Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to sign up to use the music?
Yes! By signing up for our Creator's Program, connecting your channel, and providing credit links for the songs you use - we can monitor your videos and automatically release any future claims on videos that use our music so you can monetize your work. Feel free to check out this guide for crediting the music used in your videos.
Which songs can I use?
You can use any of the songs found on your Creators Dashboard. If a track is not available on our Creators Dashboard, then you may not use it.
How do I get the music?

How do I credit the music on YouTube?
After you download the music file from our creators page, a credit which includes a song title, artist, and link will appear. Simply copy this in your Youtube video description before publishing the video and you're good to go! For full instructions, check out this page.
How do I credit the music on Twitch?
On Twitch, you must create a channel panel with one of our crediting images (there's an editable template at the bottom of this album. That image must be formatted to link to this URL: https://chillhop.ffm.to/creatorcred. And here's a step-by-step guide you can follow, as well!
If I use your music, can I monetize my videos or stream?
Yes, as long as you follow our crediting rules, you are allowed to monetize your videos and stream. Please keep in mind that this type of license does not cover music use in commercial videos (videos with the sole purpose of advertising or selling a product). For example, if you were creating an ad with our music as a soundtrack, you would need to secure a paid license.
I got a claim on YouTube, how do I get it removed?
If for some reason our YouTube system did not see a credit provided on a registered channel's video, or if the credit was accidentally missing when video was first published, you may receive a claim on your video - but this can be quickly released by doing the following two steps:
(1) Copy and paste the correct credit(s) into your video description, and then...
(2) 'Dispute' the claim on YouTube.
Our system will re-check your video to make sure the credit + link has been posted in the description and release the claim! :)
Can I use your Spotify or Apple Music playlists as a source of music?
No, using our Spotify or Apple Music playlists as a source of music for your Youtube/Twitch livestreams is not permitted as 1. this would violate Spotify/Apple Music TOC and 2. our Spotify and Apple Music playlists often feature songs which don't belong to our record label.
Is your music copyright/royalty-free, or public domain?
We hold all the rights to our music and our music is not royalty-free. We allow creators to use our music as long as our music receives the mandatory credit. If this does not happen, we take appropriate action to make sure our rights are enforced.
Can I sing or rap over your instrumental work?

Can I re-upload your music on my channel?
No, uploading our music directly on your channel is not permitted. If you happen to run a music-oriented channel, please send us a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Please do not use our music to create your own 24/7 music stream. If this happens, it will be taken down.
Can I use the track or album artwork, Chillhop logos?
No, the use of our artworks and logos is strictly prohibited.
I received a claim even though I'm using music from Creators Page and credited correctly, what do I do?
In case you receive a claim although you have followed our crediting guidlines, please contact us and we will quickly resolve the issue.
I want to use the music on another platform outside of YouTube or Twitch, what do I do?
At the moment, the Creators program enables you to use music on YouTube or Twitch only. We are looking for solutions that would let the creators use our music on other platforms such as Instagram, Vimeo, etc.
By signing up, do I give you access to my Google or Twitch Account?
No, we're only asking for the minimum credentials required to read which videos you have uploaded on your YouTube channel so we can monitor if videos that use our music are meeting our crediting guidelines. For Twitch, we need your username to do the same thing, and your email in case we need to contact you.
Remind me again... how do I prevent claims from happening on my YouTube videos?
To avoid receiving monetization claims on YouTube videos when using our songs, all you need to do is the following two steps!
(1) Make sure you have created your Chillhop Creator user account and linked your channel.
(2) Go to our library and click 'download' on the songs you are using so that you can to copy and paste those credits/links into your video description before publishing the video. And that's it!
