Manish Chopra, Director, and Head of Partnerships, Facebook India, said, “Over the past year, we have been working with partners in the Indian music industry to build the foundation of a music video experience for our consumers, and are thrilled to launch official music videos on the platform. We will continue to find opportunities to add more unique social sharing experiences and bring music into the ways people share and connect on Facebook.”

Official music videos on Facebook will create new social experiences that go beyond just watching the video. On Facebook, users will be able to discover new artists and tracks through social sharing, clicking through to a song (from a Music Sticker/ Music Video) shared to a friend’s story or a post in News Feed. Without leaving Facebook, you can connect with and learn more about an artist and their creative ambitions, watch the story behind their music on their Page, a label page and connect through real-time interactions on Facebook Live.

The music video experience on Facebook is available in India, Thailand, and the US, and users will be able to watch their favourites from the country’s top music labels – T-Series Music, Zee Music Company, and Yash Raj Films.
