If you're really trying to set the mood for that perfect Instagram story, it might have just become easier. Instagram launched a feature that lets users add clips of songs to their stories.
Instead of playing the songs through speaker while recording a video, users can include up to 15 seconds of a song in their video and photo on their stories.
There are few genres and moods to choose from, and a search feature for anything that is not included on the front page. Instagram says there are thousands of songs included, which is a result of Facebook signing deals with most of the major record labels.
To add music, simply tap on the stickers section in Stories and youll see a music icon. Tap it and youll be able to browse for music by title, mood, genre or even whats popular. Tap on the song and youll be able to hear a preview of the song and then choose which part of the song to include by fast forwarding or rewinding through the track. Then just add it and do all your usual stuff to your photo or video like adding GIFs, text, stickers and more.
You can also add the music first before including a photo or video. Open your Instagram camera and you will see a new Music option under the record button. Select a song and choose which part you want to include in your Stories. Then you can record a video while the song is playing in the background. You can sing along or lip sync or do anything you like in a music video. Then add whatever you want before making it Your Story.
