In Instagram they continue to investigate new formulas to further develop their Instagram Stories. A format that, although stolen from Snapchat, has conquered millions of users. Many of them already used a trick to put background music to these videos that self-destruct after 24 hours. So many that Instagram has decided to include the possibility of comfortably sharing the music you want. But at the moment only reaches a few countries and only iPhone usersHowever, if you have an Android mobile, you can follow this trick to create your musical Instagram Stories right now.
The process is somewhat homemade, but very simple. It is far from what Instagram itself proposes when displaying the content menu and selecting Music, with which not only choose the section of the song, but also place a sticker with the author's information In this case, on Android, things are more basic. The good thing is that any user can do it, either with music stored in the terminal, or through services like Spotify.
- All you have to do is start Instagram Stories. Activate the camera to record a video. But don't. Stay in the stage where you activate the camera to frame what you want to record.
- Then press the start button on your mobile to jump directly to the desktop of the terminal. Without pressing back and without closing the Instagram application.
- The next step is to go to the music application you want It can be the one that comes pre-installed on your mobile if you have the song available in storage. Or other applications like Spotify if what you want is to capture the song you are listening to at that moment. The choice is yours, this trick works both ways.
- Now all that remains is to press the multitasking button, the square on Android mobiles. This allows you to display all the applications that are running in the background. Among them should be Instagram, with the camera set to record Instagram Stories.
- When jumping between applications the music keeps going. Therefore, we just have to record the content at the moment of the song that we want. Something that may require some skill and practice.
Now, several issues must be taken into account. On the one hand, if the song is played on Spotify and we are not Premium users, the task is complicated, since we will not be able to rewind or fast forward the song to the key moment Something that can be easily lost if we do not have a powerful mobile that can quickly switch between applications.
You should also know that the sound is recorded directly through the microphone of the Android terminal This implies a notable reduction in the quality of the sound of the song being played. Something more canned and distorted. And even more, the ambient sound or what we say during the Instagram Story is also collected. The best option to achieve the maximum quality in the recording is to use a low volume and avoid any extra noise that could hinder the recording.
Remember that you can use all the resources of Instagram Stories to personalize this musical story. GIFs, stickers, the time, the place... so, even if the music takes center stage, it is possible to contextualize the moment with much more detail and expressiveness. Keep this in mind to get the attention of your followers.
In short, everything you need while you wait for Instagram to finish launching the music sharing function on Android phones and in Spain soon. Something that still does not have an official release date, unfortunately for many users.
