Is there a way to sense-check/confirm that a song won't get taken down by Twitch because of DMCA?

I love listening to music when gaming and I like streaming on Twitch. I have noticed SOME songs get muted in the VOD the next day. - Meaning the muted songs were in the Twitch DMCA database and auto-flagged for being copyrighted music.

Is there a way to check beforehand where the song will get muted in Twitch or not? - surprisingly, not all songs (including mainstream) get muted, it is only some. This includes songs that aren't on the Royalty-free playlist.

FYI, yes I know I should avoid all copyrighted music, but if Twitch doesn't take it down, I should be allowed to do it. - I have seen/heard some big streamers (Xqc etc) stream with some popular songs recently in the background that you would think would be DMCA breaches.

The absence of a takedown notice does not make copyright infringement okay :/

Don’t use copyrighted music and you’re golden. No one wants to watch videos with awful music playing in the background anyway.

No, that's why most streamers delete vods and clips now.

You need to start listening to DMCA free music or from places like epidemic sounds instead of the mainstream stuff.

Some streamers get around it with a 2 pc setup and pipe the music in so it won't appear on their vods but that doesn't help with live DMCA takedowns that can happen.
