Social media platform TikTok introduces a feature that enables users to save songs from their videos directly onto YouTube Music.
In a move that further solidifies its impact on the music streaming landscape, TikTok has integrated YouTube Music into its popular "Add to Music" app feature. This integration, first announced in 2023, now allows users to save discovered songs directly to YouTube Music from within the TikTok app.
The "Add to Music" feature, initially developed through a partnership between TikTok and various music streaming services, aims to simplify the process of discovering and subsequently saving music. Upon selecting YouTube Music for the first time, it becomes the default application for saving songs on TikTok.
Users can find YouTube Music as an option when tapping the "Add Song" button within TikTok. Once a song is saved, it is automatically added to a dedicated "TikTok Songs" playlist on YouTube Music.
This integration is part of TikTok's ongoing efforts to broaden the reach of its "Add to Music" feature. In addition to YouTube Music, the feature now includes options for Deezer and SoundCloud, following its initial integration with Spotify in 2023. The exact date when Spotify integration became available is not specified in the search results.
Initially, the feature was available for Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. However, its availability has since expanded to over 160 countries, making it accessible to a global audience.
The "Add to Music" feature had a significant impact from the start, with hundreds of millions of track saves translating into billions of streams on music streaming services. This integration with YouTube Music is expected to further boost these numbers, providing a seamless music discovery and saving experience for TikTok users worldwide.
It's important to note that users can modify the default music service selection through the settings menu, allowing them to choose their preferred music streaming platform for saving songs.
The feature was initially available in the United States and the United Kingdom, but its availability has since expanded globally. This expansion is a testament to the popularity and utility of the "Add to Music" feature, and it underscores TikTok's commitment to enhancing the user experience by integrating with popular music streaming services.
