Connect a Music Streaming Service
The first step is to connect your Spotify or Apple Music account to BeReal. This allows the app to automatically detect what you are listening to and display it in your videos.
To connect a music service:
- Open the BeReal app and go to your profile
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner
- Select “Audio”
- Choose Spotify or Apple Music and log into your account
Once connected, any music you listen to while recording a BeReal will be shown in the video.
Play Music While Recording
With your music service connected, simply play a song while you are recording your BeReal video. The song information and album artwork will be displayed in the bottom corner of the video.
Make sure to pick a song that matches the vibe of your video. An upbeat pop song for a silly dancing clip or a chill lofi track for a relaxing study session.
Edit Your Video
If you forget to play music or want to change the song, you can edit your BeReal video after recording:
Download the video
- Tap the share icon on your video post
- Choose “Save video” to download it to your camera roll
Add music
You can now add music using an editing app like VN, CapCut, iMovie or whatever you prefer. Simply import your video and audio and mix them together.
Trim the length
Consider trimming down your original video to just the best parts. Most social media videos work best around 10-15 seconds long.
Add captions
Captions can make your video more engaging, especially if the audio is difficult to hear. Apps like Inshot provide tons of animated text options.
Once your BeReal video is edited with music added, you can share it to other platforms:
- Instagram Reels
- TikTok
- YouTube Shorts
- Snapchat Spotlight
- BeReal Moments
Remember to use relevant hashtags and engage with commenters.
