Post a hook

Intermediate6 min6 steps

A hook is a short video with a song playing under it, the catchiest part. It is how songs travel on Vocals: people swipe through hooks, and tap through to the song.

Step 1 of 6
  1. At the top right of Hooks, tap + Hook. Watching a song you like? It offers that song first.

  2. Pick from Recents (your songs), Public (the ones you published) or Liked.

  3. Bring a video From your device (2 to 60 seconds), or Make it with AI from your directions.

  4. Film it opens the camera with the song playing: pick a filter and a length, then hold to film. Turn on Sing to record your voice too.

  5. Slide to the part of the song that should play under the video: the chorus, usually.

  6. Add a caption, choose Show lyrics and Allow comments, then Post. Posting makes your song public.

Pro tips
