Facebook Users Will Be Able to Add Licensed Music to Their Videos

The social network is also introducing a Lip Sync Live feature

Sing along with Facebook? The social network announced Tuesday that it is testing the ability for people to include music in the personal videos they create, and it introduced a new feature, Lip Sync Live.

Facebook now has licenses through millions of songs through deals with music publishers including January’s announcement of pacts with Universal Music Group, Sony/ATV, Global Music Rights, SESAC’s HFA/Rumblefish and Kobalt Music Publishing and a similar announcement in April regarding independent labels Merlin, The Beggars Group, [PIAS] and Ingrooves.
