You can add music to any sort of Facebook story, whether it's a video or photo.

Regardless of what music you add, the process looks about the same as adding any other sort of feature to your story, like stickers or text.

It's important to note that this can only be done on the mobile app, however. Even though you can view stories on the desktop website, you can't post them there.

Here's how to add music to your Facebook story, using the mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.

How to add music to a Facebook story

There are two types of Facebook story posts that can use music. 

The first is a Music post, which exclusively features the music you choose, its lyrics or cover art, and stickers.

The second is a normal post, which features a photo or video of yours, with music simply playing in the background.

Here's how to make both.

To create a Music post

1. Open the Facebook app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device and tap "Create a Story" or "Add to Story" at the top of the newsfeed.

2. Tap "Music" at the top to start a blank post with music. You can also choose a photo or video from your camera roll and then add music later.

3. This will immediately open music options, with popular songs listed first. You can select music from a category, or begin searching for a song using the search bar at the top.

4. Tap on a song to choose it.
