Yes, you can use music, footage, sound effects, and other content from Storyblocks in monetized YouTube videos, as long as it’s incorporated into a longer project (i.e. the video is not a straight upload of an unedited asset file, like a song or footage clip), follows the terms of your license, and your subscription is active at the time you upload the video.
By following the terms of your license, the monetized YouTube videos you create using Storyblocks stock assets should fall under the distribution use cases listed under your license.
If your YouTube channel is monetized, it’s important that you register your Channel ID with your Storyblocks account - this helps us protect your videos from any Content ID claims by allowlisting your channel.
