Guide to utilizing music selection on social media to increase your reach, get more views, and attract more followers
Info
Social Media Reels without person talking on camera:
By default, all of our social media reels are sent with music. However, we strongly recommend that you mute the music (within the app, like Instagram) and select a trending song.
- This can be any song on Instagram, pick something that you feel like matches the home and your brand
- Reels do not have to be edited to the music. This is a common misconception but in reality, Instagram and other apps will pick the best part of the song that best matches with the video.
- Instagram and other apps know what songs are trending and will promote your reel to a larger audience.
- We can not add the trending/popular audio in the initial editing because it will get flagged for copyright violation
Social Media Reels with person talking on camera:
If the reel contains a person talking on camera, by default, we will include background music. In these situations you cannot mute the music because it will also mute the person talking. We recommend posting the reel as-is but if you want to use native trending audio, reach out to our scheduling center team to request the music to be removed.
However, the issue with using trending audio in combination with a person talking is that you can not lower the music volume when the person is talking, resulting in difficulty in hearing the person talking.
