If you have a business account like us, your music options are very limited due to copyright issues. But if you're running a personal account or a creator account, you have access to the full range of Instagram's music library. Adding music to your Instagram Stories is a great way to add another element of interest to a video or a picture. It's especially great if you want to cover up the original audio on your video.


Remember, Instagram loves it when you utilize all of the features it offers, and it will reward you with early releases of new features when you take advantage of everything Instagram is offering. If you haven't been adding music to your Instagram Stories, it's time to start.
