How to Use Music Safely in Monetised Videos
1. Get the Right Licence
Always start with music from a verified, commercial‑safe source like RouteNote Licensing. Keep your subscription active and download directly from the platform.
2. Keep Proof of Licence
Save your licence or subscription confirmation – this is your evidence if a false claim appears. RouteNote provides full support for Content ID disputes.
3. Credit Creators (Optional)
While not required, crediting the artist in your video description can help with transparency and community goodwill.
4. Don’t Mix in Unlicensed Audio
Avoid using background clips, jingles, or SFX from other platforms unless you’re sure they’re cleared. One unlicensed sound can trigger a full‑video claim.
5. Check Before Re‑using
If you repurpose videos for TikTok, Reels, or paid ads, make sure your licence covers those platforms. RouteNote’s does – no extra paperwork needed.
