Your background is no longer the photo you took and now just becomes a blank canvas where you can add text and branding. There are many options available when it comes to changing the background of your Instagram story. Try experimenting with different colors to see which works best for your brand. You can also use the Create tool to change the color of the background.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_tool\"><\/span>Create tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two methods to change the background of your Instagram story: manually and using the Create tool. You can choose from a selection of different symbols and icons or choose a branded background. In the latter case, you will have to change the background color in your story. If you want to change the background color of a video, you can also use the Create tool. The steps for using the tool are the same as those for other types of Instagram stories.<\/p>\n<p>To begin, open the story feature in the app and click on the camera roll icon. You can resize and drag photos to change the background color. You can also choose to share multiple photos. When sharing a post, the tool will change the background color without covering any of the contents on the screen. However, you must make sure that you have permission from the user who owns the Instagram account to use the Create tool.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Complimentary_background_color\"><\/span>Complimentary background color<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want your background to stand out from the crowd, you can change the color of your Instagram story using the scribble tool. The tool has the advantage of not covering the contents of the screen and there&#8217;s no need for an eraser tool. This tool will change the background color and can alter the aesthetics of your story entirely. To change the background color, simply tap the circle icon in the lower right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>The default background color of your Instagram story is the same as the original photo you uploaded. But if you want your story to stand out, try changing it to a complimentary color. Instagram is currently testing the background color options in the story editor. However, you should keep in mind that you have to download the story before you can change the background color. Also, you need to choose a background image from your camera roll and upload it to your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reposting_a_story_with_a_new_background_color\"><\/span>Reposting a story with a new background color<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to make your Instagram story stand out, and one of them is by changing the background color.
