Creator Music (YouTube)

Creator Music is YouTube's built-in music licensing marketplace that allows creators to legally use commercial songs in their videos. Creators can either purchase a license upfront to keep 100% of their video's ad revenue, or use the music for free and split the revenue with the rights holder. Creator Music provides access to a catalog of popular songs from major and independent labels, offering a legal alternative to unlicensed music use that would otherwise trigger Content ID claims. The feature is designed to help creators access high-quality music without the risk of copyright strikes or demonetization.
