The new tool promises streamers a large library of music from all genres to stream “worry free”. According to the FAQ published by Twitch, streamers will have different playlists and audio channels to pick from. The chosen music will then play during the stream but will not be included in VoDs or clips.
Especially with the wave of DMCA-related bans and takedowns on Twitch during June in mind, the new tool is an important step for many smaller streamers. While the tool is still in beta, creators can already sign up for it following this link:
