Adding music to your content

feat. @bunshah

Understand the difference between licensed and royalty free music and what to do if the music in your content is muted

Key takeaways

There are 2 types of audio: royalty-free audio and licensed audio. Licensed audio is copyrighted audio and can be found in the audio library through the audio icon when creating new reels, stories, or posts. Trending audio can also be found in the Professional Dashboard if you just want to browse and get inspired.
Watch our next video to find how you can use royalty free music for branded content or just enhance your organic content with sounds effects.
Sometimes, audio can get muted as a result of any changes made to our agreements with music rights holders. You may see a notification to replace your audio with another sound, and you can do this only once.
If your post has been muted, you’re not in trouble and you don’t need to delete it. Muted audio doesn’t have any impact on your account’s status or ability to monetize. While you could save reel to camera roll, delete it, then re-upload with a different sound, leaving it up will help you keep a record of all its insights, which may be important to you.
