What Music Can You Play on Twitch?

On Twitch, you can only play music that you have the legal rights to use. That means no copyrighted songs from Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Music unless you own the rights or have a proper license. Twitch has strict rules, and violating them can result in muted VODs, takedown notices, or account bans.

✅ What Kind of Music Is Allowed on Twitch?

To stay safe, here’s what you can play:

Original music you created
If you’re a producer, DJ, or musician and own the rights to your music, you’re free to stream it.
Music licensed for Twitch use
Use music libraries that grant explicit rights for live streaming. Some options:
- Soundtrack by Twitch: A curated library of safe music
- Epidemic Sound (with paid subscription)

Copyright-free or royalty-free music
Songs that are released into the public domain or under Creative Commons licenses. Always verify the terms.
