Facebook, Instagram users in India can now add music to 'Stories'

Users can share photos, videos and posts on 'Stories' that are visible only for 24 hours.

With the roll-out of music products in India, users can add latest tracks such as 'Bekhayali' (Kabir Singh) and Ve Maahi (Kesari) to older songs like Bas Ek Sanam Chaahiye (Aashiqui), to their Facebook and Instagram Stories.

Earlier this year, Facebook India had announced partnerships with music labels T-Series Music, Zee Music Company and Yash Raj Films, licensing their music for use in social experiences on Facebook and Instagram.

To use the music feature, users need to open the camera on Facebook or Instagram or select a photo or video from your gallery and add the Music sticker.

After choosing a song, you will be able to select which part of it you would like to highlight on your story, and add the artist's name and track title.

The Lip Sync Live on Facebook tool will allow users to perform and dub songs live on Facebook.

Meanwhile, Facebook has announced some new features to its video capabilities and now publishers will have more tools to use with its Watch Party and Creator Studio tools.

For Live Videos, Facebook will expand the features available to Facebook Pages to encourage live broadcasting by professionals on its social network. It will be easier to simulate and test broadcasts with Live API, which can be now restricted to that page's team, including administrators and editors, 9to5Mac reported on Monday.

For page administrators, the social media giant is adding two new metrics to the Creator Studio, which lets seeing how many watched at least 60 seconds of a Party video.

In terms of live video, Facebook says it listened to feedback from those who have been broadcasting live on its platform, and is now rolling out several highly requested features to Facebook Pages (not Profiles), according to TechCrunch.
