This music is typically held by a company and leased out to viewers for a small monthly fee, allowing them to use it for content creation and other purposes. In order to ensure that you stay within the law and the platforms’ terms of service, you should only play Royalty-Free Music on Twitch. Under Twitch’s new guidelines, you will be banned from the platform after three DMCA strikes. The DMCA bots are becoming more intelligent and soon they will be able to find music while it is currently being played. You must also take a slight risk that the owner of the music may change their mind in the future. It is still your responsibility to ensure that the music is truly royalty-free. There is a loophole, however, when it comes to royalty-free playlists (of which there are a few). Spotify music is only licensed for personal use and streaming it out to a community not only breaks the law, it breaks their terms and conditions. The broad answer to this question is no, you cannot use Spotify music on Twitch. Twitch had to start taking things seriously, and so do you. In 2020, this all changed when big-music started slapping down copyright strikes on channel after channel. The music industry, like the film industry, has seen its fair share of broken copyright laws, and for a long time, Twitch (and other platforms) turned a blind eye towards content creators breaking DMCA terms, searching for a gray area. In fact, the worst consequence was that VODs were muted. For years, streamers played whatever they wanted on stream without consequence. Many streamers have questions about Twitch music rules.
