Unlike a traditional video, Instagram&#8217;s Stories allow you to share music. Spotify&#8217;s new features make the process even easier. To get started, simply create a playlist and share it with your followers. Then, just follow these simple steps to share Spotify music on Instagram stories.<\/p>\n<p>In the process of sharing the video to your Instagram account, you can also add music to your Instagram story using third-party apps. First, you need to be a premium or free user of Spotify to use this feature. Once you&#8217;ve created an account, launch Spotify and click on &#8220;Share&#8221; at the bottom of the screen. In the next window, you&#8217;ll see a list of songs you&#8217;ve uploaded. Select one or more songs and click &#8220;share&#8221; to add them to your Instagram story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customizing_the_icon_of_a_music_player\"><\/span>Customizing the icon of a music player<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When using the Instagram Story app, you can customize the icon of a music player to fit the look and feel of your content. You can also choose the color of the lyrics, which appear in a small carousel above the music player icon. The lyrics can be styled to match the background color of the story, or they can be hidden altogether. The lyrics also have an option to match the color of your photo or video.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the icon of a music player in an Instagram story is easy. First, select the song you want to add to your story. Then, tap on the icon of the music player. You can also select the lyrics if you have them and add them to your story. You can also customize the music stickers with lyrics and cover art. Changing the icon color will make it appear more appealing to your audience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_lyrics_to_your_Instagram_story\"><\/span>Adding lyrics to your Instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding lyrics to your Instagram story is a fun way to highlight your songwriting efforts and engage your audience. You can choose which font and colour your lyrics should be, and you can preview your story before sharing it with others. To share a song, you must first be a verified artist with a verified Instagram account. Then, simply choose the song you want to share and press &#8220;Add lyrics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adding lyrics to your Instagram story is easy! All you need to do is download the Instagram app and follow the instructions on the screen. You can also edit the color and size of your lyrics, and then save your Story to your phone.

Simply select the song name from the drop-down menu that appears, and you&#8217;re ready to go.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_song\"><\/span>Adding a song<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can now add a song to your Instagram Story!

Afterwards, you can add as many songs as you like! You can even add GIFs, polls, and hashtags to your story to make it more exciting!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_song_to_a_reel\"><\/span>Adding a song to a reel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a song to an Instagram story is an easy way to add some personality to your posts. Using Instagram Reels allows you to use original songs, which can be found in the platform&#8217;s library. If you don&#8217;t want to use copyrighted music, you can also find free tracks on other social media websites. You can also use audio clips from other Reels.<\/p>\n<p>You can add music to an Instagram story reel through the app&#8217;s editor. It&#8217;s easy to do! First, record a video using the Reel feature and then upload it from your camera roll. The video can last up to 15 seconds. After recording, tap on the music icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen. Select the part of the song you want to use, and then drag the timeline to adjust its timing. Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the timing and quality, click on the white arrow to post it to the Feed or Story.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"268\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/quUiSL2RwfI\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Play Music on Instagram Story If you&#8217;d like to share your Instagram story with a song or video, you can do so using Spotify.
