In September 2020, Facebook Gaming gave Facebook Gaming Partner creators the ability to use licensed music as background music during their livestreams.

Now, the social network expanded this capability to Level Up creators on the platform.

In a Facebook Gaming blog post, Luis Renato Olivalves, director of global gaming creator partnerships said Facebook partnered with “hundreds” of music companies including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Kobalt Music Group, BMG, and Merlin to allow creators to play licensed tracks while streaming video games.

Olivalves wrote, “A few restricted tracks aren’t licensed for use on Facebook Gaming, but they’re rare, and we’re always working to expand the amount of music that’s available to use.”
