Facebook has specific rules when it comes to using music in videos posted to their platform. When using music in videos posted to Facebook, please keep these guidelines in mind:

- There are no limits on music in Stories, or traditional musical performances (example: filming a live artist or band performing their own music).
- The more full-length recorded tracks in your video, the more likely the video may be limited (example: muted or blocked).
- Shorter clips of music are recommended.
- There should always be a visual component to your video; recorded audio should not be the primary purpose of the video.

You can read more about these rules in Facebook’s help center here.

If you are following these guidelines but have still received a Facebook copyright claim and have a license for the song through your Thematic account, please see our help article for dealing with Facebook copyright claims.
