- Let me share my experience and views on where Instagram is now in regards to DJ streaming and if there will ever be a solution for copyright claims and takedowns. Do they even know their own systems?

Mixcloud don't cut you for copyright reasons BUT the problem is that for unknown DJs like myself, nobody will watch your streams so in a sense you are paying $15.00 a month and getting zero views, where as Facebook/Instagram your friends and family will show you support.
There needs to be a platform where we get some traffic coming to our stream (like periscope and LiveMe), instead of trying to beg non DJ's to go to a DJ site to watch us play live.
The way to solve that is to allow your friends and followers from FB and IG to check you out on Mixcloud. Unless they know where you are live streaming, you will not get any views.
@@househeadspeakz yea, but how many of those people are going to sign up to another platform towatch let alone click a link? Facebook makes this even more difficult by distributing it less if the post's purpose is to link outside of its platform unless it's boosted.
Mixcloud much as I love the WAY it is set up is trash. Soundcloud is way better AND they will help you build your brand
Men of culture
So glad you posted this...I got so sick of getting kicked off various platforms (mainly for old school rock, jay z, prince and Michael Jackson and new hip hop associated music), I just went back to playing for myself to keep on my dj toes for whensoever a gig pops up. Its frustrating cause in this sad time, all we really want to do is help people escape their sorrows.
MY DAD HAS DONE 8HR DJ SETS ON MIXCLOUD..THAT IS THE WAY TO GO..
Ot Twitch. Facebook is IG and they are both not for the DJ
@@nodaysoff2005 I did one on Twitch other day, and it got muted. How do you go live on Mixcloud? i can't a a live function ;/
Facebook is like Russian Roulette.
I’ve recently read news items about former IG employees suing the company for a horrible work environment. Doesn’t surprise me they yessed you to death in order to stay with their platform for the event and then didn’t come thru with what they promised.
@@Ninjjadog need a premium account.
Yeah man this is real talk! Who every solves the license game is going to be the winner!
Yep, sounds like FB/IG still isn't trying to hear the music, but hey the loss will be theirs when Mixcloud and other sites like PlayDJ get more popular. FB/IG allowed places like zoom far exceed them and now FB has a zoom type setting all of a sudden. FB tries to control everything, but their lack of commitment to people is slowly costing them more and more in the long run.
Facebook bought Instagram because it was becoming more popular, that's what they do, if they cant buy the new companies they just copy their features like what they did with snapchat. Regular people dont really hang out in PlayDJ or Mixcloud tho, it's hardly competition in their eyes.
Facebook is a public company. They are concerned mainly with the interest of shareholders and major advertisers. Peope are the asset they use to make money and now their business model is in question?
Since you last spoke on this I was already a mixcloud fanatic. I've teased at Facebook with going live as I've only had a bit over an hour before getting clipped. But okay I'll take that as i never expect to go far on it. Mixcloud gives me more opportunity to focus on recording now that I have this lighting figured out. Great topic as always bro. Keep roc'n out!! 👍👍
Gotta admit that us DJ's have been fighting the good fight on IG and FB, but even I have noticed a decline on the Lives I've been seeing. I still need to try out Mixcloud Live but you're right that it looks like it will be the new wave. The best lives I've done have been Zoom parties. No worries about the streaming police there, but it's definitely more of a challenge to attract participants. Either way, thank you for sharing your experience. I am excited to see the future of DJ streaming and performances. Thanks Cleveland Terry! -iamdjvoyage
Finally someone to call IG (Ignorance Granted) for what it really is. I have not done an IG Live in about 30 days now. They are just cutting randomly which tells me that their algorithm is malfunctioning or they simply dont know what they are doing. You called it like it is!!!!!
Yo thanks for staying on top of this 👍🏽 So yeah a friend works for Twitch and warned me pre-Covid to be wary even with unlicensed (background) music during gaming. As for a "DJ Set" their policy clearly states it as a "May Not Use.'" I know ATM they're not as diligent as FB/IG so many are building on it but I agree that it's just a matter of time before they crack down. Personally I wish Caffeine.tv would take the initiative and invest in some licensing because their platform seems to push music heavy and with their celebrity backing, maybe they could make waves. For now I'll revisit Mixcloud
Great video I was on a friends podcast a few weeks ago and we discussed this same issue. All the tech companies and record companies are idiots that are losing out on a huge market and potential for new fans to discover artists and music. I used to be a producer and I saw the death of the music industry when MP3s came along and these guys haven't learned anything since then.
