Instagram recently introduced a new feature that allows users to share 30-second music previews directly in private chats. This feature, available globally for iOS and Android devices, aims to strengthen the platform's role in music discovery and sharing.
How music sharing in private chats works
To use this feature, users can:
- Open a conversation in direct messages.
- Tap the sticker icon in the lower right corner.
- Select the new “Musica” sticker.
- Choose a song from Instagram's music library.
Once the song is selected, a 30-second preview will be sent to the chat, which recipients can play or pause at their leisure.
Collaborations and promotion of the feature
To promote this new feature, Instagram has collaborated with artists such as JENNIE and Doechii, who have demonstrated the tool through their broadcast channels, highlighting how it can enhance interaction between artists and fans on the platform.
Music Distribution Potential on Facebook Rights Manager
Facebook Rights Manager is a tool designed to help copyright holders protect and manage their content at scale on Facebook and Instagram.
By uploading their music to Rights Manager, artists can monitor unauthorized use of their songs and decide what actions to take, such as collecting a share of advertising revenue generated from in-stream ads placed on videos on Facebook and Instagram.
Make their music available for stories and posts on Instagram
Distributing your music on social platforms like Instagram gives artists the opportunity to reach a wider audience and drive discovery. When music is available for use in stories and posts, users can integrate it into their content, increasing visibility and engagement. Services like DISTRID offer artists the ability to distribute their music on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, making these features easier to access.
Facebook Rights Manager Average Earnings
Revenue generated through Facebook Rights Manager depends on various factors, including the number of views of content using protected music and the advertising agreements in place. Specific public data on average earnings does not exist, as they can vary significantly based on engagement and content reach.
