How to add music to your stream legally

Playing well known commercial songs on stream often triggers a copyright claim, a muted recording, or a stopped broadcast. That directly harms channel growth.

Choosing legal music protects you from this problem from the start and keeps your content safe over the long run.

Royalty-free libraries and stream safe services offer music that is cleared for on stream use under clear terms. Always read the license terms and keep proof of permission.

Alternatively, you can use work by independent Georgian musicians with direct permission. That gives you both a legal path and a way to support a local creator.

In OBS, music is added as a separate audio source so you can control its volume independently from your camera and game. That helps you quickly lower or mute the music when needed.

Also check the platform rules, since each platform has its own requirements for music left in a recording. Rules for a live broadcast and a saved video can differ.

Build a playlist of approved tracks and return to it rather than adding a new, unverified song each time. That keeps the risk to a minimum.

While music sets the mood on stream, a Donator alert keeps engagement going: viewers pay with any card, the alert appears instantly, and the amount is paid out in GEL to a Georgian bank minus a small fee.
