Add music to Reels and TikTok posts

You can add music to a TikTok post or an Instagram Reel before you schedule it. Sequence shows what’s trending, lets you play a preview, and sends the track you choose with the post.

On a video post, two sliders appear. Music volume sets how loud the track plays and Original sound sets how loud your video’s own audio plays under it. Both start at 50%.

On a photo or carousel post the track has no volume controls, and it replaces the music TikTok would otherwise add. To let TikTok choose instead, remove the track and turn on Auto-add music.

Use Music volume and Video sound to balance the track against the Reel’s own audio. Both start at 100%.

Instagram only shares its business music library with apps like Sequence, so popular chart songs aren’t in it. To use one of those, add it in the Instagram app.

Select Change to pick a different track, or the × to remove it. Your volume settings stay when you change tracks.

When an account can’t use the track you picked, Fix before publishing shows a message and scheduling waits, so a post never goes out without the music you chose.

Remove the track to publish to that account. For Instagram, you can instead use Switch to Facebook on the account in Channels. For TikTok, you can instead reconnect the account to move it to the Business connection.

If a track is withdrawn after you schedule, the post fails with Instagram music not available or TikTok music not available. Choose another track and try again.
