The first solution mentioned above is highly recommended if you are shooting an instant video as an Instagram story. But what if your video was filmed a while ago? Don't worry. To add Spotify songs as background music to previous videos or photos, simply use a third-party app like InShot Video Editor, available on iOS and Android OS.
