How to find a song from a video
Choose your clip
Select a video file from your phone or computer, or choose an audio recording of the soundtrack. Keep the file available while you search.
Choose the music section
Preview the audio and select a short passage with a clear melody. Skip spoken introductions, loud effects and silent sections.
Identify and check
Use the video music finder to search your selected recording, then compare the returned title and artist with what you heard. A match depends on the recording being recognizable.
Where did you hear the background music?
Vlogs and travel videos
A background music identifier works best during a break in the voice-over, when the soundtrack is easier to hear. If several songs play in one video, search one section at a time.
Saved videos and screen recordings
A saved video or screen recording from your camera roll can preserve music from an Instagram Story, an ad or a clip you cannot find again. Preview the soundtrack first to check that the music was actually recorded.
A song name, not just another similar track
Use this background music identifier to search the recording in your video. When a match is available, use the title, artist and available listening links to check the release. Covers, sped-up edits and heavily mixed audio can return a different version or no match.
Give the recognizer a cleaner excerpt
- Choose music with as little speech as possible.
- Search separate passages when the video changes songs.
- Try the original-speed section if an edit distorts the track.
Questions about finding songs from videos
Can I identify background music without knowing any lyrics?
Yes. This background music identifier uses the sound itself, so an instrumental passage can be useful. Clear music matters more than knowing the words.
How can I find a song from a video on my phone?
Open the video music finder on your phone and select a saved video using the file picker. The browser must be able to decode its audio track. If the file cannot be read, try an audio export of the same section.
Why did the search return no match?
Speech, effects, very short excerpts and unusual remixes can obscure a recording. Try a different clear section; some tracks may not be represented in the recognition catalog.
Is finding a song the same as getting permission to use it?
No. Identifying a title or artist does not grant music rights. Check the relevant license before using the track in your own published work.
Does recognition use credits?
Song recognition follows the existing Hum to Search account and credit rules. Check the pricing page for the current offer before searching.
