How To Add Music in Meta Ads Manager

First, Why Music Matters in Meta Ads

Music isn’t just background noise, it’s an emotional driver that can make your Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ads more engaging, memorable, and effective. A well-chosen track can instantly set the tone of your ad, helping you capture attention and connect with your target audience on a deeper level.

Adding music to your ads in Meta Ads Manager is simpler than many business owners think. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do it seamlessly.

 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ad Creative

Before jumping into Ads Manager, ensure your video content is ready. If you already have music included in your video file, you can upload it directly. If not, you’ll have the option to add music later within Meta’s built-in tools or by editing your video before upload.

Step 2: Open Ads Manager and Choose Your Objective

Head into Meta Ads Manager and start creating a new campaign. Choose the objective that fits your goals—whether it’s brand awareness, traffic, conversions, or engagement. The type of ad objective you select will influence how your video is displayed.

Step 3: Upload Your Video

When setting up your ad creative, upload the video file you want to use. This is where you’ll decide if the video already contains audio or if you’d like to enhance it with music.

Step 4: Add Music Using Meta’s Creative Tools

Meta offers a Sound Collection—a free library of licensed music and sound effects you can use in your ads without worrying about copyright issues.

  1. Go to the Ad Creative section.
  2. Select your video.
  3. Choose Edit Video.
  4. Click Music, and browse through Meta’s Sound Collection.
  5. Preview tracks and select the one that matches your brand’s tone.
  6. Adjust the volume so the music complements (not overpowers) any voiceovers or dialogue.

Step 5: Review and Publish

Once you’ve chosen your music, review the final version of your ad. Double-check that the visuals and audio align with your brand message. Then, publish your campaign and let Meta’s algorithm get to work.

Tips for Choosing the Right Music

Match the mood: Upbeat tracks work well for product launches, while softer instrumentals may be better for heartfelt brand storytelling.
Keep your audience in mind: Choose music that resonates with your target demographic.
Stay on-brand: Ensure the music style fits your brand personality.
