Stories can entice your followers in many ways. Through them, you can ask for opinions on a sensitive world matter, or get recommendations for a product your business is about to launch. They are also a great way to let your followers know when you make a new post on your profile because more than half of your followers will probably not be able to see your post on their newsfeed because of Instagram’s haphazard algorithmic rules. Besides this, Instagram offers a wide range of filters to choose from to add more colors and brilliant effects to your pictures and videos and make your stories more vibrant and attractive. What this feature lacks is that it doesn’t let you add music to Instagram story.
Snapchat was the first social media app to introduce the 24-hour story feature, but Instagram and Facebook caught on quickly. People have been using Instagram’s story feature to make friends and “potential lovers” aware of their daily shenanigans in the form of short videos, Gifs, and photos. Needless to say, this story trend has been enormously popular.
Most of the time when you record something all you get is a cacophonous sound that irritates your viewers and ruins your stories. But no need to worry! There are actually a couple of ways you can use to add music to your looping stories and give them a little something they’re missing. You can choose whichever genre of music you think would best suit your video. Your story can have ACDC exploding in the background, or Beethoven’s sobering symphonies, it’s all up to you.
Here we will demonstrate two ways to add music to Instagram story, one is directly through Instagram and the other is by using a third-party app. Both of them work perfectly well!
