - NCS is great, and is a great starting point but there's so many SMALL music producers that will GLADLY let you play their music on their channel.
Wasn't someone working on making a plugin that would open the same music you were listening to in its proper source website and the viewer would have it synced via the plugin but it would count as a unique view. allowing you to listen to music, not have it in your stream, yet allow your viewers to listen along with you at the same time? Or am i just crazy?
I DJ Live on twitch and don't ever publish my VODS. Twitch does mute parts of my videos but it works for me. I haven't gotten a strike yet and been doing it for over a yr.
Another great video, Thank you. Can I make a suggestion...I use 'soundtrack by Twitch', It's completely free but you do need to make sure it's not saved to your vod and should only be used on Twitch.
I’m not a fan of sound track by twitch because the music I use in stream is such a integral part of the content, so if it is taken of the VoD it makes a worse experience.
My biggest problem with streams is I want metal and hard rock There is barely any metal and rock that's copyright free I also need a 100% FREE place to get guaranteed copyright free music I already pay for music streaming services, i dont want to pay for multiple
Are you able to use Nintey9Lives music on your streams? RUclipsr Ssundee and his friends run that and everything there you just need to post the info from their description.
Chillpop says that we need to download the songs in advance and credit them by copying links to each song. Is there a way to more easily give credit for livestreams using their music, without pasting 50+ links individually?
Yes ofc it was stupid but my stream got cut for copyright mid stream rather mid House of The Dragon episode. Viewers said a copyright notice popped up and I wasn't able to stream for 2 days(I think).

Thanks for this vid. I was under the impression that not having music saved to my VoDs was enough. Definitely gonna check out the services for my stream music.
I streamed with gamechop and chillhop before, and for Twitch those work great. But in uploading my vods to youtube, I've gotten several DMCA notices for those services, because according to YT their music resembles other music too much. Upon listening to what YT flagged and what they compared it with, I must say I agree. Not saying you shouldn't use or anything, just saying you should still be vigilant
can i still use sound alerts with copyrighted music?
I'm sketched out by any outside music since I got copyright claimed for in-game music.
Fallouts got a lot of good music but even though its music coming from the game its muted it on many occassions.
I've been using music with permissions, since a few days after my first comment, and I haven't had any issues
Thank you for the info, I started using stream beats on twitch. love it, glad that it is one that you as well recommended
can also recommend Streemtunes with a lot of different tracks and styles of music, all free
Just realized I can save money when I go fishing because instead of buying new hooks, I just bring your videos with me and I’ll be supplied for life Kappa.
Seriously tho, great vid, always great to refresh myself on DMCA stuff and royalty free music for streams/ RUclips.
this was a really long ad.
I provided several free alternatives :)
so annoying how we cannot play music 😒 we are literally just trying to vibe its not like we are throwing a concert.
I feel like you didn't watch the video, based on this comment.
Ok i noticed even if i play Free / copyright free music or NCM / No copyright music it still put my past video unpublished. It's to the point they don't care if its copyright free they want no music to be played om anyone's stream.
This was a total life saver, good to know to keep spotify isolated and off stream from here on out. Shout out to all the big corps shitting on the little guys.
By the way, game developers have noticed this trick about music copyrights and have increasingly started adding copyrighted music to their games in unexpected places so that playthrough players don't stream them, for example Pokemon did that in Scarlet and Violet by playing Ed Sheeran's new song Celestial in-game and at the end of it causing notices and takedowns for game streamers. But I don't know why game associations don't want their games to be streamed so desperately that they make such a nuisance.
This isn’t true :)
Pokémon has always been intense about these sorts of things, Nintendo and gamefreak are just like that, but here is the thing ALL of their other music is totally fine, it’s just one song in the credits. I uploaded and streamed my entire scarlet playthrough and had zero issues.
Other developers aren’t trying to trap or trick you either, that’s why they also often add streamer safe modes to turn it off.
Sometimes games call for copyright music because it suits the world like GTA, this also isn’t a trick or trap, it’s just the game.
I dont get, for example KuruHS a favorite streamer of mine is listening to spotify all the time. its on his streams and youtube and people can even vote for songs and stuff! How do i do that do i have to pay thousands to creators just to use their music or is he using it so the systems dont pick it up? its just annoying i dont find a answer anywhere
Honestly, the music industry should wet themselvs that much. Lots of songs are even getting discoverd through live streamers. They actually should be thankful for actual free advertisement
I mean… you’re saying you want to pay artists in exposure? Isn’t that just inherently a thing we all agree is terrible to do?
