In fact, many people do it. In fact, it&#8217;s a great way to showcase your own tunes. You can even add saved audio from other reels to your Instagram story. Adding your own music to Instagram stories is a breeze when you use Spotify to stream it, or use your phone&#8217;s audio player.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spotify_is_a_great_place_to_showcase_your_own_tunes\"><\/span>Spotify is a great place to showcase your own tunes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to show off your own tunes on Instagram, Spotify is the perfect place to do it. You can upload your tunes directly to the app and share them on your story, and you can add text, stickers, and effects to your posts. Spotify also offers a link back to the Spotify app, which is handy if you want to share the song with friends who don&#8217;t use Spotify.<\/p>\n<p>In May of 2018, Spotify partnered with Instagram to enable music sharing within Stories. Now, you can use your favorite songs to promote your new music. First, open the Spotify app and search for the song you want to share. Next, click the three-point icon to the right of the track title. Once you&#8217;ve chosen your song, you&#8217;ll be prompted to share it with your followers. You can also make the link private if you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use SoundCloud to show off your own tunes. When using SoundCloud, tap the &#8220;Share&#8221; button located at the bottom right of the music player interface. Then, choose Stories from the menu, and tap &#8220;Add to Story.&#8221; Once you&#8217;ve added the song, you&#8217;ll see the SoundCloud logo in your final story. You can also add text, GIFs, and hashtags to your post.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_your_own_music_to_Instagram_stories\"><\/span>Adding your own music to Instagram stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to create a unique and engaging Instagram Story, you can add your own music to it. It&#8217;s very easy to add music to your Stories. To add your own music, simply download an app that lets you add music from your computer. If you have a Mac, you can use Meta, which is a smart music tag manager. With Meta, you can add notes and other metadata to your music files. You can also create multiple Stories over the same song.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve downloaded an app, you can use the same application to add your own music to Instagram stories. You can even use your own music from YouTube. You can easily add a five-second piece of music to your story by selecting it on the Music tab. You can adjust the length of your music clip by dragging the box in the middle of the timeline. Make sure to select an appropriate song length, as the clip may be short.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve selected a track, you can adjust its size and the lyrics, and then customize the look of your story. The song you&#8217;ve selected will automatically appear as a sticker on your story, where your viewers can tap it to listen to it. As you continue to add to your story, you can add GIFs, polls, and hashtags to make it stand out. But it&#8217;s best to start small and work your way up.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_saved_audio_from_other_reels\"><\/span>Adding saved audio from other reels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in adding saved audio from other reels to your Instagram story is to play the reel you want to use in your story. After that, you need to find the audio in your saved library. You can open the saved audio by clicking on the name of the reel, and then click on the share option in the main menu. After that, tap on &#8220;use audio&#8221; and you&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>Next, find the saved audio and tap on the bookmark icon. Using the same method as you did with video, you can add saved audio from other reels to your Instagram story. However, you should note that you cannot add custom audio to the story. You can download the reels and extract the audio. This will save the audio to your profile. If you have a music library, you can also add saved audio from other reels to your story.<\/p>\n<p>After selecting the audio, you should press the DM icon to send the clip to a friend. Now, you can share your audio with your friends via Instagram DM. Another great feature is the ability to share your video and audio page over DM. Another new feature on the app is the audio browser. You can browse through popular audio tracks, as well as songs trending on the app. By doing this, you&#8217;ll be able to find the perfect song to use in your Instagram story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add Your Own Music to Instagram Stories If you&#8217;re wondering how to add your own music to Instagram stories, you&#8217;re not alone.
