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.
