Everything the Business licence allows, and everything it does not. This is the same text that appears in the licence document you receive when you buy.
Sold as a subscription rather than a one-time licence.
- Good for: Your organisation's marketing, social, web, corporate video & podcasts.
- Not for: Physical spaces, out-of-home, festivals, games or broadcast.
What it covers
- Everything included in the Digital license, for a licensee organization of up to 3 seats.
- Synchronization in marketing, social media, web, and corporate video content.
- Use at the organisation's own industry events and conferences (presentations, booths, keynotes).
- Digital-only paid advertising up to $10,000 of total media spend per campaign.
- Up to 5 linked channels.
- YouTube Content ID claims are released per video: link your channel, submit the video that uses the track, and the claim is cleared in about three days, so that video keeps its monetization. Unlisted videos qualify, so a claim can be cleared before you publish. Claim clearing is available while a subscription is active, and permanently for tracks bought with a one-time licence.
- Worldwide territory, in perpetuity.
What it does not cover
- No advertising campaign above $10,000 of total media spend.
- No content displayed in physical spaces, and no out-of-home advertising - that requires an Expanded license.
- No film festivals and no games - Expanded.
- No television, radio, OTT/CTV/VOD or theatrical use - All-Media.
- No sublicensing.
- No use of the music to train AI or machine-learning models.
If your use falls outside this, you are not stuck - move up a rung, or use Request Custom Quote for anything the self-serve licences do not reach.
