Spotify offers integration with a number of social media apps, including Instagram, making it easy to share a song directly to an Instagram Story. Alongside Instagram, Spotify also offers integration with Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Reddit, enabling users to share their music with their friends, family, and followers. In addition, Instagram users can also share songs from its own catalog with sound.
Before starting, it is important to note that users can only add songs to Instagram Stories from the Android and iOS apps and not from the desktop. However, this will only post the cover art to the Story without any actual music. The option to post actual music with Instagram Stories lies buried within the Instagram app, and can be accessed in a few easy steps. Instagram users cannot currently share Spotify songs with sound.

To share Spotify tracks on Instagram Stories, open the Spotify mobile app, navigate to the chosen song, and open it in full-screen mode.
Now tap on the 'Share' button (three dots) at the bottom, and select 'Instagram Stories' from the pop-up menu to be redirected to the Instagram app. Now tap on the 'Share to' button in the bottom-right corner of the Instagram app, select the blue 'Share' button corresponding to 'Your Story,' and hit 'Done.' The ability to share Spotify tracks on Instagram Stories is available to both premium and free users.
Sharing Spotify tracks to Instagram Stories provides a direct link back to the Spotify app for others to find the song. Even if they don't use Spotify, they can still see what the user is listening to and find it manually in their own streaming app. However, the aforementioned method doesn't add sound to the Story. Still, this can still be done in just a few steps, as Instagram offers a wide selection of tracks in its own library.
To add music to an Instagram Story, first select the photo or video to post as a Story.
To do that, tap on the "+" sign in the top-right corner or the IG home screen and select 'Story.' Now add an existing image from the gallery or snap a photo and then either hit the sticker symbol at the top of the screen or swipe up from the bottom and tap on 'Music.' On the next screen, a plethora of options will be available to add as music tracks. The search field at the top of the screen can be used to search for a particular track. Once a song has been selected, use the slider to choose the 15-second clip that will play over the Story, and tap on 'Done' to add the song. All that's left to do now is post the Instagram Story as usual, and it will have the track playing in the background.

How to Add Music to an Instagram Story
Instagram Stories are easy to make, but they can require a lot of thought if you want to make them truly entertaining.
Thankfully, Instagram offers a number of tools to help make your stories as fun as possible.
Maybe you've got some great photos or videos and some cool filters and stickers to layer on top, but your story is still missing one important factor—music. Instagram offers a selection of tunes from its own library and your favorite music streaming services, like Spotify(Opens in a new window), SoundCloud(Opens in a new window), and Shazam. Here's everything you need to know about music and Instagram.
Add Music in Instagram
You can add music directly to your story using Instagram’s library. Tap the plus (+) icon at the top of the app, then scroll to Story on the bottom navigation bar. You can also long-press Your Story and tap Add to Your Story or swipe to the right to open your camera, then select Your Story after the photo or video is captured.
At the camera screen, snap your photo or video.
You can also swipe up to see your photo library, then select what you want to add. Apply whatever filters or special effects you want. When you're ready to add a tune to your story, tap the Sticker icon and then tap the Music sticker.
At the Music screen, browse through the different sections and genres to find a tune. You can also use the search field at the top of the screen to search for particular music by song, artist, or album. Spot a song you like? Tap the Play button to hear a short clip.
When you're ready to make a selection, tap the song you want in your story. You will have the opportunity to scroll through the song and decide what sound clip (up to 15 seconds) will play over your story. Move the slider bar until you find the section you want added.
Some songs offer multiple images from which you can choose, so tap the music thumbnail to change the image. Some even offer lyrics that appear on the screen as the music plays.
When you're happy with the image you've chosen, tap Done and the song is added to your story in the form of a sticker.
Once you've finalized your music selection, the song appears as a sticker in your story. You can choose where the sticker will be placed in your story by moving it around the screen with your finger. Change the size of the sticker by pinching or expanding two fingers. Use two fingers and twist to change the orientation of the sticker.
Don’t like the look of your sticker? Double-tap it to return to the previous screen, where you can change the appearance of the sticker. Tap Done to return to your story.
If you’ve recorded a video, you can do even more with your sticker before you post the story. Hold down on it and you’ll be able to pin the sticker to a specific person or object in the video. This means the sticker will move along with the object as it moves in the video.
When you're done tweaking the music, tap the Your Story icon to publish your story with music.
Alternatively, if you want only specific people to see it, you can either tap Close Friends to send it to a custom group of people, or tap Send To and select which users should get it.
To view your story, tap the Your Story icon. Your story appears with the music automatically playing. Tapping the song label pauses the music and brings up a window at the bottom through which you can save the music or send it to another person on Instagram. Your followers can view your story and play the music in the same way.
Add Music From the Spotify App
You can add music to your Instagram story by grabbing it from the Spotify app. With a song playing in Spotify, tap the ellipsis icon and choose the Share option. Tap Instagram and you're taken to your Instagram story, where your selected song appears with its cover art. You can add text, stickers, and other effects to your story. Tap the Your Story icon to post the story with the song you selected.
Once your story has been posted, it will serve as a link back to Spotify. Tap the Your Story icon in Instagram to view it. Anyone who views your story can tap Play on Spotify, and then Open Spotify to launch the song in the app.
Add Music From the SoundCloud App
Share a song from the SoundCloud app to your Instagram story by selecting a song and choosing Share. Select Stories to import the song and its associated image into Instagram.
Once the story has been published, it will serve as a link back to the song on SoundCloud. View the story, tap Play on SoundCloud, then select Open SoundCloud to open the song in the app.
Add Music From the Shazam App
While Shazam is primarily used to analyze and identify songs you’re already listening to, you can also get the app to play music and send it to Instagram. Open the app and allow it to recognize a song that is currently playing.
Tap the song in Shazam, then tap More and Share. Tap the Instagram option to send the song and its artwork to the Instagram app. After the story has been published, you can travel back to the Shazam app through Instagram. To do this, open the story in Instagram and tap the Open Shazam button to play the song in the app.

