Music for Facebook

Facebook Music Copyright Rules

Just like Instagram, Facebook has its own set of rules when it comes to using music on Facebook Reels, Stories, ads, and live streams. When you are posting long videos, Reels, and Stories on Facebook, you can use Facebook’s Sound Collection to add music to your content.

For ads and live streams, however, you can only use copyright-free or royalty-free music according to Facebook music copyright rules. Keep in mind that doing so otherwise will result in copyright infringements.

Can You Play Music on Facebook?

Yes, you can play music on Facebook during your live streams. But as always, there are specific guidelines you need to follow:

• Streaming an artist’s or a band’s live performance is allowed in live videos and Stories, but they should not be full-length.
• The longer your music clips, the higher your chances of getting muted or blocked. So it is best to use shorter music clips to avoid these limitations.
• Visuals matter. If there are no visual elements to complement your audio streaming, you might face the restrictions mentioned above.

You might be curious about how to promote your music on Facebook or if it is feasible at all. Facebook understands and encourages the importance of creative ownership. So, if you hold the rights to your music, you can feature your own tracks in your Facebook content.
