2. **Browse the YouTube Audio Library:**
- YouTube provides a library of free, copyright-free music that you can use in your videos. This music can be used without any limitations, and you can monetize your videos.

3. **Preview and Select Music:**

#### Step 6: Save Your Changes

1. **Save the Edited Video:**
