Livestreams full of silences can become boring to sit through, and even awkward at times. However, you have to be careful with what type of music you use in your streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Legally Play Background Music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-have-background-music-on-twitch-legally\/\">have background music legally on Twitch<\/a>, you must have the appropriate permissions and licences, i.e. a <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/what-is-a-sync-license\/\">sync license<\/a>. This means, unfortunately, you can&#8217;t just stick on a Spotify playlist of all your favourite high profile artists &#8211; unless you&#8217;ve shelled out thousands for the licenses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be thinking that having music in your streams, even if not high profile, is starting to sound expensive.
