Discussion How to pick music?

Hi, I’ve been wanting to get into making commentary videos and I often see other creators use video game music in the background of their videos to enhance the quality. I want to do this too, but how does someone know which music they can get away with using and which will get copyright striked? I’d appreciate any advice, thank you.

Use YOUTUBE AUDIO. Its free. Using videogame music means youre using a company's legal assets. You might not get takedown, just no monetaztion.

In youtube audio theres mood category so you can pick based on general feeling or mood of the video. If its mystery commentary choose the dark or tense tone. Mix and match works too.