DJ Keo thanks for sharing
Good video Cleveland. If you don't know, now you know. This is Jay Book saying. Thanks, be safe😷😷😷
I'm wondering how long before the record companies stop MixCloud from allowing live streaming their music. Compared to FB, IG, and CZcams, Mixcloud is a small business, so I can't understand how THEY have managed to secure music rights where as the big boys can not? I hope I'm wrong but watch this space, the labels will pounce on MixCloud.
Perfect example of why building your own list is important.
That's that BS Cleveland. You and the client even confirmed with them and they still on that?!?!....WOW. Thank you for sharing this information man.
True that, you should be able to counter the claim and leave it on IG to deal with or even have a penalty in the shows favor. (Of course that doesnt go both ways but it should to be fare.)
Jazzy jeff seem to be on for two hours with no issues but maybe he plays the right songs ??
DJ Funkbox... Appreciate your work Bro It's for all of us I feel your Passion and a pain, Frustrating bro we thank you!
in 2007 yahoo had yahoo live...best format ever log on set up your show and run it...i loved it...you cant right control sounds.....this copyright thing is out of control...ridiculous
For IG, I've been using the advice swizz gave which was limit your songs to less than 90 seconds , and i can get a good 45-55 min. before i get booted. But you're right, always worrying about getting cut off is a drag. The record labels are adamant about enforcing copyrights, you'd think that during these troubling times they would give dj's a waiver for a few months. As always you are on point young jedi !
Someone with clout in the music industry needs to pitch a subscription platform for dj's to use cleared musical licenses on some of these popular social media sites. I'm sure a dj would sign up to show his or her's creativity without issues. Just my thought. $5.00/per month could go along way.
You might be on to something
Facebook now bumps you of after 45 minutes regardless of copy right you are forced to start broadcasting a fresh.... this platforms have dropped the ball. Mix Cloud link on this stack up platforms is the way to go!
DJ Juma Pesa Broadcast I noticed that too.
Unless this has started this week... I’ve managed an 1 hour 15 min last weekend.
@@ClevelandTerry My 1stquestion to you as a dj is. If you just created a custom website where you can stream music, sell custom merch, collect donations & even collect email from direct subcribers all in one & just promote your website on social would it still have the same outcome wouldn't that work out better? 2nd question is if you allowed a song to just play half way through before cross fading if into a 2nd song that also plays half way through & maybe add a sound effect in the middle & end would it still have copy right issues?
Event planner trying to find a platform for her displaced deejays. Sorry to hear about this - that's a nightmare and it sucks. Thanks for sharing.
What would be cool for these websites to do is when ever a song is played, a link to their streaming service pops up and folks in the comments can purchase and or stream if they want. This should happen when ever anyone goes live.
As a producer, I personally wouldn't mind this. It's free advertising i wouldnt be able to pay for.
I'm going to try to live stream on POF tomorrow I'll let you know how it goes
Great points; great video.
Hi DJ Alex TheGothmariner here. I have not been on Mixcloud long but I love it! I use Mixcloud it is the way ahead I use the big social media to direct my audience advertise to my radio show and live streams on Mixcloud. At first I would stream on Mixcloud and read the chat on Facebook and tell them I would stop chatting on Facebook for later shows to encourage everyone to get a free Mixcloud account to chat on there. Now I only announce streams and post links on big social media. The big social media don't care about DJs we are a tiny percentage of there audience that bring big music licencing headaches to them but Mixcloud is all about music and DJs. See you on Mixcloud. ;)
To think we actually promoting the damn music 😒
Right. Without DJs who in the hell will play the music at clubs & parties
I don’t understand your point. If instagram doesn’t own the rights to the music, how can they allow open use? Am I missing something here?
Nice informative video. Thank you.
Another good video. What is your take on streaming with bandlab as a dj ?
We appreciate the info!
Good video. No complaints on what was said. You hit it in the head sir
THANKS FOR SHARING BRO.
