Stream - Music Copyright Infringement

EA,


When I stream NHL21 on Twitch, my audio is blocked due to copyright infringement. The error on Twitch is "Audio for portions of this video has been muted as it appears to contain copyrighted content owned or controlled by a third party."

Does EA own the distribution rights to the music in the game? If yes, can EA work with Twitch to whitelist the music? If no, how do I disable the music in the game to not affect the audio in my stream?

Thanks.

    Hi there, @segaszivos

    Try turning down the music in the game settings. Go to Settings > Audio & Visual Settings > Volume Settings to make this change.

    @EA_Aljo Thanks. I have two follow up questions:
    1) Am I allowed to stream with the "NHL 21 THEME" music?
    2) Am I allowed to stream with the Arena music enabled?

    These are questions you'll need to ask Twitch. We aren't specifically stopping you from streaming the game with music enabled.
