How to add music to Instagram post

Adding music to Instagram stories is a great way to help tell your story, set the mood, and make your Instagram profile stand out from the crowd. In this article, we'll show you how to add music to your Instagram Stories in just a few simple steps.

How to add music to Instagram: Go to your profile

• Go to your profile.

• Select the plus icon in the top right corner of your screen.

• Select a photo or video you want to add music to.

• Select the sticker icon (looks like an iMessage bubble).

• Choose "Music."

• Choose the song you want, then select where you'd like it to start playing, and if it's an instrument or vocal recording, whether you'd prefer that part playing from start-to-end instead of looping indefinitely. You can also change volume levels here as well as fade in/fade out effects for the beginning and end of each track respectively—these options make for especially smooth transitions between songs when coupled with Instagram's built-in filters! To save any edits you've made so far before sharing them publicly online via social media channels such as Twitter or Facebook (which users tend not do often enough), simply hit "Done."

How to add music to Instagram: Select a photo or video

• Choose a photo or video to use.

• If you are recording, you can add music before or after recording your video.

• You may also choose a photo or video from your story archive.

How to add music to Instagram: Select the sticker icon

• Select the sticker icon and then select the music icon.

• Search for a song that you want to use to add music to your post via Spotify or Apple Music. The official Instagram app is not available on Android, so you'll need to use an iPhone in order to use this feature if you have an Android device.

• The search bar will appear above the icons at this point, allowing you to search for a song by typing in its title or artist name as well as checking out hot tracks that are trending right now on both services (Spotify only). If you're using Apple Music, there will also be an option here called "Featured Playlists," which allows users who pay their monthly subscription fee access certain curated playlists based around certain themes such as love songs or workout jams; these playlists usually include dozens of tracks each month that can be accessed when needed without having any knowledge about how those artists' careers progressed over time."

How to add music to Instagram: Tap the music icon

To add music to an Instagram post, you need to have the appropriate permissions. If you don’t, follow these steps:

• Tap the gear icon in the upper-right corner of your profile screen. This will take you to your account settings.

• Scroll down and tap on “Privacy & Settings” at the bottom of this page.

• In Privacy & Settings, tap “Edit Permissions” under “Accounts You Follow” or “Apps You Use."

• For each app or service that has access to your account's data and features (such as Spotify), tap on it and select “Remove Access"

How to add music to Instagram: Search for a song

• Type the name of a song into your search bar.

• Tap on the song you want to add to your story (you can preview it by tapping on it).

• Tap on the play button to preview your selection, or tap 'done' if it's not quite what you had in mind.

How to add music to Instagram: Choose a copyright-free song

You may have noticed that most of the songs in your music library are not copyright-free. If you want to add music to Instagram, you'll need to find a song that doesn't belong to anyone and isn't subject to copyright laws. This can be done by using the search bar on your phone or computer's browser and searching for "copyright free" or "public domain."

Once you've found some good candidates, open up your Instagram app and choose one from your library. You'll see a little musical note icon above the photo/video icon when it's time to add music; tap this button and select which track(s) should play while viewing this particular post!

How to add music to Instagram: Set the start point for your sound clip

The first step to adding music to your Instagram is picking a song. You can add background music to your post, or you can add stickers with songs and sounds.

If you want to use a song as background music for your post, keep in mind that the sound will only play while you're viewing the feed on Instagram itself (not through social media sharing). If this is what you want and need, then go ahead and choose an option from the list of songs available in their library.

If instead you'd like your followers to hear the entirety of whatever track you've selected, follow these steps:

• Open up Instagram's camera feature by tapping on its icon at the top left corner of your screen.

• Tap on "Record" in order after pressing record mode begins playing audio clips from available tracks within seconds - just tap again when done recording!

How to add music to Instagram: Add it as a sticker or in the background

If you want to add music to an Instagram post, you have two options: adding it as a sticker or in the background of your photo.

To add music as a sticker, go to your camera page by tapping on the icon in the bottom-right corner. Then take a picture or record a video, and tap on Edit at the top right of your screen. Next, tap on Stickers & Camera Effects at the bottom left of your screen and select Music & Sound FX along with other options like Magic Hour and Color Filters (I’m sure there are many more). Finally, select one of three tabs that appear across the top: Playlists (for music tracks), Genres (for songs from specific genres), or Songs (for individual songs). For each option you select from these tabs, there will be additional layers underneath that let you choose how long each layer plays for before looping back around again—so make sure yours is set accordingly! Tap Save when finished editing your post with music stickers!

You can add music from your library directly onto an instagram post.

You can add music from your library directly onto an instagram post.

• From within the app, search for a song and listen to it.

• Select the start point of where you want the music to begin playing in your video or photo. This may be useful if you're trying to avoid copyright issues with a specific part of a song, or if you have several seconds of silence at the beginning that you'd prefer not be included in your final product.

• Add as sticker or as background music by tapping on "Add."

Conclusion