I'm curious to know what licence(s) Mixcloud were able to negotiate that Twitch (owned by Amazon) & Instagram (owned by Facebook) have not been able to obtain. Seems odd. Maybe this type of licencing is too expensive to 'give away for free'? If that is the case, why don't they change their model and offer Twitch/Instagram premium. Any legit DJ will be happy to pay for a platform/channel that makes sure artists/writers/copyright holders get their fair slice. Without speaking their legal departments to get a clear/clearer explanation, we can only hypothesize. I want to know! I want us all to have a proper way to do this - without hitting problems. I know that with Film & TV shows, music is cleared/licenced legitimately for either the World or certain territories. Streaming for certain territories would be better than nothing - if we know in advance. Not sure how users (in a restricted country) could circumnavigate a streaming app using a VPN, if that's at all possible? Worldwide would be future forward. It's up to us to put friendly pressure on, suggest, & advise our favourite streaming platforms to deliver what we want - even at a premium.
Mixcloud has a radio license and is in the UK.
@@djdavejordan6498 I should have been clearer. I was talking about the recently launched, Mixcloud Live - that allows DJs (who pay for a premium service) to Live stream DJ sets (Video & Sound/Music) across the internet to any territory. My thought was...why doesn't Twitch (Amazon) or Instagram (Facebook) obtain the same licence and offer the same kind of service?
I suggest you have a read of this medium blog post, and hopefully it will answer your questions. medium.com/pretzelrocks/lets-take-a-minute-to-talk-about-the-dmca-cd14596a329d
I feel for you, can only hope it gets better
Thanks for sharing your story! The only time I ever felt safe playing on Instagram Live was when I was on Dnice page. I have a Mixcloud account and will try the live soon. They were giving away 3 months pro membership for free recently.
Dj Sophia yeah, Mixcloud is the future. Right now I have been on twitch which won’t shut your live down but it will mute your replay and that all I ever really wanted. The DJ community is thick there. BTW...do you know how dope you are?! Keep doing it girl. I am SO IMPRESSED. You got mad skills.
Another great video! The platforms to use is periscope and Twitter superior video and audio and they haven’t started booting you yet! Get in contract with Dj Ace he has been using those platforms with great results. I’m going to using Mixcloud!
yo thanks CT..Im in the Caribbean and we got our share of the shit 2.Informative vid for us djz...👍🏿💪🏿😎
Thanks for the info
To be honest, i rate Mixcloud. I done some work with these guys (albeit outside of the music sphere) and being a DJ i was asking questions and tbh their setup is impressive. So, recently after i treated myself to some new turntables i thought id give it a crack. I cba with being booted off for copyright strikes so went with the mixcloud platform and it was perfect for me. Had it set up in about 10 minutes, obs and mixcloud worked fine together and everyone that logged in said that the audio and video quality was spot on, i was also streaming for 4 hours - straight off the bat. What more can you ask for? Had people watching from all over - uk, canada, afghanistan, australia and it worked flawlessly. IG, facebook and whatever - youre just going to get booted and if people are enjoying themselves is it really worth the hassle?
I have a question,, in an earlier video Cleveland said that in Mixcloud there’s an issue on how you invite people to watch your set. He said that you have to copy and paste a URL on,, let’s say Facebook, and hope that people click on it. I was hoping that people could just go to Mixcloud, type in your name in the search and all they’d have to do at that point is click on your profile and boom,,, they see your stream! Please tell me how you do it! Greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!!
Hey man, so as you set up the stream it gives you a link. Theres a little button that you click and it copies the link to your clipboard and you just paste it to wherever you want, so in a facebook status, IG story / bio etc. People click it and it takes you straight to your live stream. A lot of my pals registered a mixcloud login with their facebook credentials and i believe it lets them know if im live streaming (i could be wrong on that though). In short though, it was really easy foe people to join.
Another thing i would say is this. Before i went to mixcloud i asked my DJ/Producer pals if they had any questions for me to ask. One of the questions that come a lot was why the premium subscriptions and the guys at mixcloud were saying that it costs a lot of money for them to get the licenses so we can play what we want over livestream etc and because they wanted to develop this area they had to find the income to be able to buy the licensing. I cant imagine how much licensing fees are but i love the fact that there is a platform for us where we can legally play what we want without the fear of breaching licensing agreements and from what Cleveland Terry was saying on this video, it seems like a minefield.
What would be the best platform for a DJ to stream a live session on? All my followers are on Instagram.
MixCloud is the way to go for now...
