In September last year, the company introduced “Creator Music”, to give YouTube creators easy access to an ever-growing catalogue of music for use in their long-form videos.
With this, those creators who don’t want to buy a license upfront, they’ll be able to use songs and share revenue with the track’s artist and associated rights holders.
“Creators can now buy affordable, high-quality music licenses that offer them full monetising potential — they will keep the same revenue share they’d usually make on videos without any music,” Amjad Hanif, Vice President of Creator Products, YouTube, said in a statement.
Last month, Google announced that it has restructured the YPP terms to include new modules such as ‘Shorts Monetisation Module’, which allows creators to start making ad revenue on Shorts starting February 1 on the video-sharing platform.
