Hey Chillhoppers!

Today we’re happy to announce an update to our Creators Program to better include Twitch streams. This update will make it easier to use our music library on your livestream, and will also help avoid copyright claims on your channel.

By joining our Creators Program, you can now connect your Twitch channel to your Chillhop account. By doing this, Chillhop will be able to whitelist your channel from claims, as long as our music is appropriately credited.

A new button has shown up in the Creators Dashboard that will allow you to add your Twitch Channel along with YouTube. 

Our Creators interface also has all of the stream-safe music in our library — you can set up playlists for streaming, and also export them to your Spotify account.

Our Creators program remains free, and only requires an account, and crediting our music on your channel to work.

How do I credit Chillhop? ?

In order to credit Chillhop for its music, we ask that you follow these steps:

Sign up for the Creators Program. If you don’t, we can’t whitelist your channel against claims for our music. Our music is not copyright free; by entering into the Creators Program and connecting your Twitch channel to your account, we offer you a license to use our music on your stream.

And we’re not afraid of fancy!

For crediting on Twitch, we require you to create a panel on your channel with an image which is linked to Chillhop. We’ve created an album with a number of different image styles and colors to use; we’ve also included a template at the bottom.

After you’ve added an image to your channel, turn it into a link, and link it to https://chillhop.ffm.to/creatorcred.

That’s it! You’re done!

If you need a more in-depth tutorial, we’ve published a step-by-step.

Which Chillhop music can I use? ?

At the moment, most of our library is stream-safe, but not all. Music from our earliest days contains samples that have not been cleared for this type of license, and may still result in claims to your channel.

All of the music on the Creators Program back-end is stream safe. On Spotify, we can ensure that all tracks on the “Chillhop Radio” playlist (or YouTube stream) are stream-safe.

Tracks on our other YouTube stream may not be stream-safe. If you’re going to use our music on your stream, we recommend using our Creators Program interface to be sure.

Other resources for Creators ?

We’re also happy to offer two other services to help streamers and Creators get the best out of our music.

The first is the #Creators channel in the Chillhop Discord ?. We’ve created it to serve as a place for people to ask questions about streaming, learn from others, and seek support in terms of using Chillhop music on their streams.

The second is a newsletter that we’ll be revamping with articles concerning streaming, creating content, and new music releases from Chillhop.



If you’d like to give us feedback about what you’d like to see from these programs, hit us up on this feedback form.

One last soft announcement

Chillhop is happy to announce that we’ve created a secondary channel for streaming content on Twitch. ChillhopLive will be the place where you can see more of Chillhop staff, creators and our community.

We’ll have bigger news around ChillhopLive in the future, but we thought we’d reward people who read this far ?. Feel free to give it a follow and become one of our earliest supporters!

Thanks a ton for reading! Best of luck creating.
