How to Add Music to InShot from Spotify

💡 Quick Answer: How to Use Spotify Music in InShot?

Since InShot does not integrate with Spotify, you have two main options:

• The Professional Way: Use a tool like AudKit Spotify Music Converter to download and convert Spotify songs into DRM-free MP3 files, then import them directly into InShot as local music.
• The Free Hack: Screen-record the Spotify song playing on your phone, then use InShot’s “Extract audio from video” feature. (Note: This reduces audio quality significantly).

Are you looking to add music to InShot from Spotify? If you try to do it directly, you’ll quickly realize it’s impossible. Because of Spotify’s strict DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection, you are prevented from using or playing its music outside of the official Spotify app—even if you have a Premium subscription.

But don’t worry. Whether you want a professional, high-quality audio import or a quick free hack, our step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to add music to InShot from Spotify.

Part 1. How to Add Music to InShot from Spotify: Best Tool

Spotify is an excellent source of songs, podcasts, and albums. By buying their Premium subscription, you can download Spotify music. But you cannot download Spotify music for free. Spotify does not let you play its music outside its application due to protected format, even Premium subscription.

Therefore, to play the Spotify music inside the InShot app, you need the help of an external tool. The tool will help you download and convert Spotify music into supported formats such as MP3. Once the music is downloaded, you can easily import it into the InShot application.

AudKit Spotify Music Converter can download and convert Spotify tracks, albums, playlists, podcasts, and more. Using AudKit SpotiLab, you can easily remove Spotify music protection and convert it to MP3, WAV, M4A, or other appropriate audio formats. AudKit is available for both Mac and Windows users. The music may be listened to on any device and can easily be imported to the InShot application.

Part 4. Free Alternative: The Screen Recording Hack

If you only need a quick 10-second meme audio and don’t want to use computer software, many content creators rely on the screen recording method. While not recommended for high-quality edits, it is a completely free workaround.

Step 1. Open the Spotify app on your phone and get your desired song ready.

Step 2. Start your phone’s built-in Screen Recorder.

Step 3. Play the Spotify song so the recorder captures the internal audio, then stop recording when finished.

Step 4. Open InShot, import your visual footage, and go to Music > Tracks.

Step 5. Select Extract audio from video and choose the screen recording you just made. InShot will pull the audio from the video and place it on your timeline.

⚠️ Drawbacks of this method: The audio will be heavily compressed. Furthermore, if you receive a notification or message while screen recording, the notification sound will be permanently embedded in your audio track. For clean, professional audio, using AudKit is the superior choice.
