    1. Recording music from live performances is acceptable. When you attend a concert and post Stories, Reels, or Instagram Live videos of the show, you should be fine. Using music in Stories is completely allowed.
    2. Excessive use of full-length recorded tracks may hinder your ability to livestream. If you continuously play tracks on Instagram Live, your broadcast may get interrupted.
    3. In general, video clips with music should be brief. Although there isn’t a specific definition of brief, try to create short-form content when unsure.
    4. When using copyrighted music on Instagram, always include a video component. Just playing songs without any visual content is not allowed.
    5. Music usage may be restricted in certain countries. While Instagram offers music in 90 countries, some regions may not have the necessary rights, making these guidelines irrelevant in those areas.
