2. Not available in your Region

Adding music to your stories is one of the easy ways to make your videos more interesting and emotional. But, some accounts don’t have this feature.

Only some countries can enjoy this feature, the feature is yet to be launched in your country, that’s why it is not available in your country.

Instagram music grabs permission from record labels and due to this, the feature is made available only in a few countries. 

3. Limit of Music

Is your account a business account? If yes, then due to some copyright issues and policies of Instagram, music is not available for branded content and ads.

As many users use the music of others without permission, the limit of music is adjusted by Instagram for your account.
