Why most lullaby streams go quiet in the middle of the night

Your PC has to stay on

Parents put your stream on at bedtime and leave it running until morning. A home stream dies with every Windows update, power cut or Wi-Fi drop — and a lullaby that stops at 2 a.m. can wake the baby. SubSub plays your playlist from our servers, so the music does not cut out at night.

OBS and VPS babysitting

Renting a VPS, running OBS without a GPU, restarting a frozen encoder before morning — that is a second job. Here you upload files and press start.

Copyright, kids rules and monetization guesswork

Brahms' Lullaby and Twinkle Twinkle are in the public domain, but most recordings of them are registered in Content ID. A stream aimed at babies also counts as made for kids on YouTube, which turns off live chat and personalized ads. Below we explain what is safe to stream and how lullaby channels actually earn.

HOW IT WORKS

Live in three steps, no software to install

Upload your files

Drop your audio and video into the SubSub media library, put them in order and turn on loop. Files live in our cloud, not on your computer.

Connect YouTube

Create a stream in YouTube Studio and paste its stream key into SubSub. The stream stays on your channel; SubSub only sends the video.

Press start

SubSub streams from our servers around the clock. Close the laptop — the stream keeps playing.

SETUP GUIDE

How to set up a lullaby stream parents leave on all night

What long-running lullaby channels have in common — and how to get there with SubSub.

Hours of soft, familiar melodies

Upload at least 3–4 hours so the same tune does not come back every few minutes. Alternate music-box and soft piano arrangements of classic lullabies with gentle beds like rain, a heartbeat or quiet white noise, joined by long fades. SubSub loops the playlist automatically.

A dark, slow picture

The screen often stays on in the nursery, so keep the visual dark and calm: a moon over water, a softly glowing night light, slowly drifting stars. Avoid flashes, bright colors and fast motion. A 10–30 second seamless loop or a static image both work.

Quiet, even, no surprises

Even out loudness across tracks, avoid sudden drums, bells and high notes, and mix nature sounds well below the melody. Ask parents in the description to keep the volume low and the device away from the crib. Export audio at 192 kbps or higher; 1080p video is plenty.

Lullabies you have rights to

Traditional lullabies such as Brahms' Wiegenlied, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Rock-a-bye Baby are in the public domain, but someone else's recording of them is not. Record your own arrangements, commission a musician with a written license, or use a library whose terms cover YouTube live streaming and monetization.

What you can stream

YouTube checks every stream with Content ID, and many baby music catalogs and kids' labels are registered there. A claimed track can cut your stream.

Your own recordings of traditional and public-domain lullabies, and your own original songs
Music and sound libraries licensed for YouTube live and allowlisted for your channel
Not allowed: tracks ripped from other lullaby channels, cartoon and TV theme songs, Spotify or app playlists, compilations

MONETIZATION

How a lullaby stream earns

Once your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program:

Ads — made-for-kids streams show only non-personalized ads, so each view earns less, but parents keep the stream on for hours
No chat, Super Chat or memberships on made-for-kids streams, so plan income beyond YouTube
Your links — your lullaby albums on streaming services, 8-hour sleep videos, licensing your music to baby sleep apps

COST

A full month of 24/7 streaming for about $6

You pay only for streaming time: $0.0087 per hour in base quality (720p, 30 fps). A month nonstop is 720 hours and comes to about $6.26 — no monthly plan, no slot fees. New accounts get $0.50 in free credits, enough for about 57 hours on air, no credit card required.

FAQ

Is a 24/7 lullaby stream allowed on YouTube?

Yes. YouTube sets no maximum length for live streams, and lullaby streams stay live for months. The usual rules apply: a verified channel with no live streaming restrictions in the past 90 days, honest titles and thumbnails with no medical promises like "cures colic" or "guaranteed to put your baby to sleep", and only music you have rights to.

Do I have to mark a lullaby stream as made for kids?

If the stream is aimed at babies and young children — nursery rhymes, cartoon characters, songs for kids — YouTube expects you to mark it as made for kids, and regulators can fine channels that do not. That turns off live chat, Super Chat and personalized ads. Calm sleep music with a neutral visual, made for parents, can be general audience. Decide by YouTube's criteria; SubSub streams the same way in both cases.

Are traditional lullabies free of copyright?

The melodies are, the recordings usually are not. Brahms' Lullaby, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and most folk lullabies are in the public domain, but almost every recording of them belongs to a performer or a label, and many are registered in Content ID. A "no copyright" tag on a YouTube video is not a license. Record your own, or use a library whose license covers YouTube live streaming.

Can I monetize a 24/7 lullaby stream?

Yes, once your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program. A made-for-kids stream earns from non-personalized ads only; a general-audience stream can also use Super Chat and memberships. YouTube can limit monetization for repetitive or reused content, such as mass-produced, near-identical tracks. Build the stream on your own or properly licensed recordings and give it a look of its own.

How long should my lullaby playlist be?

At least 3–4 hours. Parents often leave the stream on for the whole night, and SubSub loops the playlist automatically, so the longer it is, the less a tune repeats before morning.

Do I need OBS, a VPS or a computer that stays on?

No. You upload files to SubSub once, and our servers send the stream to YouTube. Your computer can be off the whole time.

How much does a 24/7 stream cost?

You pay only for streaming time — $0.0087 per hour in base quality (720p, 30 fps). A full month nonstop is about $6.26. New accounts get $0.50 in free credits, about 57 hours on air, no credit card required.

Why can’t I go live right after setting up my channel?

YouTube can take up to 24 hours to enable live streaming the first time. Turn it on in YouTube Studio a day before you plan to launch.

Can I run several 24/7 streams at once?

Yes. Each stream runs on its own and is billed by its own streaming hours, so you can run different radios on different channels.

Does SubSub check my music for copyright?

No. SubSub does not scan your files. YouTube checks every live stream with Content ID on its side: if it finds a track you do not own, YouTube can mute or stop the stream and strike your channel. Use only music you own or license.

Will YouTube save my 24/7 stream as a video?

Streams up to 12 hours are archived on your channel. Longer streams may not be saved at all, and live streams that are not saved as a video do not count toward Partner Program watch hours. Keep your source files — they stay in your SubSub library.
