# How to add trending audio to Facebook reels


# Can I add a sound to Facebook videos?

Unfortunately, due to API limitations from Facebook, it's **NOT** possible to select a sound when [posting directly](/en/article/how-to-schedule-facebook-reels-w7ty8g/) through a 3rd party app, like Publer. 

In such cases, we recommend that you add a sound to the video before hand. After you have added the sound, you can upload the video to Publer, make any last minute changes, and then publish it directly through Publer. 

However, if you want to add trending Facebook audio, then you will have to rely on the [semi-automated and push-notifications](/en/article/how-to-schedule-reels-via-push-notifications-1i6lrj1/) solution mentioned below. 

# Workaround

As a workaround, you can choose to [get a reminder/push-notification](/en/article/how-to-schedule-reels-via-push-notifications-1i6lrj1/) on your phone on the scheduled time.

### To add a sound to your Facebook video:

1. Go to Publer, select your Facebook account, choose the Reel option and upload your reel.
2. Choose **Get a reminder** option and schedule the video.
3. You will get a notification once the video is ready, and then you can proceed with adding a sound.
4. Make the last changes, and post your Facebook video.

For a more detailed guide, please follow the steps outlined [on this article here.](/en/article/how-to-schedule-reels-via-push-notifications-1i6lrj1/) This semi-automated solution would let you finish posting the video using Facebook's editor, where you can add various elements to the video, including a trending audio. 

|| Note: If you want to [post Facebook reels directly](/en/article/how-to-schedule-facebook-reels-w7ty8g/), you cannot add a sound due to API limitations.