Thanks for informing us, Cleveland Terry. I did a test using Restream and used Facebook, Twitch, and Mixcloud to stream my sets. Well, Facebook muted my stream, send my copyright notice. I disputed but it didn't matter 4 they took down my video. I intend on testing again using CZcams and Mixer as well as Twitch and Mixcloud. I belong to 3 online radio show but live stream on 2 of them. I don't use IG because they are too much of a hassle and after I saw your video, I decided to skip the platform. I will keep trying to see which platform will allow me as a DJ to play the live stream. I'll use FB and IG to promote and inform my followers to go towards the other platforms when I go live. You are right that these platforms won't service us DJs so we should not use them. There are plenty of platforms and Mixcloud is a major one for they have supported DJs and Producers since day one. Like you CT, I will other platforms and will stay away from FB and IG for live stream. They are not worth the time.
Thanks for the heads up. I use Restream for Facebook, CZcams, Twitch, Periscope via Twitter and LinkedIn. For some reason I can't find Mixcloud in the channel section tho
@@djroxwellpresents510 Mixcloud is still working on their platform and may eventually partner with Twitch. For now, you'd have to get a paid subscription with Twitch and add Mixcloud as an "Other".
@@pweldon That would be cool. Anywhere DJs can display our craft without interruptions or haterism Im all for it. Although I like Twitch, its more of a site for gamers. Im considering the membership with Mixcloud. There's a 3 month trial included with that. Seems worth it. Also LinkedIn is not effective on their platform. I'd rather include Mixcloud in the channel section and eliminate this one.
Thank you!
Been streaming on IG and FB for months now and finally figured it out. Take the Key Correction off on Serato. Speed your tracks up a little (or slow em down) but keep the key correction off. I've had zero problems since doing this.
Just a heads up, & because I like your channel, plus the art of DJing, you can go live as a DJ but you must hold a mix of more than 1 song constant.. this means it's a constant remix blends. You may be muted in certain countries but I've held a mix for over an hour on FB live. Never tried Instagram tho..
I understand your frustration. All cleared should mean just that. If not, specify the exceptions.
Excellent break down my dude..
and what was that show your gonna be on with Mojaxx ? is that online?
Yeah check my IG for the flyer. @clevelandterry_
Great video but I have a question. You havent mentioned Periscope. I have been on that platform for 6years and never had an issue with getting booted off. is there a reason not using that platform
Also what about twitch
Always knowledgeable, useful, and practical information. What time is your broadcast with Mojaxx on Friday?
10am pst / 1pm est
See this the biggest reason I start my first DJ mix video on CZcams. At least they’re legit about what can and cannot play. I wasn’t sure about IG to begin with. But this was awesome information, off topic real quick what advice can you give to those who just started DJing but is having a tough time getting practice because of time with family and work?
CZcams definitely is not the move for dj mixes. They will demobilize or even delete what you did. Either twitch (be weary) or mixcloud that’s all we have right now
Or get your live privileges taken away if your doing live streams keep that in mind
Does it take awhile for IG to send you a warning notification? I tried live for the first time yesterday and no warnings yet. But on fb, I get one within 15 mins.
Great information
Going to share this with our dj group in LA, (the ADJA LA Roundtable Group).
As long as you’re not selling your mixes and stuff, as a DJ or a normal Customer, when I buy the song/record/digital format, are you not paying for the right when you purchase it? If i want to live stream while I dj, there is no download or save option, and im not charging people to watch or get into a party, my rights are paid are they not by purchasing the track?
Mixcloud Live is the best way to go, been streaming live this week, once you get the OBS settings right it works perfectly
Yeah the battle of IG lives on Instagram is not a winnable one sadly.
what software you use to edit your videos
Where did you get that turntable photo on your wall it’s nice
Hey how come we can't just have a situation where we pay o monthly fee for music licensing ??? I work in the school district. All schools, and colleges pay asap bmi copyright licenses for the bands to be able to play music, for the dos to do dances. I work at nightclubs which pay live dance and performance permits which also pay copyright fees. Restaurants also pay licensing fees which is why you can goto apple bees and hard rock and hear music through there systems while you eat. Why is it different for us to use these platforms. Yes i know some folks are gonna hate on paying but shit already pay monthly for iTunes, spotify, apps that we use. Is there something preventing this that Im not aware of figured Id ask someone far more informed than myself.
Thanks!!
Twitch is where it’s been for years for DJs, Wild West of streaming platforms. Just been waiting for more audience to find us. Glad people are figuring it out.
Twitch is now getting DMCA’S for music.
I haven’t seen it yet. Do you have any examples?
