You can change the color and add custom music. It only takes a few steps to do this. However, if you&#8217;d like to use other colors, you may have to change the whole theme. Follow the steps below to change the background of your Instagram story. Once you&#8217;ve changed the background, you can add music and customize other aspects of your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customize_the_background_of_your_instagram_story\"><\/span>Customize the background of your instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to enhance the appearance of your Instagram stories is by customizing their background. To do this, download interesting backgrounds from your computer or use one from Pinterest. You can also add stickers to your stories to make them more appealing. Here are some methods to customizing your Instagram story background:<\/p>\n<p>Using the Create tool on Instagram can help you customize the background of your stories. You can choose a background from the app library and apply filters. To do this, you must first create a draft of your Story, turn on the camera and tap on the Aa icon. You can then choose a background color from the list. You can use the same method to edit the background color of your Instagram stories.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to customize the background of your Instagram stories is by adding stickers and images. You can also upload your own photos and add stickers. You can also customize your background by choosing an image from your camera roll or overlaying it with pictures. The last method is the easiest, but it&#8217;s the least precise. To customize the background color, select a gradient. It will then be a perfect match for your photos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_music_to_your_story\"><\/span>Adding music to your story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding music to your Instagram story can be as easy as dragging and dropping your favorite tunes onto the story. Once you&#8217;ve added the track, you can customize its size and display options. To choose a specific lyric, simply scroll up or down in the timeline bar to view the lyrics. Changing the music will also update your story automatically. You can use the same technique to change the song while sharing your story on other social media outlets.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify is a great place to find music for your Instagram Stories. Spotify also has an in-app music library where you can search for and select songs from. To add music to your story, you need to select Spotify as your music service. You can also upload your songs using a video editor. Be aware that you cannot use copyrighted music from the Instagram library or Spotify. But if you want to add music for your story, Facebook has a sound collection with over 9,000 songs. There are also a few royalty-free music services you can use.<\/p>\n<p>Adding music to your Instagram story is easy and can make it even more enjoyable. Just remember to choose the best part of the song and start it when the chorus starts. You can also click on the &#8220;Play&#8221; button to preview the song, so that your audience can hear it before deciding whether or not to add the music. If you run into issues while adding music to your Instagram story, you can try reinstalling your app and trying again. The latest update for the Instagram app may fix your problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_the_background_color\"><\/span>Changing the background color<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change the background of your Instagram story, you can use the Effects Tool to change it. Instagram has a default background color that you can use, or you can change it to a different color if you want. This way, you will have more control over the appearance of your Instagram story. Besides changing the background color, you can also use stickers, mention other profiles, or even include a GIF.<\/p>\n<p>The tool to change the background color of your Instagram story is available not only for tagged stories, but also for the create tool. Simply press the Aa button at the bottom of the screen and select a tool. Once you have selected a tool, long-press the picture that you wish to change the background color of and the background color will change. Make sure you do not resize the picture or select a background color other than the default one.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the background color of your Instagram story is a great way to give your content some visual pop. Because the background color of your Instagram story is no longer a photo, you can use it to add text or images. You can also use the new background color to match the branding of your post.
