When speaking of removing audio from YouTube videos, most users would first turn to the YouTube built-in video editor. However, YouTube has changed its Creator Studio dashboard, including its basic video editing features. You would find it still an unsolved problem on how to remove audio from YouTube videos after going through various tutorials. Then, you may wonder, Can I remove audio from videos on YouTube directly? How to remove sound from YouTube videos effectively? The answers are below.

Despite that YouTube comes with a basic video editor, it never includes the option of audio track removal. But on YouTube Creator Studio Classic, there was a useful hack that could achieve your purpose as follows:
• Replace the original track with a new one in the YouTube audio library, enable the Only Music option, click Position audio and drag the time slider on the new audio track to the one second left. Then, you successfully muted the audio forever.

This hack once worked really well, but unfortunately, YouTube completely removed Creator Studio Classic in April 2020. Here is the official explanation:
