How to Add Custom Music/Audio On Instagram Reels! (Easy 2025)
If you want to add custom music to your Instagram Reels or Stories, you can do so by editing your video before uploading it. Since Instagram only allows music from its built-in library, adding your own music requires using a third-party editing app.
Here's how you can do it:
1. *Use a Video Editing App* – Apps like CapCut or InShot allow you to add custom music to your videos before uploading them to Instagram.
2. *Import Your Video* – Open the app and load the video you want to use for your Reel or Story.
3. *Add Custom Music* – Tap on the audio option, then select "Audio Effect" or "Add Music." You can choose a song from your device, extract audio from another video, or use sound effects.
4. *Mute the Original Audio* – If your video has background noise, you can mute it and replace it with your selected music.
5. *Save the Edited Video* – Once you're satisfied with the music, export the video in high quality.
6. *Upload to Instagram* – Open Instagram, go to Reels or Stories, and select the edited video from your gallery.
This method lets you use any song or sound effect without Instagram's music restrictions.
