How To Get Permission To Use A Song On Twitch. If you are a new twitch streamer and want to get better, signing up for monstercat will allow you to automatically get the twitch affiliate status. While in the clip xqc mentions tweeting at the killers in order to get permission, in reality he would need to get in contact with the band's licensing rights holder.
A streamer may only play songs that they own the rights to or have a license for playing the song on the twitch platform. The exception to this rule is twitch sings, which often uses some of the original recordings as twitch has leased the rights of the copyrighted music. If youtube finds a copyrighted song it will flag and suspend the video, unless the owner’s permission can be proved.
You need to contact whoever owns the rights to the videos and recordings to get permission.
What we mean by “permission” is that the copyright holders (usually both the songwriter and the record label or whoever owns the actual recording) have. Music publisher administers copyrighted music. Alternatively, you can attempt to locate the copyright owners yourself and request permission. Playing without permission infringes on the owner’s rights to the material.
