Select your music from the music sticker
Once you are done with the picture or video, follow the steps to select the music from the music sticker.

- In a new dialogue box, choose the song which you want to add to the story. You can select your favourite song from the three tabs available, namely Popular, Moods and Genres, which contain songs related to the tab.
- Or, you can also use the search bar from the top to check whether your favourite song is available on Instagram Music or not and apply it to your story.
Now that you have selected the songs, you’ll have to choose the time duration for which you would like the music to play. By default, it is set at 15 seconds. Once done with this, you can also tap on the sticker to change the look and feel of the sticker. Instagram has offered many variations in this sticker which might suit various kinds of stories.

Post the story
You can post the story in your friends’ list or close friends list by selecting the appropriate option. For testing, you can check your own story with the volume turned on. If you can hear the music, the music sticker is applied to your story successfully. If not, consider trying the process again.
You can also upload an edited video containing the music of your choice, which could be easily created by applications like this in case Instagram Music isn’t available in your country.
