What are VKontakte stories in the news

Hello readers! I decided to write a post about how to add music to a story in VK via a computer. After all, many users use this social network on a computer, not just on their phone.

First of all, I’ll tell you what VK stories are. This is a kind of people’s life that is shown in pictures, videos from a computer or phone. That is, people can broadcast themselves and their faces on camera and say something. For example, through VK stories you can invite people to various events.

With the help of online history, you can show your photos, talk about your adventures, travels, what you do every day. This attracts the attention of Russian-speaking Internet users and others. This way, you can become a famous person, you can gain subscribers and clients for your resources on the Internet (Screen 1).

Next, we will create a VK story and add pictures and music to it.

How to use innovation in business

1. VK rolled out this update to increase the audience that will use stories. An important indicator is the increase in engagement from this type of publication. Previously, this type of publication was not so popular among users, which greatly affected the type of advertising in stories.
2. Many people underestimate VK stories advertising - in vain. After all, the new sticker is designed to breathe more life and provide more opportunities for advertisers. Now a new audience is beginning to flood into this advertising channel, and competition, as before, is below average.

If your knowledge of targeted advertising is low, we recommend that you contact specialists. It is the specialists who will be able to choose an interesting format for stories and implement it into your marketing strategy.

How to make a VKontakte story

So, to create a story on VK, follow the steps as the instructions show. Open the VKontakte page, that is, log into your account. Next, you need to click on the “News” section with your computer mouse and click on the “+History” icon (Screen 2).

The story creation editor will open. In it you can:

• add various stickers from VK;
• your photographs;
• different text, inscriptions with different fonts;
• you can set the background for the story by clicking on the color;
• you can change the intensity and thickness of the color line;
• and other.

(Screen 3).

After you have added everything, click the “Publish” button so that the story appears in the VK news feed.

My video about how I made a VKontakte story:

Using stickers

Instagram itself has the ability to add music tracks to Stories, but the problem is that this function does not work for everyone, at least not yet. Owners of Android smartphones are the least fortunate; on the iPhone, most options become available much earlier.

Note: I will be showing the process on an Android device. If you have an Apple phone, the appearance of the application may be slightly different, but I think you will quickly figure it out. In general, the actions are almost identical.

To find out if you are the lucky owner of the desired functionality, open Instagram on your phone and proceed to create a new Story.

Now add a video or photo from the Gallery or record it now.

Then click on the icon in the form of a face with a curved corner, under which all available stickers are hidden.

In the list that opens there should be an option called Music or “Music”. Click on it, select a composition, a specific fragment of it, and add it to your publication.

After this, when viewing your Story, Instagram users will hear the selected piece of music and see a sticker with its name on the screen.

Happened? If not, try updating Instagram on your mobile device. Another way is to change the geolocation on your phone, as this feature is not available in all countries.

You can do a free subscriber analysis through the InstaHero service. You will find out why coverage is falling, who your audience is and what type of content will work better .

If these methods don't help, don't worry, there is always another way. I also don’t have the Music sticker and I have to spend a little more time and effort to put a suitable sound on the video, but new possibilities open up. Let's look at the most convenient and simple software products for adding sound to video recordings.

How to add music to a story on VK via a computer using an Android emulator

So, how to add music to a story on VK via a computer if there is no Internet on your phone? Doing this on a computer is problematic, but it is possible. I suggest you install an Android emulator program on your computer, for example, Bluestacks. Next, find the VKontakte application through it, install and log in. Please sign in to your Gmail account first to use the program's features. The VK application will work the same as on your phone.

Then, follow the instructions:

1. Create a VK history.
2. Click on the stickers in the upper right corner.
3. Select "Music".
4. Find a melody in a search engine.
5. Install it in VK history.
6. Post the story to your news feed.

A practical example is shown in the video on how to add music to a story on VK from your phone:

From a computer, this is almost impossible to do without using Android emulator programs.

How to add music to VKontakte History step by step instructions

To add your first music to stories, go to the VK mobile application and proceed to publishing stories.

After clicking on the sticker, we will be provided with a catalog of music selections. It consists of three sections: popular, new and editor's choice. We can choose from the lists provided or try our luck and use the search. Step 3 . After choosing a track, you need to determine which segment of the composition will sound in your story. To do this, move the slider left or right. Until you catch the fragment you need. We warn you that it is currently impossible to speed up or slow down the music.

Step 4 . After choosing a composition, all we have to do is place the “Music” sticker in the place we need. You can also add any stickers available to you. After selecting the location of the sticker, simply click “Publish Now”.

When your friends see your story, by clicking on the sticker with the track, they will be able to listen to it in full.

How to add a video to VK history

The VK developers did not provide a function for adding videos to history on the computer. This can be done, but only with the help of third-party resources. We will use a special code to insert video into VK history.

Go to the special page of VK developers - “vk.com/dev/execute”.

Lower the site page to the bottom, paste into the “Code” section a special video embed code - “return API.stories.getVideoUploadServer ({“add_to_news”:1})” Copy the entire code except the last quotes (“”).

Click the Run button to display the Select File button. By clicking on this button, you can upload a video from your computer to your VK history. Check the News section to see if your story has appeared.

You can watch a video on this topic, I found it for you on the Internet:

You can use not only the code presented above, but also various extensions, for example, VKHalper, with which you can post a video to your VKontakte story.