When he says the live detection is on they mean it 🤣, was doing a test stream to check on quality with music on but sources separated so it didn't go in the vod... nope it got muted even though I know you couldn't hear the music in the vod. Got Epidemic Sounds just to be safe, there really are a ton of awesome tracks on it that perfect for gaming
Ive used a Copyright free mix from RUclips for my stream. yeah this stream has 4 copyright strikes and ive needed to cut it out.
Fact that I’m buying music to play and can’t even use it is really stupid lol
I've been a bit worried about my music use. Glad there's a vid about it.
I use spotify. I have a playlist of "loyalty free" music I've picked out of my fav genre, with artists like NCS and and Hyper Potions. The whole rights stuff confuses me because you usually have to go straight to a label to get that permission and some labels are hard to contact. Like BEC Recordings and Tooth and Nail records. My brother didn't even know how I could contact BEC regarding his bands first album.
been using gamechops for almost a year now, really loving their music so much! even listening to the tracks in my free time.
No strikes?
@@HIM_TRAVIS none
I'm so confused. Why does XQC play music that is copyrighted and only some parts of his vod are muted. How is he not getting striked or anything?
Another one I'd recommend is ElectroDanceMixes - not all of the mixes they do are copyright free, but they do 1 hour Copyright Free EDM mixes every couple of months. I just pop them into a playlist and I'm set
I've had some sections of my twitch vods muted for copyright, but all the music I had on the stream was from NCS
Been following :) love that you covered this the DAY I was talking about this is chats. I use epidemic sound. Pay a sub fee. Supports the artists. No copy right worries... Cause I PAID lol
What if I have a friend that makes my music he asks for nothing but I always give me money because it is his music and his time that he uses to make custom music for me. I own 100% of the songs.
Isn’t the issue for VOD’s? If you separate Spotify/iTunes to a separate audio capture and have your VOD track setting not posing the Spotify audio capture device you’d have no issue cause it’s VODS specifically not live
That’s a myth, splitting your VoD tracks didn’t protect you, live strikes exist.
I cant understand this problem. It is free commercial for the owner.
I love hearing lofi video game sounds
Where? I must know this information!!! 😩😂
@@theLvizzle Spotify! I usually search up Pokémon lofi, Mario lofi, anime lofi etc. there’s tons of playlists out there! C:
RUclips is also another great source.
Yes a video has come out while editing! gonna watch it! already looks great again
I love all of your videos and you have helped me out so much in my streaming journey, still gotta lot to learn but thanks for always making these videos and guiding me ahead, much love ❤
Perfect timing:) I’ve been struggling figure this out!
YOURE ALWAYS SO HELPFUL ,
THANK U!!!!!
Bored w/ video after turning into a commercial.
this is why I used video game music to avoid this madness and it's tons to use that aren't copyrighted.
So this isn’t quite true, it IS copyrighted, it’s just that a lot of the labels don’t have the resources to strike you, but actually there are lots of examples of channels getting too big and actually being hit with strikes.
@@StreamScheme no IT"s true. I don't know where you been. Gaming music and the copyright thing as not been an issue on twitch. No matter how big or small a channel is. Trust when I said what I said with the experience and, the knowledge I have first hand. But you do you sis.
I use glitchy city myself. There channel is mostly pokemon music remixes with so many choices you can find anything to fit the mood
Thanks as always Eljay! 😊
Good to meet you at PAX this weekend, keep up the good work and great educational content 👏
Much appreciated! Did we get a Polaroid? Tweet it at me if we did!
@@StreamScheme was too crowded when we met and we were both heading in different directions! See you there next year for a snap ❤️
I *just* started streaming as a musician who plays and sings covers...3 months ago when I was considering streaming at all, I asked a Partner Streamer if this was a fruitless idea because I'd just get banned immediately and he assured me over and over that covers are okay and I of course noticed that every musician streamer I watched does non-original music at least some of the time. Is there any leeway for musical covers or are we SOL too? Like I should quit streaming and only try to produce music FOR other streamers to use?
