But did you know that you can actually change the length of the music on your Instagram story? In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process. Check out the video!
Step-By-Step Guide to Changing Music Length on Instagram Story
Follow these simple steps to change the length of the music on your Instagram story:
Step 1: Create a Story
Start by launching the Instagram app and tapping on the camera icon in the top left corner of your screen to create a story. You can either take a new photo or video, or upload one from your gallery.
Step 2: Go to the Sticker Tab
Once you’ve created or selected your content, tap on the sticker icon at the top of the screen. This will open a menu of different stickers you can add to your story.
Step 3: Select Music
From the sticker menu, select the “Music” sticker. This will take you to a screen where you can search for and select the song you want to add to your story. For the purposes of this guide, we won’t play the music to avoid any potential copyright issues.
Step 4: Adjust the Length of Your Song
After choosing a song, you’ll see a slider at the bottom of the screen indicating the duration of the song clip. You can adjust this to select the specific part of the song you want to play and to set the duration of the music clip. Instagram allows you to choose a duration between 5 and 15 seconds.
Step 5: Post Your Story
Once you’re happy with your selection, tap “Done” in the top right corner of the screen. Then, you can add any additional text or stickers, and when you’re ready, tap “Your Story” in the bottom left corner to post your story.
Remember, the music will play automatically when someone views your story. Also, the song title and artist name will appear as a sticker on your story, which viewers can tap to view the full song.
