Using Trending sounds is a great way to boost engagement with your videos. We've curated our own library of Trending Sounds that our team updates monthly - and you can find it right in your media library.

Note: While we advocate for more technical integrations with Meta and TikTok, they don't currently offer trending sound integrations, so your video may sometimes be labeled as "original sound." |
How to use a Trending sound for your video
Check out the interactive demo below for steps, or scroll down for our written guide.
1. In the Publisher or Media Library, upload your video, click the three-dot action button on it's thumbnail, and select Pick sound.
|
|
Note: Due to 3rd-party tool limitations, adding trending audio is only possible with videos for now. Make sure video processing is turned on if you want to add a sound to your video. |
2. The Trending sounds tab contains a curated list of sounds selected by our team (we update this weekly) that you can use for your video.
3. Once you select the sound you want to use, click on Apply sound.
Apply sound options
When applying the sound, you will have 3 options:
- Replace current sound - new sound will completely replace the current sound in the video.
- Add current sound
- Add sound to video's current sound - new sound will be added to the current sound in the video (which may or may not be the original sound, depending on wether or not you had already been applying custom sounds to the video).
- Add sound to video's original sound - new sound will be added to the original sound of the video.
When adding (or layering) the new sound to the video's current or original sound you can also control the volume of the new sound. This volume is express in percent of the current video volume. For example if you are adding the new sound as background sound selecting 50% will play the new sound at half of the current sound volume.
Reverting back to original sound
In some cases it may be required to revert the video back to its original sound. This may happen after you have applied a trending sound and now may need to revert that change.
That's easy to do. Simply click on Original video sound under the video itself, click on Apply Sound and choose a replace option.

Note: Our trending sounds library is curated from Instagram, featuring many popular tracks. If you choose to use them on other platforms, like TikTok or YouTube, just be aware that different copyright rules might apply. |