Cleveland Terry thesource.com/2020/06/09/twitchs-crackdown-on-music-infringement-might-stop-live-dj-sets/
Yesterday, I tested my live stream using Restream. I added Mixcloud, Twitch, and CZcams. CZcams didn't show my live stream so I am removing it. I have no issues with Twitch or Mixcloud. They will be the ones I use with another platform once that is up and running. The others I won't bother.
So what's the difference between the Stream SofiTukker does every single day? I dont ever see them getting kicked off
IG, FB, and other platforms don't understand their copyright parameters because they don't understand all the complexities of copyright, that their ContentID engines still are flagging things in-stream even if they give "special permission", and frankly they dropped the ball trying to work with copyright holders to be able to create a platform for DJs to safely operate on. It's not totally their fault because of how draconian copyright is but they do have the might to be able to bargain for us.
And while Mixcloud on paper is safe, I am curious for how long. They are basing off UK law and if they blow up I bet you they are going to get attacked from US copyright holders and it could be a massive battle brewing.
The only way this gets fixed is if lobbying congress to either work in rules specific for the DJ profession (hell I would pay for a yearly "everything is legal" pass) and/or work in clarity in law and simplicity of copyright clearing. This is literally the only way it gets fixed, if it ever can be fixed.
Fully agree with you
I don't think so. Mixcloud has all the licenses and has been supporting DJs and Producers since day one. I believe once they off beta and have all the bugs fixed, they will be the go-to platform for DJs for they know first hand the needs of DJs/Producers.
Your suggestion is the way to go.. I think a lot of DJs wouldn’t mind a yearly Copyright pass
ONE WORD: MIXCLOUD
Oh man CT. I'm so tired of being frustrated with IG as well. I see their CEO posting about how the platform cares about causes and its users blah blah blah... All BS. Like you said they don't even know the product they have! I would love to use more of Mixcloud. If you have a chance could you ask them if they plan of making it possible to livestream from their phone app in the future? I never planned on doing streams to begin with and aside from my phone I don't have equipment that is reliable enough to stream from a webcam. Anyway, that would be a big help for some of us... Thanks for informing us my brother. Cheers!
They are working on an app version but it’s later down the line.
D NICE gets special treatment. I just want to be able to dj live without getting cut off. I'll even pay a fee per month to do it.
i release mixes on mixcloud, they claim the copyright holders are being compensated i think, so that speaks to the longevity of the platform. Im curious about their live streaming capability.
When is mix-cloud providing an option to upload videos like that of CZcams?
See my response regarding Sync rights above.
I tried djing all my own content and tunes and i got banned for cooyrighted content that was all my own
Exactly. It’s screwed up.
Im curious is there a time length restriction on how long a CZcams video can be? I tried uploading a CZcams video but had issues. Can anyone offer advice on this?
Yes, you can't upload over 10 or 15 minutes (I think it's 15)if you don't have a certain number of subscribers.
@@ClevelandTerry Thanks and makes sense I wanted to do some videos to showcase my skills and wanted to dump some of my Twitch lives here but theyre longer then 15mins (generally) 1 hour .Thanks checking out some of your other videos
They can't control the AI on their platforms.... I get flagged on every live episode of my podcast for featuring my own music. Then I have to file a dispute claim to the label that I own. Ridiculous!!!
I thought Twitch didn’t have this issue, that’s why I downloaded it but haven’t went live on it yet 🤔... Been wanting to try MixCloud, guess I will pull the trigger. Thanks for the video!
Twitch is not going to last for sure. Luckily I play Soca, but I'm sure it's not gonna last.
You re right, got the message
IG has been going downhill for years now.. it’s a shame cuz like you said they don’t know how great of a platform they have.. If they ain’t making money off of you they don’t care about you.. the struggle continues for us Dj’s.
I noticed DJs that do allot of talking during their set on IG tend to stay on longer. Normally after 30 minutes I am kicked off. Does mix cloud have video streaming?
@TS3 Music . . . Yes
Yes ... These platforms are very vague about what can be played and what can't .... But they will bug you all day about posting pictures or adding friends 🤔
It's all fully AI operated. You will need to "play games" with the algorithm to prevent getting kicked out. About 2 months ago, I DJ live on Instagram for 2 hours and never got kicked off. Here's the trick I did,
> Mix your songs as quickly as possible
> Use LOTS & LOTS of effects. Use Echo, filter, Noise, Tremolo; Do backflips and dumps.
> Have another DJ or friend MC over the music ALOT. Say shoutouts, thank yous, welcomes, and jokes. It really helps.
