Instagram releases updated guidelines for using copyrighted music on the platform

Instagram has posted detailed guidelines for Instagram users regarding the use of copyrighted music on its platform.

The Facebook-owned photo-sharing platform has also launched a new feature where it will notify the users before they are using unlicensed music in a way that violates the platform’s rules.

This will prevent users’ content from Instagram’s automated interruptions including blocking or muting of a video.

The platform has posted its guidelines for using copyrighted music in live videos, Stories, and other posts.

“As part of our licensing agreements, there are limitations around the amount of recorded music that can be included in Live broadcasts or videos. While the specifics of our licensing agreements are confidential, today we’re sharing some general guidelines to help you plan your videos better,” Instagram said in an official blog post.
