Proton doesn’t recommend Facebook or Instagram Live for full DJ sets.
Meta
Meta has music guidelines that limit how much recorded music can be used in videos and live streams. The more full-length recorded tracks you play, the more likely your stream is to be limited. This can mean:
Your stream is interrupted or stopped
Parts of your audio are muted
Your video is removed after the stream
This happens because of how much recorded music is in the stream, so it can affect you even if you only play tracks from Proton labels. Short clips of music are usually fine, but a full DJ set is likely to be cut off.
Good to know: Meta’s recognition can take a while to identify tracks. If your stream gets cut while you’re playing a Proton track, it may have been caused by a track you played earlier.
Twitch
For DJ sets, we recommend Twitch’s DJ Program. It lets DJs stream sets with music from participating labels without the risk of takedowns, and part of the stream earnings goes back to the music’s rights holders.
If your releases are distributed by Proton, there’s nothing you need to do. Your catalog is automatically delivered for use in Twitch DJ Program streams, so DJs can play your tracks there.
To learn how the DJ Program works and how to join, read our guide: Twitch’s DJ Program: What it is and how to join (https://intercom.help/proton-radio/en/articles/13619260-twitch-s-dj-program-what-it-is-and-how-to-join)
Note: the DJ Program is run by Twitch, not Proton. DJs opt in directly with Twitch.
