Navigating music rights on Twitch streams has long been a challenge, with copyright strikes risking your entire VOD. Enter Twitch Soundtrack, a game-changing beta feature that simplifies safe streaming.
As detailed on the Twitch Blog, Soundtrack by Twitch provides streamers with a curated library of copyright-cleared tracks. It integrates seamlessly as a dedicated audio source in your streaming software.
This setup prevents issues like full VOD muting from copyrighted music, as the tracks remain isolated. You can even mute them easily for exports or non-Twitch platforms.
Curated by Twitch alongside select streamers and industry partners, the library features songs from artists and labels granting worldwide, free streaming rights.
Currently compatible with OBS Studio 26.0+, with Twitch Studio and Streamlabs OBS support incoming. It's in beta for select users now, expanding soon—join the waitlist to get started.
Twitch partners with labels like Empire, Future Classic, SoundCloud, and UnitedMasters, covering diverse genres with artists including Above & Beyond, mxmtoon, Porter Robinson, RAC, SwuM, and more.
Musicians interested in featuring their tracks can learn more via the Twitch support page.
Past incidents, like the June 2020 DMCA takedowns of numerous music VODs, highlight the risks—3 strikes can lead to bans, though appeals are possible.
Twitch Soundtrack eliminates the guesswork, letting you enhance streams confidently and grow your audience without fear.
As seasoned streamers know, reliable music boosts engagement—check it out today.
