True Instagram fans know that to make stories interesting, bright, and noticeable, one photo or plot is not enough. And we’re ready to share a little secret on how to draw attention to your stories.

Recall, with the Stories feature on Instagram, users can create stories that will only be available for 24 hours. One way to make your story more interesting and vibrant is by adding music. So how do you add music to an Instagram story? Let's explain step by step.

  1. Open the Instagram app on your device.

  2. Tap on the camera icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

  3. Take a photo or video that you want to add to your story.

  4. Tap on the sticker icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

  5. From the list of stickers, select the "Music" sticker.

  6. Choose a song you would like to add to your story. You can search by song title, artist, or album.

  7. Overlay the song on your photo or video using the “Overlay music” option.

  8. You can change the song’s duration by selecting the desired part of the track.

  9. If you want to add text to your story, you can use the “Text” option and type the required text.

  10. Click on the "Publish" or "Send" button to publish your story with the added music.

Remember one important point: in some countries, access to certain songs may be restricted due to copyright. If you can't find the desired song, try choosing another or use music from the Instagram library. Also, do not forget to mention the music authorship in your story description, if necessary.
