YouTube Audio Library Attribution Generator
Build properly formatted credit lines for Creative Commons (CC) and YouTube Audio Library tracks
When you use free music from the YouTube Audio Library or Creative Commons (CC) licensed background tracks, certain licenses require you to credit the artist in your video description. This generator assembles that attribution text for you in the standard format, so you can paste it straight into your description box without guessing at the wording.

FAQ
- Do I always have to credit music from the YouTube Audio Library?
- Only some of it. Tracks marked with a "CC" (Creative Commons Attribution) icon in the license column require you to name the artist and link the source in your video description — skip it and you risk a copyright claim or limited monetization. Standard royalty-free YouTube Audio Library tracks without that icon don't require attribution, though crediting the artist is still a nice touch.
- Where in the description should the attribution text go to actually count?
- YouTube's copyright policy doesn't mandate an exact position, but burying it at the very bottom of a long description risks it being overlooked during a review. It's safer to place it near the top or in a clearly labeled "Music credit" section so it's easy to spot.
