HOW TO LICENSE A SONG FOR YOUTUBE


To license a song for a YouTube video, you will need to obtain permission from the copyright owner of the song. This can typically be done by contacting the publisher or record label that controls the rights to the song and negotiating a license agreement.

Once you have obtained permission to use the song, you will need to include the appropriate attribution and credits in your video. This typically includes the name of the song, the artist, and the copyright owner. You will also need to include any applicable licensing fees or royalties in your budget for the video.

In some cases, you may be able to obtain a license for a song through a licensing platform or music library. These services offer pre-licensed songs that you can use in your videos, typically for a fee. This can be a convenient option if you are unable to obtain a license directly from the copyright owner.

It is important to note that using unlicensed music in your YouTube videos can result in copyright infringement and can result in your video being removed or your channel being suspended. To avoid this, it is important to obtain the appropriate permissions and licenses for any music that you use in your videos.
