Copyright rules for music in Vlogs

Vlogging exists on several platforms which make the copyright rules more complex, especially for vloggers that decide to post on several platforms. Let's dive into the different scenarios:

  • YouTube remains most people's top option when it comes to vlogging. If you plan on publishing videos and vlogs on YouTube, make sure that you don't use music which you don't own the rights to.

  • Vimeo's copyright rules are similar to YouTube in that the platform will take action against people that use copyrighted materials in their videos.

  • Other platforms like Meta (Instagram, Facebook) allow you to you to use copyrighted music found in their library.

This also depends on the platform but generally there are three scenarios that can occur:

  • Your vlog gets taken down. Keep in mind that repeated takedowns might lead to you being banned from that platform.

  • Your vlog doesn't get taken down but is only available WITHOUT sound.

  • Your vlog doesn't get taken down but you can't monetize on it.
