How to Mute the Original Sound on Instagram Reels

A quick guide to delete voiceover and mute camera audio in reels.

If you like watching or making reels then you must be aware of the importance of audio or music in a reel. Basically, an Instagram Reel without sound is like a body without a soul. Background audio or voiceover along with an appropriate music track makes reels fun and entertaining to watch.

By default, Instagram adds your own original audio when you record a reel as there is no option to mute the microphone while recording. Users and creators can also search and add a song from the Instagram music library.

That said, people can freely use your original audio in their reels when you share a reel with the original audio from a public account. Of course, your audio is attributed to you when someone creates a reel using the “Use Audio” option in your reel.

Perhaps, at times you might not want random people to add your original audio or voice to their reels. Since reels don’t let you restrict the usage of your original sound, the only option left is to mute the original sound on reels. You can instead replace the real audio with a voiceover or a song from Reels audio library.

Moreover, one can remove original audio from a reel if they prefer to add popular, favorite, or saved music to a reel.

Whatever the case may be, let’s see how you can mute the sound on Instagram reels. We will also see how to turn sound on or off while watching reels.

How to turn sound on or off in Instagram reels

Are you wondering how to mute the sound while playing reels on Instagram? Well, that’s pretty easy and the way is similar to how you pause reels on Instagram.

To turn off the sound on Instagram reels, simply tap once on your smartphone screen. A speaker mute icon will now briefly appear in the middle of the screen, indicating that reels are playing in mute mode.

Note that the reel sound will remain muted for the other reels as well that you watch in a row. This happens even after you close (not force-exit) and reopen the Instagram app.

Similarly, tap once on the screen again to get the sound back on reels. An unmute or speaker icon will appear on the screen, implying that the sound is now turned on for Instagram reels.

      Same here – this post is not up to date on this issue. It’s crap UIUX and Instagram/Meta doesn’t care. They rolled out an update without properly testing it. Only some people are having this issue because they only rolled it out to certain people. Instagram’s CEO posted on Twitter about this the other day but so far – no fix.
      If you uninstall and reinstall the app you will have control of your volume again for a short period of time… oh well.

    I get annoyed that after app relaunches it forgets that i want the reels to be muted, the sounds are too dumb to deal with and i never want to hear them.
