Where to Add Music in VidDay

You can add and manage your music in the Customize section of your event page.

Step-by-Step:

Go to your VidDay event page.
Click the Customize card.
Scroll to the Background Music section.

Choosing Music for Your VidDay Video

Click Add Song to get started. You’ll see two options:

🎵 1. Use VidDay’s Music Library

VidDay offers a curated selection of royalty-free tracks across various moods and styles — perfect for birthdays, retirements, anniversaries, baby showers, and more.

Click the play icon to preview a song.
Once you find one you like, click Add to Playlist.

All songs in the VidDay library are licensed and ready to use — no copyright issues to worry about.

📁 2. Upload Your Own Music

Want to use a personal favorite? You can upload your own MP3 or compatible audio files.

Simply click Upload Song, choose your file, and add it to your playlist.

✅ Make sure you have permission to use any songs you upload.

Managing Your Playlist

After adding songs to your playlist, you can:

Drag and drop to change the order of the songs.
Choose which track plays first.
Let the playlist loop automatically if it’s shorter than your final video.

💡 Your playlist will continue playing until your video ends — so you don’t have to worry about gaps.

Controlling Music Volume on Specific Clips

Not every moment needs background music — especially if someone is singing or there's already music playing in the clip.

Here’s how to turn off to fade music on individual photos or videos:

Click any thumbnail in your timeline.
This opens the Edit view.
Use the Background Music toggle to mute or fade out the music for that specific section.
