  • Any music can be used in videos according to the terms specified.
  • Music may be used for non-monetized videos only.
  • Only sound effects may be used, but not songs.
  • Songs can be used if you pay the owner royalties.

Explanation

Music in the YouTube Audio Library may be used in videos according to the license terms shown for the track. Some tracks require attribution, while others do not. YouTube identifies Audio Library music and sound effects as copyright-safe for use in YouTube videos. Monetization may be allowed when the video and track use comply with the stated terms.

Why the other options are incorrect

Non-monetized videos is incorrect because eligible videos can be monetized when Audio Library terms are followed.

Sound effects only is incorrect because the YouTube Audio Library includes both music and sound effects.

Royalties is incorrect because Audio Library usage is governed by YouTube’s listed license terms, not separate royalty payments.
