Facebook & Instagram Audio Eligibility Requirements

To send your music to Facebook and Instagram Music, your release must follow Meta's content rules, Meta audio requirements, and music eligibility rules.

Only original music that you own, or that you have the right to send, can be delivered.

Original Content

Your release should be music you made yourself, or music you have the legal right to share.

You must have permission for every part of the audio in your release, including:

• vocals

• instrumentals

• samples

• beats

• sound recordings

If your release uses content you do not own, Meta may reject it or remove it later.

Distinct Musical Content

Your music should be a full, original work.

These kinds of audio may not be allowed in the Facebook music library or the Instagram music library:

• loops with no new music

• stock sound packs

• basic sound effects

• soundalike tracks

• karaoke recordings

• public domain tracks with little new work

• DJ mixes or long mixed sets

• sleep or meditation tracks with very little music

• simple background noise

Eligible Music

Content that is often okay for music distribution to Facebook and music distribution to Instagram includes:

• original songs

• instrumental music

• live recordings

• remixes, if you own all needed rights

• cover recordings, if they are licensed

• independent artist releases

These are only examples. Meta reviews each release under its own music guidelines.

Content That May Not Be Accepted

Facebook and Instagram Music are for music, not for other kinds of audio.

Content that may not fit Instagram audio eligibility or Facebook audio eligibility includes:

• spoken word

• podcasts

• audiobooks

• comedy tracks

• speeches

• religious sermons or prayers

• nature sounds

• field recordings

• ASMR

• explicit audio that breaks platform rules

Why Releases May Be Rejected

Your release may be rejected or removed if it:

• uses copyrighted content without permission

• is not real musical content

• uses the same simple audio again and again

• breaks Meta music guidelines

• has wrong music metadata or artwork

Good music metadata helps Meta read your release the right way.

Best Practices

Before you submit your release:

• make sure you own or control all rights

• upload original, high-quality audio

• use clear music metadata

• do not use unlicensed samples or copied recordings

• check your release before you send it

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send instrumental music to Facebook and Instagram?

Yes, if the track is original and follows the rules for Facebook audio eligibility and Instagram audio eligibility.

Are DJ mixes accepted?

Usually no. Continuous DJ mixes and similar sets are not allowed for Facebook Reels music or Instagram Reels music.

Can I send podcasts or spoken word tracks?

No. Facebook and Instagram Music are for songs and other musical works, not podcasts, audiobooks, or spoken word.

How do I get music on Facebook and Instagram Reels?

Submit original music, use clear music metadata, and make sure you have the rights to every part of the release. That is the safe way to get music on Facebook Stories music, Instagram Stories music, and Reels.

Does PlayGeet decide if my music will appear?

PlayGeet checks releases before delivery, but Meta makes the final choice. The result depends on Meta audio requirements and content policy.

Can my music be removed after delivery?

Yes. If a release later breaks copyright ownership rules or platform policy, Facebook or Instagram may remove it.
