Upload your meditation tracks and a slow looping scene once. SubSub streams them nonstop from our cloud in up to 4K — no OBS, no VPS, no PC left running.
When the free credit runs out, the stream simply stops. Nothing is charged unless you top up.

People meditate at dawn, between meetings, on the yoga mat and as they fall asleep. A home stream dies with every Windows update, power cut or Wi-Fi drop, and a sudden cut-out in the middle of a session pulls the listener straight out of it. SubSub plays your playlist from our servers, so the stillness never breaks.
Renting a VPS, running OBS without a GPU, restarting a frozen encoder at 3 a.m. — that is a second job. Here you upload files and press start.
Singing bowl, drone and meditation ambient tracks are heavily registered in Content ID, and "royalty-free" or "432 Hz" rarely means free for 24/7 live streams. Below we explain what you can safely put on air and how meditation music channels actually earn.
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.
Create a stream in YouTube Studio and paste its stream key into SubSub. The stream stays on your channel; SubSub only sends the video.
SubSub streams from our servers around the clock. Close the laptop — the stream keeps playing.
What long-running meditation and mindfulness music channels have in common — and how to get there with SubSub.
Upload at least 4–6 hours of music so a session never hits the same track twice. Keep it beatless and steady — singing bowls, soft drones, ambient pads, gentle flute or handpan — with no drums, vocals jumping in or sudden key changes. Long pieces of 20–60 minutes suit meditation best; crossfade them so there is never a gap, and let SubSub loop the playlist automatically.
Misty lakes, mountain mornings, candlelight, slow clouds — viewers choose a stream by its picture before they hear a note. A 10–30 second seamless loop works best, with barely any motion: fog drifting over water, a soft ripple, light slowly changing. Leave calm empty space and skip busy text on screen. Use art you made, generated or licensed.
Bring every track to the same low, gentle loudness so a bowl strike never startles someone with their eyes closed. Keep the low end warm but not boomy, soften harsh highs, and leave the natural decay of bowls and bells uncompressed. Export audio at 192 kbps or higher; 1080p video is plenty, 4K if your loop is sharp enough.
Record your own bowls, drones and ambient pieces, commission composers with a written license for 24/7 streaming, or use libraries whose terms explicitly cover YouTube live streaming and monetization. A "royalty-free", "no copyright" or "432 Hz" label alone does not cover a monetized nonstop stream.
Your $0.50 sign-up credit covers about 57 hours on air. Upload a couple of tracks, press start and watch your radio go live. No card, no software, nothing to install.
YouTube checks every stream with Content ID, and labels, music libraries and independent meditation and sound-healing artists register their tracks there. A claimed track can mute or cut your stream.
Once your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program:
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.
Criteria
Yes. YouTube has no limit on stream length, and meditation music radios stay live for months. The usual rules apply: a verified channel with no live streaming restrictions in the last 90 days, honest titles and thumbnails, and only music you have the rights to.
Only if its license explicitly covers YouTube live streaming and monetization. Many free and royalty-free meditation tracks are registered in Content ID or forbid 24/7 streams. Read the terms, allowlist your channel if the library offers it, or use music you recorded or commissioned yourself.
Yes, once your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program: ads, Super Chat and memberships all work on live streams. YouTube can limit monetization of repetitive or mass-produced content, so stream music you own or licensed and give your stream its own visual identity.
Keep descriptions to what the music is and how people use it — for meditation, relaxation or sleep. YouTube's medical misinformation policies apply to claims that sound or frequencies treat health conditions, and such claims can get a stream limited or removed.
At least 4–6 hours of different tracks. Meditation streams run through morning sessions and whole nights, and SubSub loops the playlist automatically, so the longer it is, the less often a listener hears the same piece again.
No. You upload files to SubSub once, and our servers send the stream to YouTube. Your computer can be off the whole time.
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.
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.
Yes. Each stream runs on its own and is billed by its own streaming hours, so you can run different radios on different channels.
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.
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.
Your free credit covers about 57 hours on air. No credit card, no OBS, no computer left running.
