Using music at a meeting is one of the easiest options to lift up the mood and to break the ice. With most business and staff meetings now taking place virtually (on Zoom, Meet, or Teams), many people ask:

Can I legally use music during online meetings and presentations?

The answer is yes, but there are licensing requirements you need to consider.

Generally, broadcasting music in any public or business space requires a public performance license. That’s because most of professional music creators are members of professional societies that collect royalties on their behalf.

While with most in-person business meeting, events, and presentations you can often count on the venue to have the performance license, it will be solely up to you to secure the license for the virtual meeting.

If you want to avoid purchasing the performance license for your Zoom meetings and presentations, a simple solution is to use music created by non-affiliated composers. That is, composers who are not members of any performance rights organization.

In this playlist, we put together a collection of background music with modern business feel that will work great to set the upbeat atmosphere at any meeting, virtual or not. All music is provided with commercial royalty free license and do not require getting the performance license for public broadcast (since the composers are not affiliated with any performance rights societies).
