YouTube has announced that it will begin making Creator Music available to its users in the US, where creators can find music they can use in their videos . Creator Music is a catalog of music that creators can use in their videos without losing their monetization feature. Some songs in the catalog can be pre-licensed, allowing creators to continue making money without any interruptions. The income of other songs in Creator Music may be eligible to be shared with the rights holders of the track.
The launch of Creator Music is aimed at simplifying the popular music licensing process. On the platform, creators can search for songs on their minds or browse music by collections, genres or moods via a control panel, and then view the associated licensing costs. In addition, creators can search for tracks based on the budget they set for their projects.
On YouTube, when a creator uses a song they don’t own, they have to give all of their video’s advertising revenue to the music licensee. This means that commercial music is not usually used in YouTube videos. When this is the case, both content producers, artists and songwriters suffer from the situation.

It is currently unclear when Creator Music will be available in countries outside of the US. It is useful to follow YouTube to see when the platform will be active in which countries.
