I am so excited about this!!!! Streamyard folks are definitely stepping up their game. I'm like "blog talk who..." former user of that site, since finding streamyard, never looked back.

[@StreamYard]

Thank you! Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@MarriedManWoodworking]

Thanks for this feature. Being able to load our own music will be nice in the future but this is very helpful to get us started.

[@StreamYard]

Thanks for the feedback. In due time. The key thing is using a sound bed that won't get impacted by copyright issues. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

@@StreamYard you risk that when you upload videos to play on your broadcast. We do a weekly show that is music oriented. We have guest stars on and we show their videos. Most of which are copywrited but we know what to do to get the needed permission. I have been asking since the beginning to be able to play music and I'm glad to see that feature is being added but it really doesn't do someone like myself any good if we can't play our own music or the music of our guest. I guess I'm having a hard time "buying" the reason being given when that risk is the same when we upload videos.

[@StreamYard]

@@tazziemae outside of adding background music from the studio, if you have a mixer or virtual audio setup, you can run your music in you stream as well. Have you tried either of those options? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@JenniferWendySpeaks]

I'm excited about this! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@StreamYard]

You are so welcome!

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Awesome..... Very well explained.... I'm going to test it right now.....Thanks Christian!

[@AllAmericanDreamChaser]

I've been waiting for this! Thank you so much!

[@StreamYard]

Glad to hear! Let me know if you have any feedback about this tutorial, or others you would like to see. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@donnajustbeingreal6607]

Feeding the Ducks is the only one I like. I can't wait for more of variety of music and be able to upload our music. I know it new. In time it will get better. 😊

[@MAntisLew1]

I love feeding the ducks! I can bump that all day loud 😆👍

[@GarryRedman]

This is fabulous! I'm already using the feature in my podcast. What I am hoping for in the future is that we have the ability to add non-copywrite music in the same way. Currently we would have to load it in a movie (video) file and play (the way Kirk Nugent has shown us to) that way.

[@StreamYard]

Hi Garry, You can also bring in the audio from a mixer, virtual audio routing cable, such as VoiceMeeter or Loopback as well. If you have additional feature requests, please submit them to us here: forms.gle/1MTHi4hyUxS7DVKU7 Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@EstherNosotrosVlog]

Thank you for informatiom. I need also a background music when I'll do streamyard and comfortable no cpr.

[@StreamYard]

Are you asking for different music? You can either add your own through hardware or third-party software, or use the background music tracks we've added. If you would like to submit ideas for additional tracks, please share them here: forms.gle/1MTHi4hyUxS7DVKU7 Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@minivlog757]

Thank you sir

[@LONDONBRIDGEBRICKS]

This is a great feature - but please 🙏 it would be so much better if we can use our own tracks of music sometime in the not to distant future

[@StreamYard]

Great suggestion. Can you please submit this as a feature request here: streamyard.com/contact Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@AmyLyleauthor]

Very helpful.

[@K-a-R]

That's a good start. Thank you stream yard for adding music for our live streams. My only question is: Will we ever get a copyright notice from KZbin if we play any of these tunes during our live stream?

[@StreamYard]

You shouldn't. Hence why you cannot upload your own music at the moment. It's all about figuring out licensing. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@MAntisLew1]

Great tutorial

[@StreamYard]

Thank you! Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@DadaShare23]

This is so cool

[@TheCareerStrategists]

Cool feature, but please allow 'self uploads' or at least, improve the selection of audio clips!

Will they add in the future to be able to upload your own music instead of having to use those 3rd party apps.

[@StreamYard]

We’re always working to improve the features we add. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@siddiquecoolengineering1077]

Good

[@Bermudaoficial]

That sucks no able to play our own music one question is this music royalty free ? I don’t want a copy right

[@StreamYard]

Remember, this is v1 of background music. We're working on adding more features. Keep in mind, royalty free is a lot easier to manage, whereas uploading music you've purchased a license for requires you to whitelist it and go through content checks with the platforms. In short, there is a lot more to it. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@imtiaz183]

❤👍

[@49erMinded]

You can upload your own music to a third party site and just play the music through the Google Chrome. Then all you have to do is share the tab as well as click share audio.

[@StreamYard]

That is another option. Just make sure you own the copyright to whatever audio you're sharing. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@GuitarHeroTester]

Does anybody else have a problem with the background music while going live? Every time I play a track, my mic signal starts cutting on and off (like stuttering). I have the hyperx quadcast microphone and this is the first time I’ve found a bug with the SY platform. I love the new add! But I can’t use it though lol

[@StreamYard]

Have you checked if you have any ducking or effects enabled on your microphone? What happens when you use your built-in mic as well? If you can, please reach out to our Support Team, so they can assist you further with this. streamyard.com/contact Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

Hey is this music good (royalty free) to use on KZbin?

[@StreamYard]

Great question. Yes. Hence why you can't upload your own at the moment. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

@@StreamYard Great....I already have one picked out I'll be using tomorrow on my next live.....Thanks for the reply.....

How i wish there’s an upload music which can be added.

[@StreamYard]

Thanks for the feedback. Remember, this is v1 and we’re always looking to improve the product. In addition to being able to upload your own audio track, are there any other improvements you would like to see added to the background music feature? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@ohpeopleofthebook6679]

Hi what if I want to add my own background. As a theme when I start

[@StreamYard]

I think you're asking about adding your own background music? That's now available. Just look under the Brands tab. You can use the built-in music or add music you've purchased a license for. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@holdingyourspace]

does this music have a copyright? Will it toss out my KZbin video?

[@StreamYard]

Our background music is owned by us. If you get flagged for copyright for whatever reason, you can file an appeal directly with YT. As a reference, here is a (YT video on how to file a Content ID dispute: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGeYg6OQbZ2Vi80) - Katie 🦆

[@Habesha10]

When I go live, sometimes I play music for hours without talking about what's wrong with the copy right.😳😳😳wait for your reply.

[@StreamYard]

What are you asking? You play music for hours. Is it music you own the rights to? Did your music get flagged?

[@Habesha10]

@@StreamYard I mean, I use Streamyard background music and I play it LIVE when I log in and it says youtube copyright
