This wikiHow teaches you how to mute a video’s sound before sharing it to your Facebook story.

Steps

  1. 1
    Open Facebook. It’s a blue icon with a white “f.” You’ll typically find it on the home screen or in the app drawer.
  2. 2
    Tap Your Story. It’s near the top of the screen, to the right of the blue paper airplane icon. This opens the Facebook camera.
  3. 3
    Tap and hold the shutter to record your video. It’s the large round button at the bottom-center area of the screen. Hold the button until you’re finished recording (or until the small red circle on the screen completes a 360-degree turn).
  4. 4
    Tap the speaker icon. It’s at the top of the screen. An “x” will appear next to the icon, and you’ll see the words “Share without sound.”
  5. 5
    Tap the white circle with an arrow inside. This brings you to the Sharing screen, where you should see a check mark next to “Your Story.”
  6. 6
    Tap the send icon. It’s the blue rectangle with a white paper airplane inside. Your new soundless video now appears in your Facebook story.
