Who da fuq are you?
Hello my friend. Let me introduce myself. My name is Oliver, and I am a German streamer and music producer on Twitch. Over the years, I really experienced what a hustle it can be to find good-quality background music for my stream. So at some point, I decided to say: fuck it, and just do it myself. Not for myself exclusively, but for all of you streamers out there!
Why do you give away free music?
I highly believe that music is an important part of a good and successful stream and video production. Especially on Twitch, the options for high-quality background music are extremely limited or hidden behind paywalls. In my honest opinion, it is just not fair to ask a small or new streamer for a minimum of 4.99 USD a month just to have the option to use good background music. Your stream grows with good quality, and music is a big part of the quality you want to give your viewers.
How can I support this project?
There is no need for any attribution or whatever. I do not do this for fame, money or anything like that! I run this project to spread some nice music and that is all. But if you want to put in some support, you are absolutely free to do so.
As a viewer, you can spread this website to streamers when you think that the music matches the stream. As a content creator, you can put a link to this website in your Twitch panels or video description if you like.
Because many of you asked if they can support the project financially, I started a Patreon. If you like, you can contribute to the project on Patreon.
Can I use Jelly Beatz on Twitch?
Sure! However, the Twitch world is never perfect, so it happens from time to time that you can get a VOD mute if the copyright protection system from Twitch mismatches a Jelly Beatz track with another song. This is not a big deal, though, and you can inform them in your Creator Dashboard that this is a mismatch and that you are allowed to use the track.
Please feel free to attach the License Agreement if you ever get a claim, because this helps you to release the claim.
Can I use Jelly Beatz on YouTube?
I totally allow it! However, the YouTube world is far away from being perfect, so it happens from time to time that you can get a claim if the copyright protection system from YouTube mismatches a Jelly Beatz track with another song. You can submit a request to release the claim in YouTube Studio. They will typically release it within 7–30 days, and you do not lose any of your income.
Please do not forget to attach the Jelly Beatz License Agreement to your request, as this is needed for YouTube to release a claim. Please note that the YouTube Content ID system is very often used by scammers and YouTube has no protection in any way for content creators, so we would not recommend using YouTube as a creator.
Can I use Jelly Beatz on other media like podcasts?
Feel free, buddy! The project is meant to be used as background music for any media. You can use it without any attribution. There are a few limitations, though; see the next question for the limitations.
What are the limitations?
You cannot use Jelly Beatz in games, TV shows or movies. You also cannot re-upload it to Spotify, Apple Music or similar services, and you are prohibited from registering it with any provider of user-generated content identification services, for example TuneCore, CD Baby or YouTube Content ID. Jelly Beatz is not meant to be used for music production and therefore may not be used as such.
You are not allowed to use it for political content, racist content, harmful content against humans, animals or companies, or any illegal content.
Where can I get that License Agreement?
Here you go, buddy 😉
