How to add up to 20 songs in a single Instagram Reel

Instagram Reels

Meta-owned popular social media platform Instagram has introduced new multi-audio track support for Instagram Reels. This feature allows users to add up to 20 audio tracks in a single short video. The announcement was made by Instagram’s head Adam Mosseri via a post on the social media website. Furthermore, the feature allows you to align items such as text, stickers, and clips based on your requirements.

Mosseri further added, “With the flexibility to pair the right tracks with the right clips at the right time, one can express their creativity the way that feels right for them and their audience.” By adding multiple tracks, Instagram users can create their unique audio mixes. These mixes can additionally be saved and reused by the user’s followers, encouraging a more interactive and creative community.

Earlier, Instagram users were allowed to use only one song for their Reels. However, with the new Audio Tracks Feature, the creators can now add up to 20 audio tracks in a single reel. To use this feature, make sure to update the Instagram app. Then follow these steps.

Step 1: Open the Instagram app and tap the ‘+’ icon at the bottom of the screen.

Step 2: Select Reel and then select the ‘Add to Mix’ option while creating a Reel.

Step 3: Once you select any media file and ‘Add an audio,’ the app will allow you to add another audio.

This option will further enable users to add up to 20 audio tracks and provide them with the ability to trim/edit the audio and use it as needed. Currently, this feature is rolled out in a phased manner in the Indian and global markets. Therefore, it may take a few days for you to access the multi-audio feature.
