Elgato Stream Deck — Music/Sound Effects Whitelist

Note: The Music and SoundFX library on Elgato Marketplace was removed on November 15, 2025. This FAQ covers what that means for your existing content, what you can still use, and where to go if you want to keep using these tracks in the future.

 

Stream Deck 5.0 introduced thousands of Music and Sound Effect tracks to Stream Deck that can be used royalty-free. These sounds were provided through an integration with our partners. 

 

Our partners would automatically add your YouTube channel to their internal whitelist, meaning if you used Stream Deck's Music and Sound Effects, the audio will not be accidentally claimed. This requires Stream Deck 5.1 or newer. 

 

To ensure your account is added to the whitelist it needed to be added to Stream Deck.
