Monstercat and it's artists are gamers! We have invested thousands of hours of our lives destroying zombies, building elaborate worlds, raiding end-game bosses, levelling up etc. It is a very large part of our lives!
In saying this, understand that we love the video content (machinimas, walk-throughs, montages etc) that many of you create! We are often asked what our policy is for using our music in YouTube videos – here it is!
Monstercat Music Licensing – YouTube Gaming Policy:
MONSTERCAT WILL NEVER STRIKE/TAKEDOWN A VIDEO USING OUR PUBLICLY AVAILABLE MUSIC
Monstercat music can be used in all video gaming content. We ask that all music used in a video be credited back to the original artist by linking to the song.
A content-id match will automatically be applied to videos using our music. This guarantees that the original musician fairly receives a % of the audio portion of the advertising earnings. This does not affect the video or channel in any way. We have strong relationships with every major gaming network. (ie Machinima, Curse, TGS, Fullscreen, TGN) The audio match will look like this:

The visual portion and a part of the audio portion are still available to be monetized in all YouTube video gaming content. You can continue to claim your videos as you normally would.
Finally, we do offer FREE commercial licenses to select content creators. This includes a 100% monetizable commercial license, our complete catalogue of music and a slew of free merch! Apply by clicking here:
For those curious, these policies do not ONLY apply to gaming but to all YouTube video content. We want to wish you all the best and can't wait to see the videos that you create! Please feel free to share this information with your fans as our music is now available for everyone!
Best wishes,
Mike Darlington
