Music and rights: don't put just any track on your videos
A famous song can get your video taken down: here's how to stay safe.
Adding your favourite track feels harmless, but music belongs to someone. A video can be blocked, muted, or even removed if you use a protected song.
The right habits
Use the royalty-free music libraries offered by the platforms, or sounds made for creators. Always check the terms before publishing.
If you're unsure, hold off or choose a clear alternative. Protecting your work also means respecting the work of other artists.
