How do I adjust audio volume in Instagram reels when I have both music and voiceover?

At the bottom of the reel editing screen, look for an option labeled ‘Volume’ with a small speaker icon. Tap there and you’ll see separate volume controls for each audio element in your reel. You can turn down or turn up the music volume independently from your voice volume. This allows you to have background music playing softly while your voice remains clear and prominent, or adjust any combination that works for your content.
