How to Post or Send a Video without Sound (Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp…)

One of the great things about video is that it shows visuals while also delivering accompanying audio.

Today, it’s easy to record a video and share it on social media or send it through messaging apps. But, you may sometimes want to send a video without sound, for privacy, to remove background noise, or to avoid copyright issues. So, can we remove the audio from a video before posting it? How can we do it effectively? Don't worry. This article will provide the answer.

Yes. The first thing we need to make clear is that we can send or post a video without sound. Many apps allow you to mute the sound before sharing the video, including Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp. Here are the steps to share a video without sound on each platform separately.

• Tap the + sign at the bottom of your screen and switch to REEL.

• Tap Next and share.

• Open your Instagram app.
• Tap the + sign at the bottom of your screen.
• Select a video you want to share from your storage or tap the Recording button to record a video. Then tap the → sign.
• Tap the Music icon at the top of the screen.
• Tap Controls and reduce the volume to 0. Then tap Done.
• Tap the → sign and share.

• Open the TikTok app and tap the + sign at the bottom of your screen.
• Select a duration and record a video or upload one from your device. Then tap OK.

• In the Edit window, tap the speaker icon next to the clip to remove the sound.
• Tap Save and post the video on TikTok without audio.

• Open your WhatsApp and enter a chat.
• Tap the paperclip icon and select Camera to record a video or upload a video from Gallery.
• Tap the speaker icon on the left-hand side to mute the video.
• Tap the Send button at the bottom right corner to send the video without sound.

Yet, there isn’t a built-in way to post a video on Facebook or Twitter without sound. You must rely on a third-party video editor to remove the sound from the video before sharing. Read for more details in the next part.

WonderFox Free HD Video Converter Factory is a feature-rich PC tool that comes in handy when built-in mute options aren’t available. Its video editor provides all the necessary tools to optimize your videos, including removing audio from them. It offers two ways to do this: one is to disable the audio track, which is good for removing sound from a single video, and the other is to reduce the volume of all videos imported into the program to 0. Either way is free and very simple. You can now remove audio from your video before posting it by following the steps below.
