Depending on your needs, there are three different ways to add music to Instagram stories. Since each way contributes to a specific requirement, let’s explore all three and understand them below:
1. Using Instagram Music Sticker
Instagram music sticker is an inbuilt feature that allows you to add your own music to Instagram stories. If you’ve placed a picture or a video on your Instagram story and want to add your own music instantly, here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Open the Instagram app on your Smartphone and select the plus icon next to your profile picture from the stories section.

Step 3: After selecting the photo, find and select the music icon (second to the last) from the above options to reveal the music panel.
Step 4: Search your own music in the search bar & select the preferred music to add to your story. You can drag & move anywhere suitable & hit the white ‘>’ icon to post the story.
Remember: If you don’t see the music option, you can also swipe up and select the music sticker shown in the image below.
2. Using Instagram Add Yours Music
The Add Yours Music sticker is another way to add music to your Instagram stories. The ‘Add Yours Music’ feature allows you to create a trend where other people can use your selected music under their photos.
For example, If you use the add yours feature with a nostalgic song, you can add your childhood photo to your stories & share it with your friends so they can hit the add yours button from your stories and add their childhood photo! This is a way to start new and exciting Instagram trends daily. Here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Open Instagram and add your preferred photo to stories.
Step 2: Swipe up to reveal the stickers option and select the Add Yours Music sticker.
Step 3: Click the ‘+’ icon to open the music panel.
Step 4: Search and select the music you want.
Step 5: Adjust the music duration & hit done.
Step 6: pinch and drag the Add Yours Music sticker accordingly and hit the white ‘>’ icon to add it to your story.
3. Using Spotify to Add Your Music
Using third-party apps to add your own music to Instagram is another option, especially when you’re listening to music on Spotify, for example, and want to share it on your Instagram story. In that case, here’s how you can do it:
Step 1: Open Spotify & start playing the music you want to share on your Instagram story.
Step 2: Now find & hit the share icon below the play button to reveal the share options.
Step 3: Select the Instagram Stories option. This way, Spotify will create a share card that you can use to share on your Instagram.
Step 4: After redirecting to Instagram, check if you like the position of your music card. If not, pinch and drag to change the size and location of the card
Step 5: Hit the white ‘>’ icon to post it.
