The Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits anyone from sharing copywritten material, including music, without permission. Streaming DMCA-safe music is important. Without those rights, streamers put their livelihoods at risk. Creators should be able to monetize their channel and videos without fear that they will be demonetized or taken down. We believe in helping all creators turn their passion into a business, including the musicians, artists, singers, and songwriters creating music for you to listen to.

Twitch values the work of songwriters, musicians, and other creative artists. As a company committed to supporting creators, we respect, and ask our users to respect, the intellectual property of those who make music and those who own or control music rights. We know that you may have questions about what types of music content you can safely share on Twitch. We ask that creators only share content for which they have the necessary rights. It is a violation of our policies to stream or upload content containing copyrighted music unless you have the appropriate rights or authority to share such music on Twitch. Please note that buying music such as a CD or mp3 or subscribing to a music streaming service typically does not grant rights to share the music on Twitch. Such a purchase or subscription grants you a personal license to access the content only for your personal and private playback. In the sections below, we describe some common types of music content, along with some information about whether you may or may not share that content on Twitch. If you violate these guidelines, you may be subject to a takedown notice from music rights holders under our DMCA Guidelines. We may also take action under our Community Guidelines.
