In the universe of social networks, the Instagram phenomenon has exceeded all expectations. This platform does not stop gaining followers to the detriment of a lower growth of Facebook. The tycoon Mark Zuckerberg, after buying the company, can only be said that he was completely right after knowing the exponential development that is still taking place today.
The creation of a space in which images weigh over any other form of expression continues to have a pull worthy of study. If new services and tools have been successfully added to this, it is logical to understand that it is currently considered as the social network that can have the most influence on its audience.
Now, what is it that has made this platform one of the most sought after among the consumer? Without a doubt, the creation of the so-called Instagram Stories marked a before and after in the Facebook universe. This function, copied from SnapChat and popularized on other social networks such as Facebook itself or WhatsApp, has not been as successful.
Given the reef that it has caused for the top of the company, it has been decided to exploit to the maximum since the number of publications under this concept has skyrocketed. Now, as it has been learned thanks to Engadget, there will be a new option to continue with the uptrend. SoundClud, one of the most prominent audio platforms, has teamed up with Facebook.
It will be the Instagram subsidiary that will enjoy, at first, a new option that will allow adding music to Stories. The tool is already available, so the inclusion of a link will be the way for the user to take advantage of this new tool.
How to use SoundCloud and why the feature was added
If what you were thinking was to put the chorus of your favorite song and start dancing to upload it, the truth is that it will not work very much. Contrary to what it may seem, a background song cannot be established thanks to this cooperation. The sense of this cooperation is specially developed with the intention of promoting users’ music.
In this way, in the Stories, links to SoundCloud can be added in order that users who are growing in the world of music can spread their latest songs with greater success. Similarly, any other member of the platform will be able to take advantage of this function and show their followers their musical tastes.
The operation is very simple. You just have to go to the track that is being played on SoundCloud. As is usually the case to perform other functions, the user must click on the icon with the 3 dots for a drop-down to appear. There a new button will appear with the option ‘Share on Instagram Stories’.
As usual, the social network app will allow some flexibility when including the link, being able to play, for example, with its location on the screen . Beyond this new feature, can we get to listen to the background music directly on Instagram Stories without having to go to a third page?
A novelty focused on artists in full swing
Although any user can already enjoy this feature, this function is specially focused to achieve an improvement in the service for the professional user in the world of music. Currently, a good part of the success can come thanks to social networks for the great showcase that can be, why not take advantage of it?
As has been indicated a little above, this solution can be used by any member of the community, but its use by those groups, bands or composers who are in the most complicated stage is especially important, to publicize their own jobs and talent through any medium on the net.
This function is designed primarily for music producers
Of course, the user who is not within this profile, but who has converted his Stories into authentic daily books, will see that this new function falls a bit short. Even so, some sources suggest that we are facing a great step offered by one of the most prominent firms in the digital market.
And you, what other news would you include in the future? Would they also be related to the use of Instagram Stories? This model certainly seems to continue to work.