There was a royalty free music group on like Newgrounds and I submitted something to it and found it being used in a Halo 3 machinima. Shit was awesome even had me in the credits. Make music that you want someone to hear... someone will hear it!
I don't play music in my gameplay streams, but does _in-game_ music count? (assuming it's a game that plays their OST like Terraria)
usually not. a game is played by millions over the world so people know the music already. you should be safe!
Depends on the game, ALWAYS check if they have a stream safe option. Many games use copyrighted music and you can get a strike for it playing even though it's in game because you are technically profiting off their art by playing it in your stream.
We should be able to stream whatever we paid for that includes the music. But what's even more Bs is that if your music from RUclips catches threw headset you will be filed for copy rights Twitch Sucks straight up
Ironically, some of the music that I got from NCS was copyrighted. In fact, the very first song that shows up when he sorts by Most Popular, Cartoon's On & On, is the track that gets muted.
The pains of record labels changing hands, same reason I specifically say, if it mutes… stop using it.
Thank You Eljay appreciate the heads up
Eljay out here again protecting the community
Instead of using NCS, watch out for ACTUAL SMALLER music creators - NCS is great, and is a great starting point but there's so many SMALL music producers that will GLADLY let you play their music on their channel.
Wasn't someone working on making a plugin that would open the same music you were listening to in its proper source website and the viewer would have it synced via the plugin but it would count as a unique view. allowing you to listen to music, not have it in your stream, yet allow your viewers to listen along with you at the same time? Or am i just crazy?
I haven't heard about Chillhop or Gamechops getting claimed, but Epidemic and NCS get claims all of the time so I wouldn't use either of them.
Another great music service is Monstercat Gold. They’ve got a huge library and come out with new stuff almost daily.
I DJ Live on twitch and don't ever publish my VODS. Twitch does mute parts of my videos but it works for me. I haven't gotten a strike yet and been doing it for over a yr.
Another great video, Thank you. Can I make a suggestion...I use 'soundtrack by Twitch', It's completely free but you do need to make sure it's not saved to your vod and should only be used on Twitch.
I’m not a fan of sound track by twitch because the music I use in stream is such a integral part of the content, so if it is taken of the VoD it makes a worse experience.
My biggest problem with streams is I want metal and hard rock
There is barely any metal and rock that's copyright free
I also need a 100% FREE place to get guaranteed copyright free music
I already pay for music streaming services, i dont want to pay for multiple
god are you gonna cover EVERYTHING later in the video??? like i’m sorry but pls be for real
Telling people more to come and then delivering on it is a bad thing now? Interesting, never seen someone be annoyed at something so small.
Are you able to use Nintey9Lives music on your streams? RUclipsr Ssundee and his friends run that and everything there you just need to post the info from their description.
Chillpop says that we need to download the songs in advance and credit them by copying links to each song. Is there a way to more easily give credit for livestreams using their music, without pasting 50+ links individually?
wtf.. I have been in this space for way longer than NCS even and I have no freeking clue who this Harris is. Sign me up? I am headed there now.
Yes ofc it was stupid but my stream got cut for copyright mid stream rather mid House of The Dragon episode. Viewers said a copyright notice popped up and I wasn't able to stream for 2 days(I think).
Video is very helpful! but is there a way to connect your streamdeck to epidemic sound???
I use the Pretzel Rocks Music App, haven't had problems with it yet.
DMCA needs to be abolished
No it doesn’t :)
What if the DCMA claims are coming from the music within the game? I got them from playing assassin's creed and destiny 2. I'm confused
Devs need to handle that, it can happen, and it’s on them. We can’t do anything as creators except mute and hope.
@@StreamScheme Yeah I cant save my vods anymore. I'm just wondering if its better for me to just do everything on youtube instead.
So basically you can't play music on twitch 😢
Love the videos can you do a video on how you have the music set up and how to add it into slobs?
I play it on my computer, and my software picks up desktop audio, ta da
Might have missed it, but is video game music ok? There's allot of really chill Nintendo music out there.
Not always, which is why I included the example of Gamechops.
Do you have a vid on how to add the music onto your streams? Like in OBS? if you do sorry for the question lol.
What's your take or anyone else in comments here to use old Snes or ps1 soundtracks?
i just was waiting for the sponsor ;D hahaha
