How does music for Facebook work?

Let’s first quickly go over how music in Facebook videos works. From Facebook’s guidelines, they certainly want to encourage musical expression for content creators, yet they also want to make sure all videos uphold their agreements with music rights holders.

There are also several different types of video formats that you can broadcast and share on Facebook these days, including Stories, Reels, Live broadcasts, and regularly uploaded videos.

If Facebook detects that any music used in your videos, even live video broadcasts, doesn’t adhere to their music licensing agreements, they will notify you and potentially mute or block your videos. You can learn more about how Facebook protects copyrights here.

What is royalty free music?

All that being said, the best way to ensure that your videos will be fully protected for sharing on Facebook, or any other social media platforms, is to use royalty free music secured from resources such as Soundstripe.

For those curious, royalty free music is any music that has been purchased either as a single song or as part of a subscription plan. These royalty free music licensing sites cover all of the licensing agreements with the artists themselves, both compensating them for their work, as well as providing you with protection to use the music in your videos anywhere online.

Our top playlists for Facebook creators

Now, let’s get to some more tunes. Here are some of our top curated playlists specifically for Facebook content creators. Or, if we’re being honest, these are great playlists for any type of content creator, so you don’t have to limit yourself to using these tracks just for Facebook.

These playlists range from modern and upbeat tracks to more serious and moody songs. You can explore more royalty free music playlists too if you’re looking for a specific genre or vibe for your YouTube videos. But those are some of our top picks.

Tips for using royalty free music in Facebook videos

If you’d like to navigate away from any copyright issues that could potentially see your videos being muted or blocked by Facebook (or worse yet, having your account banned) then you’d be best served to rely on royalty free music as your go-to soundtrack option for your videos.

With Soundstripe in particular you’ll be able to sleep safely knowing that your videos will be fully covered and protected. Also, feel good knowing that the talented musicians who wrote and recorded the music will have been adequately compensated for their awesome work.

This is because at Soundstripe we own every single song in our library, so you can rest assured that you won’t be able to find our music anywhere else. You can either pay for a single song license and use that song in as many projects as you’d like. Or you can sign up for one of our subscription plans, which gives you unlimited access to our entire library and is an awesome resource to have at your fingertips.
