Rights Manager helps you protect your copyrighted content on Facebook and Instagram on a large scale by detecting audio and video content that matches yours. It uses the reference files you upload to identify potential matches and apply the rules and conditions you have set. Collect your royalties with Facebook.
Collect your royalties with Facebook Rights Manager
Rights Manager works by detecting matching audio and video content based on the rules and conditions you set. You upload reference files and indicate whether you own the rights to the video, audio, or both, video and audio. Rights Manager searches for matches and applies the rules and conditions you set.
Rights Manager is not the only way to monitor and protect content on Facebook. Rights Manager allows rights owners to manage content from a single place on a large scale, but you can also manage intellectual property without Rights Manager.
Only Facebook pages are eligible, and you must be an administrator or editor of the page to use Rights Manager. You can access Rights Manager from Creator Studio.
Page administrators and editors can use Rights Manager to:
- Establish ownership of content by uploading reference files.
- Create matching rules and decide what automatic actions happen when people upload matching content.
- Authorize certain people or Pages or Instagram accounts to have permission to publish videos that match your content.
- Review matching videos that may include content from your ownership.
- It is important not to claim rights to content that is not yours. You should exclude segments of content in your reference files that you do not have exclusive rights to use.
You can upload reference files even if the video is not publicly posted on Facebook. Your videos can be uploaded to your reference library without being published on your page.
Rights Manager is not retroactive. It may not detect videos that were posted before reference files were uploaded. You should regularly update reference files as you produce and distribute new content.
