How can I put a song on my page from my phone?

- Select “Music”;

VKontakte will add the ability to play audio recordings to its VK Live streaming application
The social network VKontakte plans to add the function of playing audio recordings from the corresponding section directly during streams through its VK Live application, Izvestia reports. The author of the broadcast will be able to include any track from his audio recordings, which will subsequently be heard by the audience of the stream. For now, audio recordings are planned to be used only in test mode.
The main problem with the new VK Live feature is copyright infringement. The administration of the social network did not enter into agreements with copyright holders for such public use of their products, which is indirectly evidenced by the fact that the recording of the stream when using “audio recordings” will be automatically deleted. The absence of agreements between the social network and the labels is confirmed by the copyright holders themselves. General Director of the First Music Publishing House (PMI) Maria Oparina said that an agreement was concluded between PMI and the social network only for the use of music by individual users (listening through the “Audio Recordings” section). There was no agreement on the use of audio recordings during streams and she is not aware of the latest innovation.
Representatives of two other major labels declined to comment, but noted that they had heard about the new product.
VK Live functions include automatically saving a recording of a stream after it ends, so that those viewers who missed the live broadcast can watch the content later. If audio recordings are used, the video stream will be automatically deleted. This indirectly indicates that the administration of the social network is aware of the violation of the labels’ copyrights. Using the new function in test mode means that for now the company’s management will try to evaluate all the pros and cons and is not ready to enter into formal negotiations with copyright holders, who will undoubtedly require financial guarantees in the form of a fixed amount for the very possibility of using their intellectual property during public broadcasts , which are streams.
At the same time, the test mode will allow the VK administration to collect statistics on the popularity of certain performers during streams, from which it will be possible to operate during negotiations.
Let us remind you that in 2021 Mail.ru Group reached an agreement with the main major labels, which made it possible to legalize most of the music on social networks and Odnoklassniki. Mail.ru's partners include such labels as Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music, as well as domestic First Musical Publishing House, Soyuz and Nikitin.
However, this did not save the company from lawsuits from smaller domestic copyright holders, for example, Moroz Records (this label owns the rights to the Kino group’s compositions “Zvuki Mu” and “Cruise”). The stumbling block was the amount of licensing fees for playing each track: foreign labels receive much larger sums from Mail.ru Group.
If the social network decides to maintain the ability to play audio recordings during streams and comes to an agreement with labels, then VK Live will become one of the first streaming services to bring music “out of the shadows” at its own expense. On other platforms, compliance with copyright rests on the shoulders of the streamers themselves. Some of them follow the rules and use music that does not violate copyright and site rules (primarily for YouTube streams), for example, compositions by DJs and mixes that are posted online for free. Others leave this issue to chance, which often ends in deleting stream recordings or blocking the channel.
How can I check if the song was successfully added to my page?
If you are interested in how to check whether a track has been successfully set to status, you can do it like this:
- Open the start page and click on the small avatar in the upper right corner of the screen;
- Select “Settings”;
- Go to the “Privacy” block (in the right column). This is generally a great section for those who want to change their privacy settings;
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the link “See how other users see my page”;
- If you managed to put a track in your profile header, its name, along with a loudspeaker icon, will be displayed directly under your last name and first name.
Or simply, ask a friend to go to your profile and check whether the broadcast of music on VK is displayed in the status.
Well, we figured out how to put music in VK status, now you can easily do this from your mobile phone and computer. As you know, tracks will be displayed on your page as long as you are in “Online” mode. 15 minutes after closing the profile, the mode will change to “Offline” and the track will disappear from the broadcast. Accordingly, as soon as you log in to the page again, your friends will again be able to see your music status.
Method two - adding a note
In principle, the first method is enough to solve the question of how you can put a song in status in Odnoklassniki. However, this method has a disadvantage - you cannot add anything (for example, your emotions from the music). If this is important to you, then try another method:

How to put an eternal song on my page?
It is officially impossible to show music in VK status forever. VKontakte developers do not consider it necessary to support this option while the user is offline.

And after a few hours you find out that he just connected himself to eternal online. For what?? However, each person has his own motives.
So, as you understand, in order to make eternal music in VK status, you need to enable a permanent online mode. Officially, this is impossible, but if you install a special add-on in your browser or access the site through special online services, it’s easy.
- Among the plugins we recommend VK Fox, VK Helper;
- Services include ForVk.Space, Onlise.ru.
Please note that with the help of these additional programs, your profile will constantly show music in VK status, and other users will assume that you are always “Online”. But keep in mind that to set up you will have to transfer your profile login data to a third party, which is not always secure.
We inform, but never recommend the use of third-party software, as there is always a risk of running into scammers. Think about whether you really need this eternal status so much, and whether it’s worth risking your favorite page because of it. Weigh the pros and cons, and remember, if you use “left” services, VK is not responsible for the safety and security of your personal data.
