7 Upbeat, Commercial Songs for Your Next Advertising Video on IG Stories
Selecting the right background music for videos on IG stories can really emphasize your marketing messages.
However, the native Instagram music sticker that people use to add songs to their IG stories is only available from personal Instagram accounts, and not in Instagram business accounts due to licensing and copyright concerns.
Don’t worry! You can still add background music to your next video ad or IG story that’s licensed for commercial use. Simply add a song to your video projects in Animoto before uploading them to Instagram.
