Setting the tone and atmosphere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background music serves as a powerful tool to set the tone and create a specific atmosphere for your live stream. Whether you want to evoke excitement, relaxation, suspense, or any other emotion, the right music can instantly transport your viewers into the desired mood, enhancing the overall impact of your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Enhancing viewer engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background music adds another layer of engagement to your live stream. It captivates viewers&#8217; attention, making them more likely to stay engaged throughout the stream. The music acts as an audio backdrop, creating a more immersive experience and making your content more memorable and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Creating a professional and polished image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating background music demonstrates a level of professionalism and attention to detail. It shows that you have put effort into creating a well-rounded production. This can help build credibility, attract a larger audience, and differentiate your live stream from others, leading to increased viewer loyalty and engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Filling audio gaps and dead air<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In live streams, there may be moments of silence or lulls in the conversation. Background music fills these gaps, ensuring that there is no dead air. It keeps the energy flowing and maintains a consistent rhythm throughout the stream, preventing any awkward silences and keeping viewers engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Supporting content transitions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background music can be used to enhance transitions between different segments or topics within your live stream. By incorporating music during these transitions, you create a smooth flow between content elements, making the overall experience more seamless and professional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Evoking emotional connection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music has a unique ability to evoke emotions and create a sense of connection. When the right music is paired with your content, it can enhance the emotional impact of your message, making it resonate more deeply with your audience. This emotional connection can strengthen viewer engagement and make your live stream more memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_kind_of_music_can_you_use_for_live_streams\"><\/span>What kind of music can you use for live streams?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent your live stream from being flagged for copyright infringement, it&#8217;s important to use music that is either royalty-free, properly licensed, or falls under the category of &#8220;public domain&#8221; or &#8220;creative commons&#8221; with appropriate permissions. Here are some types of music that you can consider using for live streaming to avoid copyright issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Royalty-free music<\/li><li>Creative Commons Music<\/li><li>Public domain music<\/li><li>Original music<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Royalty-Free Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is music that comes with a license allowing you to use it in your live streams without having to pay royalties or face copyright claims. Platforms like Epidemic Sound, Artlist, Soundstripe, and YouTube Audio Library offer extensive libraries of royalty-free music that you can use in your live streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Creative Commons Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creative Commons (CC) licensed music is music that allows for certain uses without requiring permission from the copyright owner. There are different types of Creative Commons licenses, so it&#8217;s important to understand the specific terms and requirements associated with each license. Websites like Jamendo, Free Music Archive, and ccMixter offer collections of Creative Commons music that you can use in your live streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Public Domain Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public domain music refers to music where the copyright has expired or is not applicable. These are often older compositions or traditional\/folk tunes. Websites like Musopen and Public Domain 4U offer public domain music that you can use freely in your live streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Original Music<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating your own original music composition is another way to ensure that you have full rights to use the music in your live streams. If you have the skills or resources to compose your own music, it can be a great way to add a unique touch to your streams while avoiding copyright issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_get_royalty-free_music_for_your_streams\"><\/span>Where to get royalty-free music for your streams?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When searching for royalty-free music to use in your streams, there are several platforms where you can find a wide variety of options.

At the beginning of your stream&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your live stream on a captivating note by playing background music at the beginning of your stream. It helps set the tone, build anticipation, and create a welcoming atmosphere for your viewers as they join the stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Acting as a &#8220;music bed&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By playing background music while speaking or explaining something during the live stream, you can set a particular mood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Introducing guests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have guests joining your stream, incorporating background music can serve as a way to introduce them. A playful approach could involve playing a specific &#8220;theme song&#8221; for recurring guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Q&amp;A or Audience Interaction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background music can be played softly during Q&amp;A sessions or audience interactions to maintain a pleasant audio backdrop. It helps create a comfortable and engaging environment while you address questions or interact with viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. During breaks or Intermissions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you have planned breaks or intermissions during your live stream, playing background music can keep the audience entertained and engaged during these periods. It prevents moments of silence and maintains a lively atmosphere even when you&#8217;re not actively speaking or presenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Outro or Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you near the end of your live stream, playing background music during the outro or conclusion can provide a sense of closure and leave a lasting impression on your viewers. It helps wrap up the stream on a positive note and creates a sense of finality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. To cover up unwanted noises&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use a background score to cover up technical sounds like a mic\u2019s hiss and buzz or the sound of a fan or an air conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_on_adding_background_music\"><\/span>FAQs on adding background music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Am I allowed to play any music I want on my stream?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Your live stream is public, so you can only play music that you own, have the license to, or that is in the public domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u200b\u200bCan I fade out background music when turning off a track?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The option to fade in and out the background music isn\u2019t available right now. However, you can always adjust the volume slider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can I adjust the volume of background music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The volume adjustment for the background music is not available as a separate control. Instead, modifying the &#8220;Program&#8221; or &#8220;Monitor&#8221; volume affects both the video sources and the background music simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is the background music feature available to all YoloLiv products?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, the background music option is available only on YoloBox Pro, YoloBox Mini, and the upcoming YoloBox Ultra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_takeaway\"><\/span>The takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding background music to your live streams can elevate your content, creating a more immersive and engaging experience for your viewers.
