When we create an Instagram Reel, we have to take into account all the options that are provided to us from the application and that serve to make a much more creative and complete Reel; and we could say that one of the most used and weightiest within the application would be the music and audio within Instagram Reels. When we create a Reel, our main objective will be to reach a greater number of people and impact and attract their attention, and one of the best resources that Instagram Reels offer us to do so is to add music in the Reels we create..
Music is one of the parts of the audios within Instagram Reels, and we can find them of different types within the application. For this reason, it is worth remembering the types of audio that exist within the Instagram Reels and when we can use them or not.
original sound
It can be audio that you have created yourself by uploading a Reel or that someone else has created by creating their own Reel without using someone else's audio. In this case, in the section where the name of the audio appears, we can see the name of the user who created it, since it is original content.
Remember that if you create a Reel with your own audio, if your account is public, other people will be able to use it, but not if your account is private..
licensed audio
In this section you will find the music, and it is about those audios protected with copyright within Instagram and the library. In addition to music, we can find any audio content with rights, such as sounds from movies or television series.
In any case, this type of content can be used since Instagram creates agreements with the holders of these rights, although due to the fact that these are modified, the music you used for a Reel could be silenced. In this case, a banner would appear at the top.
Having said this, and knowing the type of audio that can be used in Reels, we are going to investigate several options related to music that you need to master in Reels: The first thing you will know is how to search for music in Reels to find a specific song among the catalog available within Instagram, to later learn how to put music on Instagram Reels.
