How to add background music to Instagram videos

Over the years, Instagram has grown constantly and added many great features. In 2013, the service released a 15-second video sharing feature (now 60 seconds) and just a few months later, it introduced a new Stories feature. With these features, users can now share videos with still images. However, a video will be more interesting if they add background music. Unfortunately, Instagram's built-in editing tools do not allow users to add any music to the video. But, that doesn't mean we can't.

There are several methods of adding music to Instagram videos. First, you can download Instagram videos to your computer, edit and then re-upload to Instagram.
