Use background music safely

Check the license first

Use music licensed for commercial live use. Check the track's license, its attribution requirement, the territory it covers, and any expiry or term. Royalty-free does not mean free of conditions.

Music catalogs change their terms. Read the license on the track you are about to use, on the day you use it.

Test the full audio setup

• Test the exact phone, microphone, speaker and music source, in the room you will film in.
• Confirm viewers can hear the host clearly over the music. See Prepare your equipment and go live.
• Give one person the job of turning the music down or off during the show.
• Watch the comments and any platform warnings while you are live.

Know when to stop the music

Stop the music if viewers say they cannot hear the host, or if the platform warns you about the music. Then carry on talking. A live show with clear speech and no music beats a muted show.

See Prepare your equipment and go live for the rest of the run of show.

Limitations

• Sprii cannot confirm that a track is licensed for your use, and it cannot stop Meta muting or restricting a live show. Muting over music is not a Sprii streaming fault.
• There is no one safe volume. The balance depends on the room, the speaker, the microphone, the phone and the streaming path.
