IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The Music Policy Directory will be going away with Creator Studio Classic.
As you've probably heard, weāre in the process of moving over to the new and improved Studio. As a result, we're focused on migrating and building features where we see healthy usage with impact on creatorsā goals.
This one unfortunately didnāt make the cut. We introduced this Music Policies tool years ago to help creators proactively avoid copyright issues with music in their video. But itās seen low usage and would need substantial work to be migrated and improved. Moreover, weāve found that creators are addressing this need by uploading their videos as private or unlisted in order to spot any issues before publishing videos, which we plan to build a better experience around in the new Studio.
As always, if you need free and safe music and sound effects for your videos, check out our Audio Library. We add new music every month!

1:00 Youtube must've taken down their music policy directory because when I type it in the web browser, it says the page is not available.
-
Is it just me .... but I still donāt know what to do
-
As a musician I find this really frustrating, I want to do covers to boost my channel but worried about getting a strike
-
You literally spent all your hardwork and money just to explain us about this? That's really so good of you. ššš You will always be the best ššš
-
If you purchase music from Adobe Stock audio how do you use that in a youtube video? Is there some information that you have to give youtube to be able to monetize the video?
-
what if a song isnāt listed when u look it up?
-
this is important for youtubers to know: if you see "free" next to an instrumental on youtube, it just means its free for non-profit. if you use that song, your video will more than likely get a content ID claim from the producer still. I suggest just reaching out before hand to producers and ask for them if they would release the claim (or whitelist your channel from the songs) in exchange for a shout out. or you can just buy a lease and use the song forever in your videos! :)

YouTube removed their music policies page for ālow usageā. How unfortunate.
-
I learned the hard way.... š
-
I have been making cover videos for about 2 years using backing tracks. Since Iām doing this for fun and my own learning about video editing, Iām ok without monetizing. Iām thinking of possibly changing to a new channel with a new focus in the future, but for now Iām enjoying creating my music videos.
-
When i started youtube, i got many copyright music claims. But im still here, so iāll try to explain Using copyrighted music cant affect your channel like deleting your channel or deleting a video, it just doesnt let you get monetized for that one video and the video can be blocked in some territories Just try giving credit to the owner in the desc by giving a link to the song and telling them who the artist is and what its called.
-
I think you're okay as long as its not defamatory to the copywriter Essentially ad revenue on your video will go to the copyrighted owner anyway. You're Essentially helping the artist get streams which is a lowkey favor.
-
The high traffic from my channel starts at 6pm with the peak at 8pm. What time do you recommend posting the videos?
-
For this video, I have a question: for the channels that don't monetize, but have some copyrighted work in their content, are they hurting anybody specifically?
-
1:01 the site is unavailable. Please advise.

So nobody is gonna talk about how this Man is a hero for not making a 10 minute-long video about it?

When he said ādangerous gameā, I gave up...

Thank you for this post. I do have a few questions from it. 1. If you use a copyrighted song in your video and there are advertisements in your video. How are the royalties shared between the artist of the song and the artist of the video content? 2. If I am a songwriter/composer, how can I use my content safely in my videos without having my video striked or taken down? Thank you for your post. I hope to hear back in your responses.
