What would we be without music? Music brightens up a trip or a cleaning day at home, comforts us or accompanies us when we are sad, encourages us, makes us dance at any party, transports us to moments that we remember fondly… In addition, musical taste is something very personal and that says a lot about the personality of each one.
So it’s no wonder we want to share our favorite songs with all our friends. Not only by recommending our latest musical discovery when we are together in the car, but also through social networks. They know this well from Instagram and, therefore, they have different options to accompany your music publications.
This gives a unique and special touch to the photo or video you want to share, it allows you to show your followers your favorite topics and, if you choose songs that are trending at the moment, it can increase the visibility and reach of your publications. From Stories to Reels to regular profile posts, let’s see how you can share content with music on Instagram.
A relatively recent novelty of this social network is the possibility of adding a song to the photos that you upload to your feed. That is, the ones that appear on your main profile. Maybe you want to upload a photo with your best friend and accompany her with that song that you always sing in chorus when it plays at the disco. Or perhaps an emotional rhythm with which to accompany a beautiful landscape.
Whatever your choice, you just have to go to the button to upload a new publication. Choose the selected photo and go to the next step. After going through the editing screen, you will access the section where you can write the caption, tag other people, add the location or add the music. Select this last option and a search engine will appear for you to choose the song. And voila, to harvest likes!
The process to add music to Instagram Stories is very simple. From the story upload screen, take a photo or video with your camera, or select one from your gallery. Next, access the icon of a square with a smiley face. In this you will find options to add the location, the mention, question stickers, GIFs, surveys… And also music. Click on this option and search for the chosen song. You can indicate the exact verse where you want it to be played.
In the case of Reels, you will have to edit the video as you like first. When you have the montage of the clips done, select the emoticon with a musical note. There you will be able to lower or raise the original volume of the video or even silence it, add voiceover, audio that you have saved from other users or add a song at will.
