Looking for free music and sounds to add to your videos? YouTube's audio library has you covered.

Access YouTube's audio library easily by going to YouTube Studio and selecting the Audio Library tab. Filter and search for specific music or sound effects.
Use YouTube's video editor to add music to your already uploaded videos. Simply go to YouTube Studio, select the video, click on Editor, and choose the Music tab.
Make sure to check the license type of the audio files in the library to determine if attribution is required. Avoid selling or modifying the audio to avoid copyright strikes and demonetization.
