Meta will start rolling out a new subscription service called Meta Verified across Instagram and Facebook.

Meta has launched a dedicated website for Rights Manager, its video, audio, and image matching tool that helps creators, brands, media publishers, sports leagues, music labels, and more identify their content across Facebook and Instagram

Facebook is expanding Professional Mode globally to all creators, giving them access to new creator tools and monetization opportunities.

With the Branded Content Tool, creators can easily disclose Reels they create in partnership with brands. Like Instagram Reels, their video will have a Paid Partnership label when they add the tag.

Meta unveiled several ad-related updates for Facebook and Instagram, including new ad formats for Facebook Reels and ad placements in Explore Home and Profile Feed.

These add to a growing list of features that Facebook has delivered to creators over the past few months, including Interoperable Subscriptions and Music Revenue Sharing.

Through a new Music Revenue Sharing feature, creators can now earn money for Facebook videos with licensed music — something that wasn't possible before.

Facebook announced it's testing new features for Facebook Groups. They include new ways for users to organize Groups and new ways for users to connect with each other in smaller settings.

Meta announced several updates to creator monetization for Facebook and Instagram this week, including delaying the charging of creator fees for Subscriptions, Badges, Paid Online Events, and Bulletin until 2024.

Meta shared updates for Reels Play bonus programs.

Facebook Group administrators and moderators now have access to new tools to keep their communities safe and to grow their communities.
