Check your internet connection
If you’re having trouble playing music on your Instagram story, the first thing you should check is your internet connection. If you’re using a cellular data connection, try switching to a Wi-Fi connection and see if that fixes the problem. If you’re already using Wi-Fi, try restarting your router and see if that helps.
If neither of those things work, the next step is to make sure that the music file you’re trying to use is compatible with Instagram Stories. The file format needs to be either MP3 or M4A, and it should be no more than 30 seconds long. If the file meets those criteria and it still isn’t working, try uploading it to a different server (like Dropbox or Google Drive) and then trying to play it from there.
Still having trouble? The next step is to contact Instagram directly and ask for help.
Restart your phone
If you’re having trouble playing music on your Instagram Story, try restarting your phone. If that doesn’t work, check to see if there’s an update for the Instagram app.
Update the Instagram app
If you’re having trouble getting music to play on your Instagram story, the first thing you should do is update the app. To do this, open the App Store on your iPhone, tap the Updates tab at the bottom of the screen, and then tap Update next to Instagram in the list of pending updates. If there’s no update available, that means you’re already using the latest version of Instagram.
Check your phone’s audio settings
If you’re having trouble getting audio to play on your Instagram Story, there are a few things you can check. First, check your phone’s audio settings. Make sure the volume is turned all the way up, and that you’re not on silent mode.
If that doesn’t work, try restarting your phone. If that doesn’t work, try force quitting the Instagram app and restarting it. If none of those things work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Check your Instagram Story settings
If you’re having trouble getting music to play on your Instagram Story, there are a few things you can check.
First, make sure that you have the most recent version of the Instagram app installed. To do this, open the App Store or Google Play Store and search for “Instagram.” If there’s an update available, tap “Update” to install it.
Next, check your Story settings to make sure that music is turned on. To do this, open the Instagram app and tap your profile icon in the bottom-right corner. Then, tap “Settings” (the gear icon) and select “Story Settings.” Make sure that the “Allow Access to Music” switch is turned on.
If music is still not playing on your Instagram Story after checking these settings, try restarting your phone. If that doesn’t work, you may need to delete and re-install the Instagram app.
Try a different song
If you’re trying to add music to your Instagram Story and it’s not working, there are a few things you can try.
First, make sure you’re using the latest version of the Instagram app. Then, try a different song. If that doesn’t work, restart your phone and try again.
If you’re still having trouble, contact Instagram support.
Try a different video format
If you’re having trouble uploading a video to your Instagram story, one potential solution is to try a different video format. While Instagram Stories generally supports most video formats, some users have found that certain videos will only upload properly if they are in MP4 format. To convert your video to MP4, you can use a free online video converter like Convertfiles.com ormediaconverter.org.
Try a different app
There are a few different apps that you can use to add music to your Instagram story. If you’re having trouble with one, try another. Here are a few apps that might work better for you:
-Musically
-Story Beats
-Videoshop
-Inshot
Check for app updates
If you’re having trouble using music in your Instagram stories, the first thing you should do is check for updates. Both the Instagram app and your operating system may need to be updated in order for music to work properly. To update Instagram, open the App Store (on iOS) or Google Play Store (on Android) and check if there’s a new version of the app available. If there is, install it and then try using music in your story again.
