Copyright free music for gaming videos
Copyright free music for gaming videos belongs on the highlight, not under a four-hour commentary. Mute the game's own score first.
2026-09-27
Copyright free music for gaming videos works on the parts of the video that are pictures and impact, not on the parts that are constant talk. The license includes gaming uploads and monetized ones.
Where to place it
A clutch montage, a season recap, the ten seconds before a match, a Short of one play. The song can lead. Until Valhalla is the hard tone. Trim to the section you need. Trimming is allowed: can I trim.
A ranked grind with callouts for forty minutes should not have a chorus under it. Mute the track when you talk, or do not use it. See music under a voiceover.
Do not add the song to a clip that is mostly someone else’s broadcast, trailer, or soundtrack. Your gameplay and your edit are the licensed context. Their audio has its own owners.
Credit is optional, in the description, via the credit line. Livestreams of games follow Twitch or YouTube Live.
Copyright free music for gaming videos, on the highlight and off the callouts
Copyright free music for gaming videos belongs on the montage and the cold open. A clutch, a season recap, the ten seconds before a match, a Short of one play. Until Valhalla is the hard tone. Trim to that section. When you start calling out, the track goes away. A four-hour commentary with a chorus underneath is the mix this catalog cannot win.
The game’s own music and trailer audio are not cleared by this license. If your clip still has the game’s soundtrack, you have two owners in one timeline. Mute theirs if you have the right to the pictures, and use the Arctaholic track in the gaps. If you do not have the right to the pictures, do not post the clip at all. This page cannot grant another studio’s footage.
A video about a game is not the game. Putting the track in a YouTube highlight is covered. Putting it inside a game you are selling is not. Email arctaholic@gmail.com for a game, a film, or an ad. Do not ship the build and ask later.
If Content ID names the game, that claim is about the game. If it names the song, email the URL and the track name. YouTube explains how to read a claim. Deal with each claimant only for the audio that claimant owns.
Mute the game’s music on the capture if you can, before you edit. Then place the Arctaholic track only on the highlight and the open. Callouts stay dry. If the capture already baked the game’s score in, you have a second owner in the file and this license will not remove that owner. Either recapture or accept that a claim may name the game. When you check Studio, read the claimant. Email this catalog only when the matched audio is the song. A game claim goes to the path that claimant offers. Do not dispute a game claim by pasting the Arctaholic license. That URL does not cover their audio.
Questions
Can I use it in a game I am selling?
No. Games need a separate written permission. Email arctaholic@gmail.com. A YouTube video about a game is not the game itself.
Will the game’s Content ID claim the video?
It might claim the game’s own audio. That claim is not about this track. Deal with each claimant on that claimant’s audio.
