What are VKontakte stories in the news

Hello readers! I decided to write a post about how to add music to a story in VK via a computer. After all, many users use this social network on a computer, not just on their phone.

First of all, I’ll tell you what VK stories are. This is a kind of people’s life that is shown in pictures, videos from a computer or phone. That is, people can broadcast themselves and their faces on camera and say something. For example, through VK stories you can invite people to various events.

With the help of online history, you can show your photos, talk about your adventures, travels, what you do every day. This attracts the attention of Russian-speaking Internet users and others. This way, you can become a famous person, you can gain subscribers and clients for your resources on the Internet (Screen 1).

Next, we will create a VK story and add pictures and music to it.
