Twitch Stream Safe Music

In light of the most recent wave of DMCA takedowns on Twitch, creators are understandably spooked. As streamers go through the painful process of cleaning their clips of copyright content – a second conversation on stream music is being had. Most streamers are looking for a way to continue to use music on their streams without fear of copyright issues. While in an ideal world, an affordable streaming license for mainstream music would exist, but so far, it does not.

I’ve put together this list to help streamers access a variety of music, for a variety of price points. Ranging from entirely free to roughly $30 a month, these services, artists, and labels have made clear that streamers can use their content as long as they meet the conditions listed. I hope this is helpful and will continue to add to it as time goes on! If there are artists, labels, or services I don’t have listed, please DM me on Twitter so I can add them!

**Please keep in mind, music licensing is complicated and while I’ve done my best to vet these (in multiple ways), things may change at a later date.**
