Just wanted to know because I wanted to start a YouTube channel. It won't be monitized though. I just wanted to use the in-game videos along with the song.

@The1stKingBleach It will be fine. Your videos will receive a copyright claim to let you know your videos are ineligible for monetization, even if you are not monetizing your videos. But this copyright claim won't affect your channel and is also not a copyright strike.

@The1stKingBleach Heads up about YouTube policy for users of that network.All YouTube content providers and users must monitize thier channels to not lose their own channels. You can read more at YouTube policy changes for Jan 2020. Also, you can't add music to your video unless you created the song and have proff of ownership of all music you create. Adding music content in videos that you don't own is not allowed on YouTube. Oh I should mention that there are websites where you can purchase music as background for your videos.It's knowen as Royality Free Music.This however requires an account and payment to use the music. Have a great day. 😁

@BLVD69 Thanks for the info. I didn't know these things. So YouTube is going to make me monetize, kinda funny, since their current policy is 1,000 subscribers to do so. So I guess their now changing that rule in favor of greed. I suppose as long as I can keep my channel, then fine.

If all YouTube channels must monetize their channels in order to not lose their channel, then there wouldn't be a whole lot of channels left (including mine) to watch. lmao XD YouTube channels that are not being monetized are just as important as the ones being monetized. There are WAYYYYYYYYYY more channels that are not monetized than channels that are monetized. People could upload videos for fun (like I do).

It's called fair use. There's a difference between adding a 3 second snippet of a song and adding a 1 minute duration of a song in a video. BLVD69 wrote: Adding music content in videos that you don't own is not allowed on YouTube. Like I said, adding just 3 seconds of a song is allowed as it's fair use. Nothing wrong with that.

I made the song from scratch and have EVERYTHING to prove it lol. Just wanted to know if I could add my song to the game play videos and post it on my channel

Can I use my personal song that I made for a YouTube video?

I watched the video. Nothing was mentioned about fair use of any songs, movies, TV shows, etc.

It was about protecting children with kid-friendly videos.

But I did learn about YouTube may be deleting YouTube channels that are not "commercially viable", which blows my mind.

Then again, YouTube has been digging its own grave for years now. But they're not going anywhere anytime soon when there's too many people going on YouTube still. lol

This only applies to videos being made for children. All my videos are set to, not made for kids, on my channel.
