Want to save Instagram story videos with music so you can watch them offline or share them later? This tutorial will walk you through the easiest methods to download Instagram videos safely and legally. Whether you’re using a smartphone or a computer, these steps will help you get the job done efficiently.
- Check the Video Permissions: Before saving any Instagram video, make sure you have permission from the original poster. Respect copyright laws and privacy. Downloading videos without permission can violate Instagram policies and legal rights.
- Use Built-in Features for Saving Stories: Instagram allows you to save stories directly to your device if the poster enables that option. Tap on the story, then look for the “Download” icon (a downward arrow) at the top right corner. Tap it to save the story with music to your gallery. Note: This works only if the user has allowed story downloads on their settings.
- Screen Recording on Mobile Devices: If you can’t download directly, try screen recording. Most smartphones have this feature built-in:
- iPhone: Swipe down from the top-right corner to access Control Center and tap the “Record Screen” button.
- Android: Swipe down to open Quick Settings and look for “Screen Record” or install a screen recording app if it’s not available.
Start the recording before playing the Instagram story with music. Once the video finishes, stop recording. Crop the video to remove any unwanted parts with a video editor app.
- Use Online Downloaders for Instagram Videos: Several websites and apps let you download Instagram videos easily:
- Copy the URL of the Instagram video or story. To do this, open Instagram, tap the three dots on the post, and select “Copy Link”.
- Visit a trusted site like SaveFrom.net, InstaDownloader.co, or similar. Paste the URL into the input box on the site.
- Follow the site’s instructions to download the video with music to your device. Choose the quality you prefer before downloading.
- Download with Browser Extensions (Advanced): For regular downloads, browser extensions like Instagram Video Downloader for Chrome can automate the process:
- Install a reputable extension from your browser’s web store.
- Navigate to the Instagram post containing the video.
- Click the extension icon to see download options and select your preferred quality.
Remember to be cautious and avoid extensions from untrusted sources.
- Save to Cloud or YouTube (Optional): If you want to keep videos for long-term access, upload them to cloud services like Google Drive or YouTube. Just ensure the video is downloaded in a format compatible with these platforms.
Always respect copyright and privacy when downloading videos from Instagram. Use downloaded content responsibly and only for personal use unless you have permission to share or republish.
