Add Music to Instagram Stories With Music Stickers
Follow the below steps to add music to your Instagram story using the Music sticker:
How to Add Music to an Instagram Post the ‘Old Way’
This third method of adding music to Instagram Stories is how everyone used to add tunes to videos before the Music sticker feature launched. This can also be used when filming regular video posts as well. While it’s an old method, it’s still effective and can be used to incorporate music tracks that aren’t available officially within the Instagram app. This also removes the time limit for each song as well.
How to Add Music for Instagram Videos
While Instagram allows you to crop a video and add filters to it during the upload process to your main feed, it doesn’t offer any way to add music to it. This means you need to add music to your video using another app, save it, then upload this newly edited video to Instagram. Fortunately, there are a large number of free video editing apps available for iOS, Android, and Windows that makes adding music to video clips very easy.
Where to Find Music for Instagram Videos
If you’re adding music to your Instagram Story with the Music sticker, you don’t need to worry about finding tunes since the sticker essentially provides you with Spotify’s entire library. If you’re using the third method, though, or want to add music to an Instagram video post, you need to find a track to use by yourself. Technically, you can use any song from Spotify, iTunes, or any other music service, but your video may be flagged for copyright infringement. The safest option is to use royalty-free music from one of the many websites available online. They provide free and paid options for music usage and are typically open to anyone. Another option is to compose your own music using a music creation or composer app.
