Would you like to learn to add songs to your Insta story? In this discussion, I will be explaining how to add music to your Instagram story.
To start with, let’s take a look at how it works.
How Instagram Music Story Works
Instagram lets you add your songs to story easily. To ease use, there are sticker made available for users to allow you to place a picture while the music plays in the background.
The Instagram story also provides an option to add lyrics to any song you have selected and this will be synchronized along with the song when people view your story.

You have the opportunity to select and add your songs and put them in categories based on the popular, moods and genre option. Besides, you can select songs from the search bar located at the top.
Unfortunately, only 15seconds of your song will be available on your story, just like WhatsApp status video lasts for 30 seconds. However, you can indicate which part of the song you want to add and should be played.
Now to the days’ business.