How to share songs with Instagram stories from Spotify, Apple Music and more • Oki Doki
We can't deny how art and music helped everyone survive in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Over the past few months, I have discovered many good songs that I have never heard before, and the same can happen to you. If you are looking for a way to easily share found songs with your friends, you should consider sharing them on Instagram Stories.
Share songs on Instagram Stories
While some consider songs and playlists to be private and not shared, others find joy in helping others find good music. If you are ready to share songs, we will explain you the way to quickly share songs on Instagram from your chosen music streaming platform. With all that said, let's start with the list.
Share songs to Instagram Stories from Spotify
Spotify is the music streaming service that has made posting songs on social media mainstream. If you're a Spotify user and wondering where to start, here's what you need to do. Turn on the song you want to share, click on the vertical three-dot icon in the top right corner, and select Share.

On the "Share" page that opens, click on Instagram.
The application will automatically generate a story with the album art of the song. Once it does all the hard work for you, click the "Your Story" button to share the song. Your followers can then click the "Play to Spotify" button to tune in to the song you just shared from the Spotify app on their phone. This is a Spotify tip that everyone should know, and you can learn more Spotify tips and tricks from our linked article.
Share songs to Instagram Stories from Apple Music
Following the example of Spotify, Apple Music recently added a feature that allows users to share songs to Instagram Stories. If you're an Apple Music user, you can access sharing settings by tapping the three-dot menu next to the song title and artist name. In the pop-up window that appears, click on the "Share song" option.
Here select "Instagram Stories" from the list of available options. Now you can add the song to your Instagram story. While Apple Music is late to the party, its implementation stands out.
When you view a story that contains an Apple Music song, you'll notice a beautiful ripple effect in the background that enhances the aesthetic. This is undoubtedly my favorite implementation from the entire group. So you can easily share your 25 most popular songs for your Instagram followers to enjoy listening to.
Share songs on Instagram Stories by TIDAL
TIDAL, the audiophile favorite music streaming service, has also received integration for sharing stories on Instagram. To get started, click on the three-dot vertical menu in the bottom right corner. When a pop-up window appears with a set of options, select Share.
Shortly after you select "Share", TIDAL will ask you to specify the target platform. As you can see below, the first option on the Share page is Instagram Stories. Click on it and wait for the app to redirect you to Instagram.
Share songs with Instagram Stories from SoundCloud
As for sharing songs from SoundCloud, this method is much easier thanks to the "Share" button right in the music player interface.
All you have to do is click on it and select Stories with the Instagram logo on it.
The rest of the process is quite simple. SoundCloud will take you to the Instagram story add page and you can click to add the song to your story. The final story has a neat blur with the SoundCloud logo and looks decent enough.
Share songs to Instagram stories by JioSaavn
JioSaavn's UI update has made it on par with leading music streaming services in terms of features. If JioSaavn is your music streaming platform of choice, here's what you need to know to share songs from the app on Instagram. First, click on the three-dot vertical menu to open the pop-up window. When the pop-up appears, click "Share".
When the share sheet opens, select Instagram Stories. In a few seconds, JioSaavn will take you to Instagram and you can share that song you miss with your friends and family.
Share songs on Instagram Stories from Wynk Music
If you use Wynk Music, you can share songs on Instagram Stories.
When you are in the player interface, click "More". After that, you will see the "Share" button as the first option. Click on it and wait for Wynk Music to navigate to the Instagram Story Download UI.
Unlike most apps on this list, Wynk Music uses Android's share sheet. As a result, you will have to take a minute to find "Instagram Stories" from the list of available apps. Once you find it, click on it to share the story. However, I'm not happy with Wynk Music's implementation. As you can see below, the developers have not added a direct option to open Wynk Music from Instagram, and all you get is an album cover with the app's logo in it. In a way, you could say that Wynk Music lied to me. I hope Wynk Music will fix this in a future update.
