How to hide music sticker on instagram story?

I’m trying to share a specific song on my latest post, but the visual element is clashing with my overall aesthetic. Does anyone know the most effective way regarding how to hide music sticker on instagram story while still keeping the audio active for viewers? I’ve seen some creators manage to drag the element completely off the edge of the display area, while others seem to shrink it down until it is virtually invisible to the naked eye. I want to make sure the track still plays automatically when people swipe through my slides, but I don't want the lyrics or the album art overlaying my photography. If there is a new update or a specific gesture I should be using to tuck it away behind another sticker or off-screen, please let me know.

To hide the music sticker on an Instagram story, add your song using the Music sticker, then pinch it with two fingers to shrink it very small.

You can’t completely “hide” the music sticker on an Instagram Story if you’re using it normally, but a simple workaround is to drag the sticker off-screen or shrink it down and place it somewhere it’s barely visible (like a corner or blend it into the background). The music will still play, just without the sticker being noticeable. I’ve used this when I only wanted the song without cluttering the story.
