Use this interactive demo to learn how to add background music to your StreamYard live stream.

Quick summary

StreamYard lets you play background music during live streams by accessing Media Assets in the studio and selecting a track from the Background Music section. Adjusting the volume and hitting the Play button activates the music instantly for your broadcast session.


Steps

  1. Inside StreamYard Studio, head over to the right-hand pane and click Media Assets.
  2. Scroll down to the Background Music section, then drag the Volume slider to your desired level.
  3. Hover your cursor over the background music track you wish to use and tap its corresponding Play button.
  4. The selected background music will now play throughout your active StreamYard session.

📌 Why this matters

Adding background music to a live stream helps creators build atmosphere, improve viewer retention, and deliver a more polished broadcast experience. StreamYard's built-in Background Music feature inside Media Assets makes it easy to set volume levels and trigger tracks without leaving the studio interface. This removes the need for third-party audio software, keeping the streaming workflow simple and efficient. For podcasters, interviewers, and live event hosts, seamless background audio control is a key differentiator in production quality.
