This service will now be an integral part of letting creators <strong>earn money<\/strong> from using their favorite tracks in videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As with anything, there\u2019s a caveat, though; In order to use <a href=\"https:\/\/business.facebook.com\/creatorstudio\/fm_licensed_music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"licensed music\">licensed music<\/a> and still monetize their videos, creators must first be eligible for <strong>Facebook\u2019s in-stream ads<\/strong>, and meet various standards. These include Facebook\u2019s monetization standards, music guidelines, and community standards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be eligible for these services, videos must be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Have a runtime of 60 seconds or longer<\/li><li>Be posted to Facebook<\/li><li>Contain some kind of visual component (to deter creators from posting blank screens with licensed music)<\/li><li>Feature samples of music covered by the Music Revenue Sharing service<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facebook now has a dedicated Licensed Music Library where users can explore the musthat the new service covers. The social media platform has also assured users that it will continue collaborating with music rights holders in an effort to<strong> expand the current lis<\/strong>t of covered tracks. Its hope is that this new service will \u2018bring creators and the music industry closer together, leading to more authentic connections with fans.\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Meta introduces new revenue-sharing feature for licensed music\" class=\"wp-image-197660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Meta-introduces-new-revenue-sharing-feature-for-licensed-music-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should content creators\u2019 videos meet Facebook and Meta\u2019s numerous standards, they can expect a 20% share of the revenue generated by the use of licensed music tracks. This is a fairly low percentage and it stands to reason that many content creators may opt to instead stick to <strong>royalty-free music<\/strong> and retain the full 100% of revenue generated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Music Revenue Sharing service is already live globally, <strong>only videos delivered to US audiences<\/strong> are eligible for monetization at this stage. The company intends to expand the full scope of the service worldwide within the coming months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other Facebook news, the social media platform has vowed to give you more control over your feed. This is likely due to backlash over curated feed content and numerous accusations of Facebook retaining too much control over the content you see on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta, the parent company behind Facebook, recently unveiled a brand new way for content creators to monetize videos containing licensed music.