Share songs to Instagram stories from Shazam
Although Shazam is not technically a music streaming service, millions of people around the world use the app to identify songs. If you're too excited after finding a catchy song using Shazam, you can share it with your Instagram followers directly from Shazam.
To do this, open the Shazam page with the song, click on the three-dot vertical menu and select "Share".
On the Share page, search for "Shazam - Instagram Stories". Keep in mind that this option will have the Shazam logo, not Instagram. For reference, you can take a look at the image below. Once you find it, click on it and share the story on Instagram.
Share songs on Instagram stories by Gaana
Gaana's implementation of song sharing on Instagram is a bit complicated and unreliable. While you won't see the option to share a song to Instagram from the player interface, this option does appear when you navigate to a track from the album section. Even so, it just generates album art like Wynk Music and doesn't offer a direct option to play the song from the Gaana app.
If you're still interested, you can access the album view, click on the horizontal button with three dots, and select Share to Instagram Story. As you can see below, Gaana did not offer the ability to access the app.
Share songs to Instagram stories with Pandora
In September 2019, Pandora added the ability to share songs to its app. To use this feature, open the app and play one of your favorite songs. In the music player interface, click on the horizontal three-dot menu next to the track name and select "Share". On the post sheet, select Instagram Stories. You can check the preview of the created story in the image below.

Share songs to Instagram stories by Deezer
Deezer is another music streaming service that has the ability to share songs to Instagram Stories. You can click on the horizontal three-dot menu next to the song and choose "Share to Instagram Stories" to get started.

One of the unique aspects of Deezer's approach to Instagram stories is the fact that you can share up to 5 lines of text per story. This can be useful when you want to put extra emphasis on a particular part of a song.

Streaming services without sharing stories on Instagram
There are currently only two major streaming services that do not support posting songs to Instagram Stories. Of these two, YouTube Music will soon join the others as it has been testing the music sharing feature. However, there is no word on Amazon Music.
- Amazon Music
- YouTube Music
Share songs on Instagram
If you're in a hurry, you'll be happy to know that you can share songs using Instagram's music feature without relying on third-party apps. However, please note that your song selection is limited to the Instagram music library. To get started, choose a background for your story and click the sticker button on the top right side of the story interface. Select "Music" from the options that appear.
In the search field, find the song you want to share and select it when the results appear. You can save a track thumbnail or choose to display text.
If you are adventurous, you can combine both. For example, you can take a screenshot of the player interface (it's a bit old-fashioned, I know) and select the exact song from the Instagram library. The result looks something like the one below. The reason I prefer this method is so that viewers can hear part of the song without having to open the streaming service.

Tips to improve your Xbox 360 9 experience0005
Take care of your Xbox 360
Consoles, like all electronics, require some care. Since they are built to last for hours on end, it is important not only for their useful lifespan, but also for the health of the players, rather than staying in long periods of play. This causes the system to overheat, which can cause the hardware to console.
- Do not place the console in an enclosed space. Place it in an open, well-ventilated area;
- Do not place electronic devices on or under the console. Make sure the console and power supply are on a solid surface;
- Do not place it on anything soft (such as a bed, sofa, or rug). This can close the console's ventilation, causing it to overheat;
- Keep the console away from heat sources such as vents on televisions and electronic devices. Keep the console away from heaters and direct sunlight as well.
It's worth remembering that Microsoft Support has valuable tips on how to handle or solve common console problems.
