Most of the time, Instagram users publish a video with its background sound on Instagram. But sometimes, they prefer to use the background sound for various reasons, such as unpleasant or poor video sound quality or removing the original sound to add music or another sound. Fortunately, Instagram has provided users to publish their videos without sound. We will explain how to remove the sound of Instagram posts and stories before publishing.
Remove sound from Instagram posts
Let’s say you want to post a video on Instagram that doesn’t have a good sound or has noise. A video without sound may indeed be boring for the followers. But a video without sound is better than a video with annoying sound. For example, hearing the sound of cutting wood in a workshop will make the viewer nervous. By the way, Follow the steps below to drop sound from an Instagram post:
- Open Instagram.
- Tap on the Add icon, which is in the form of a plus.
- Select the desired videos. Then choose the type from the tab below by pressing the post.
- At the top of the screen is the loudspeaker icon. Tap on it to mute it.
- Tap the arrow at the top of the page and publish your post.
Unfortunately, you can use this method when you select more than one video to be posted. So, if you choose only one video to share, the loudspeaker icon will not appear, and you cannot mute it. To select multiple videos, press and hold the first video until multiple selections be activated.
It’s worth noting that if your video is longer than a minute, there is a workaround. Instagram allows you to display this video in several separate slides, so you should split it into several sections (at least 2).
Removing sound from Instagram stories
If you want to share the video in the story, you can mute its sound before sharing it. The method of muting stories is as follows:
- Click on the plus icon located in the Home section.
- Select the desired video.
- Tap on the Story from the tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Record your video or select it from the gallery.
- At the top of the screen, you will see the loudspeaker icon. Press it to mute the video sound.
- Tap on the arrow at the bottom of the screen and publish your story.
