How to Add Music to Instagram Stories

How do you add music to an Instagram post? So, you have a video chosen to add to your Instagram Stories. Now you need to click on the sticker button at the top of your screen among the other options and select the music sticker from there. This will bring you to the music selection menu where you can browse or choose from the list ‘For you’ with the search bar above. Now you have that sticker on top of your story video to adjust the song and select the section to play during the video. The only issue here is that if you want to post it to your feed you can’t just go ahead and click the download button at the top of the screen because there would be no music but just the same video without it. So that was how to add music on Instagram posts and for Stories now let’s go to Reels.

It is a very similar process to what we’ve done with Stories. Select the Reels tab at the bottom and here all we have to do is click on the audio on the left and again choose the music to your taste from the two presented lists by either browsing or picking one from a ready-made list. Select the section of the song you want to play during the video and click Done. And now as you are going to record you will have the music going on. Or you can just import the video from your phone, and it will work the same with the music. That was how to add music on Instagram post Reels.
