Add an audio track to your video

You can no longer change the audio track of your video from within the YouTube mobile app. Use a computer to swap your audio track from YouTube Studio.

The YouTube Studio video editor lets you add music to your video from a library of licensed songs. These songs are from YouTube's Audio Library. You can use songs from the Audio Library in monetised videos.

Learn how to upload multi-language audio tracks to your videos.

Note:
  • If your video has over 100,000 views, you may not be able to save changes to your videos. This restriction doesn't apply to users in the YouTube Partner Programme.
  • This feature is only available for videos shorter than six hours.
