Although YouTube Music has a really robust content (music and video) library, there’s still a tiny chance that you may not find a particular song or video you are looking for. If this is the case, you can simply upload the song(s) from your computer into your YouTube Music library.
This article covers how to upload music from your computer to your YouTube Music. Let’s get right in.
Before we get started, you should note that you can only upload content to YouTube Music from a computer (via a web browser) and not from the YouTube Music mobile app. However, uploaded content will be available to stream from all devices.
Upload Music to YouTube Music
- To get started, open YouTube Music on your web browser.
- Next, click the profile icon at the top-right corner of your screen.
- From the options displayed, select Upload music.
- Your computer file browser window will then be displayed. Navigate to the folder that contains the music you intend to upload.
- YouTube Music will request that you review its Use Policy. When you’re done and you agree to the legal document, click Accept to upload your song.
