Guidelines for Using Music-Related Content
2024-09-05
Hi, Creators!
We would like to express our gratitude to all creators using Shorts Music.
We have important guidelines for creators who produce music-related content.
When using Shorts Music tracks as background music (BGM) in music-related content, the following issues may arise:
CASE: When adding Shorts Music tracks to original videos that already use music content
Issue 1: Revenue may not be aggregated due to YouTube's settlement structure.
Issue 2: YouTube might recognize the video as using duplicate music content and potentially flag the video.
To ensure safe revenue generation, Shorts Music advises against using the following types of content:
Reused content, Illegally copied content, Music-related content
These guidelines are intended to help creators ensure smooth revenue activities, so please be sure to follow them.
Thank you.
