Frequently asked questions

Any YouTube creator, at any channel size. There is no subscriber limit. Link your channel and you are ready to go.

It is YouTube's automatic system noticing that a video contains music someone else owns. It is not a copyright strike. Nothing happens to your channel, the video stays up and public, and viewers see no difference at all. The only effect is that the advertising on that video is shared. You are a rights holder in your own video and you keep a share of it; our share is what pays for giving you the music free. YouTube decides how that split falls, not us.

Yes, and your channel is never at risk. Run ads as normal. The Content ID claim means the advertising on videos using our music is shared with us rather than all of it going to you, which is the trade that keeps the music free. If you would rather keep all of it, license the track through Songfindr.

No. Creator Mode is for personal use in videos on your own channel. It does not cover resale, client work, or use on other people's channels. For commercial licensing, use Songfindr.

Publish a public video that credits Fatstep using one of your tracks. Once we detect its link, a new production slot opens for your next track. And the more you publish, the more slots you get: 30 slots from 5 videos, 50 from 20, unlimited from 50.

Yes, as many as you like. Just include that track's link in each video. Reusing a song you have already published does not use a production slot.

Your next video starts here.

Link your channel and unlock your first 20 tracks in seconds.
