If you're receiving a copyright warning when trying to use your music on social media platforms like Instagram or TikTok, there are two common reasons why this might be happening:
1. Uploading Music Already Embedded in Your Video
If you're uploading a video with music already embedded, you're likely to receive a copyright warning, and the platform may prevent the video from being published.
This happens because social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram require you to add music directly from their in-app music libraries. Your video should be uploaded without any pre-added music. This ensures the platform can correctly track and license the use of the music.
You can find a step-by-step guide in this article on how to import music from the platform’s library:
2. Using a Business Account
If your Instagram or TikTok account is set up as a business account, you may not be allowed to use copyrighted music. Business accounts have more restrictions on music usage due to licensing limitations.
To use copyrighted music, you’ll need to switch to a personal or creator/artist account instead.