Periscope though for Twitter?
well i usually do a live mix on facebook and yess sometimes i get a warning about music copyright but sometimes no and thats makes me more carefull to choose a song and only use a bootleg or remixed song only and yaeh it worked but somtimes no to but atleas its minimized the posiblelity of geting baned from facebook...
i never tought that instagram would do that i mean i never do a live set on that and just dealing with facebook
twitch might be the only possible one given it belongs to amazon and amazon its also a music platform i don't know if that makes a difference
You're good for the live feed but the replay will be scrubbed and any copyrighted music will be muted.
Mixcloud needs to be able to archive videos for 30 days.. They need to add more social media features.
They said it’s coming.
According to an interview with Mixcloud bosses, Mixcloud won't archive the video portion of the mix because of the complexities and expense of Sync rights (which are different from playback rights as Sync rights are what allow the use of audio in video) but will archive the audio portion of the mix.
Question
I have been purchasing vinyl records for many many years . Ok since I'm
6 or 7 years old some of them that far back. Ok so when buy a record
Back then say $6.99- to $11.99
Full album and as years go on
12" for $7.99 and upwards depending on when (if it was later on when the joint was hot or they sold a new funky long version).
Is that not my record ?
Yes ... so why can't I play it whenever i want ???
And here is my problem
So all the records i own
I really dont ?
And why is that?
Most of them are before today's
Executive even worked for WHATEVER company is claiming
They own my record collection.
If that's the case
I want a full refund with interest
Compounded daily for over
30 years ??
Then and only then I will ask if it's ok to the old record , plus what about the records with hole in the corner ?
Please explain this to me.
Thanks DJEZD !!!!!
You own the right to play the music for personal use. As soon as you attempt to play it commercially and or broadcast it you have to acquire a music license.
Mixcloud is were I stream at. I have stopped going live on Facebook, IG, Twitch, CZcams & Periscope. I've used Mixcloud several times and haven't had any issues. As far as the other platforms I found out that for them to pay for the music licensing it would only be a single-digit percentage to their profits and it would not be worth it to them.
Its all license automation on these platforms.
I betcha they didnt program the platform system to implement specific event exclusions.
So basicly the IG people were ignorant them selves and probably trusted someone to take care of it, who couldnt because of the automation.
in norway i pay for the music i use live and on my radio channel. why can't youtube, twitch, facebook and instagram just ask for the code I got ?
Buying music does not give you the right to play music online. Buying music is for personal use only.
@@ClevelandTerry
no you misunderstood, i pay for how much i use the music. I have to buy the music.
Agreed. I'm surprised we can still play music in clubs anymore. lol
I was mixing on facebook got booted off, so I put in a dispute that only I could see it. Even though I was live, i set it up so no one but me could see it for practice and they never got backnto me. I'm going to start learning more about mixcloud.
It’s pretty frustrating dealing with these social platforms. For a while, I got around IG live by playing remixes and white labels, but eventually, they shut those down too.
Damn, I feel this dude’s frustration. IG, FB, both trip.
Yeah, I like to screen capture music from my favorite bands on youtube or metal station app I use and put them on instagram well I've gotten warnings that I can't use the music because of copyright for at least 3 or 4 songs. Freakin sucks.
Bless Up
Hey, I've seen DJs hosting Zoom parties. What do you see in the future for that?
They need to improve their audio compression. It sounds like trash
I'm in love with mixcloud now. Sure theres a 15 dollar a month charge to live dj there. But twitch pushing the same copyright stuff made me push to dj in mixcloud lol
You are nice I see it in your eyes
Your saying ig needs to get there ish together
I have seen many DJs have gotten booted but I have never got booted! and my streams be hitting high numbers so IDK if they are vindictive or they genuine! SMH
12hour Livestream Whoo Whoo! Too bad about the glitches.
Cleveland Terry, Instagram said you are clear to play "all your music" probably refers to the music the DJs created themselves, not music that was created by others that needs to be licensed. Instagram is probably unaware of what a DJ actually is... plays other peoples music 🤦🏾♂️
Instagram knows exactly what DJs are doing.
I just post my mixes on MIXCLOUD. Live streaming only works for me playing house and techno music.
I would say this is probably due to the buy out of instagram by Facebook. The donate probably didn’t work in specific countries due to fraud levels in those countries and the card processing would need to be approved prior to a transaction. This is controlled by ip. Or they may not pay or have processing in the currency or financial institution backing in the country for the processor.
