SoundCloud, has announced it is making it easier to share tracks to Instagram with its new Instagram Stories integration.

The new feature will enable Instagram users to share tracks from SoundCloud directly to their Instagram Story, giving creators the ability to promote their latest tracks and get fan feedback faster than ever.

The streamlined process only requires a user to tap ‘Share’ on the SoundCloud menu and selecting ‘Share to Instagram Stories.’ Users will then be able to click ‘Play on SoundCloud’ at the top of a story to go to the SoundCloud mobile app and begin listening.

The new SoundCloud + Instagram feature rolled out yesterday (October 23), and is available via the latest versions of the SoundCloud and Instagram mobile apps on iOS and Android.

Earlier this month, Soundcloud announced it is expanding its direct monetisation programme, Soundcloud Premier. The previously invite-only programme is rolling out to SoundCloud Pro and Pro Unlimited creators with eligible content, at no additional cost. 

In June, Instagram announced the launch of Music In Instagram Stories – the feature enables users to add a soundtrack to their photo or video on Instagram Stories, which is now used by more than 400 million people daily.
