Can I use copy righted music in the twitch / youtube stream if I do not earn money with it and it is only in the background?

No, that will be blocked anyway. Most likely then automatically from the YouTube system without them manually / humanly looking it up.

Youtube no - Twitch & Mixer Yes. Just do not itch during the stream.
On Youtube it can happen that your stream is blocked immediately or your channel or you get a copyright strike.

With Twitch, however, a few places are muted now and then in earlier transmissions. But in LIVE mode, it does not itch anyone.

If you do not care so much about the music. Is pretzel necessarily recommended. Copyright free music and big selection. Only drawback. The name of the artists will be posted in the chat

If you have no permission or license to the song, then you can't do that.

In addition, you should make smart, what applies here in Germany.

We have copyright here and nothing else.
