Audio is an important part of the video that can make the video more vivid. However, when uploading a video to Instagram, you may sometimes want to remove the audio for:
Fortunately, Instagram allows you to mute the sound when uploading a video by tweaking some settings. The following shares detailed guides on removing audio from Instagram Posts/Stories/Reels.
You can also try the recommended tool to adjust and remove sound from downloaded Instagram videos or before uploading to Instagram.
Instagram offers 3 post types for you to post videos in different settings. In the following, I'll detail the audio-removing process for the Instagram Reel, Post, and Story.
1. Tap the "+" button at the bottom of Instagram to access the Instagram POST.
2. Select a video you want to share from your storage or record a video with the Instagram built-in camera.
3. Click the music icon at the top of the video and then select "Controls".
4. Slide the volume slider to 0 to mute the audio from the video.
5. Tap "Done" and upload the video without sound to Instagram.
1. Open Instagram and swipe right to access the Instagram Story or you can directly click your profile icon on the top-left side to create your story.
2. Press the record button to record a video or select a video from your camera roll.
3. Tap the loudspeaker icon at the top of the video to mute the original audio.
4. Now you can select a share option to upload your story without sound.
1. Open your Instagram app and click the bottom "+" icon. Then switch to the "REEL" type.
2. Record a video with the Instagram built-in camera or select a recorded video you want to share. Click “Next".
3. Tap the top music icon and move the volume slider down to 0 to remove the camera audio.
4. Click "Done" to share your video without sound.
💡 Tips. The audio-less video may be boring for viewing. Therefore, you can add music to the video on Instagram.
To do this, you just need to select the video, mute the sound, and click the music icon at the top of the video. Then, you can play and select music from the library to add to the video.
Though Instagram can remove the sound when posting a video, you may encounter other issues caused by format, file size, etc. when uploading recorded videos to Instagram.
In this case, I'd like to recommend a one-stop tool - WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro. It can optimize the video and remove audio from videos for posting on Instagram without issue.
You can change the video format, trim videos, adjust the video encoder, resolution, bitrate rate, etc. settings, remove audio from videos, and more. The batch-processing feature even allows you to import multiple files for editing and export them simultaneously in one click.
Moreover, it also allows you to download videos from Instagram and remove the sound from downloaded Instagram videos.

Unfortunately, you cannot remove the sound from the Instagram video after posting it. There is no audio editing option when you tap the edit icon on the posted video. The only way is to save the video to your device and delete the video. Then, upload the video again and mute the video before posting.
Typically, you cannot mute Instagram Reels by default. However, there is a tip that can help you mute all the Instagram Reels when watching.
1. Go to the Instagram home page and open any video.
2. Tap the audio icon at the bottom-right corner of the video to mute the video.
3. Switch to the Reels tab, and you will find the Reels videos are playing without any sound.
