Add music to a video

[userqAcfXqCtx8]

I'm trying to edit a video and add some music to it (from my playlist) but it won't let me. A small window will pop up that says "to use this feature, you need to allow permission in settings".

I allowed the permission to select background music and pretty much all other permissions, unfortunately didn'thelp. Updated the gallery, the video player, even Bixby - nothing solved my problem. Do you have any suggestions what I should do and how to fix this?

Hi userqAcfXqCtx8,

Navigate to Settings>Privacy>Permission Manager>Storage

Select the app in the list that you’re using to edit your video

Select Allow

If that doesn’t work, you can try to reset all app preferences by navigating to Settings>Apps

Tap the three dots and select Reset App Preferences

I hope this helps!

HI Adam and thank you for your suggestion. 

I did allow all apps that edit the video to use the storage. When this didn't work, I gave permission for all apps because I thought I'm missing something. This didn't work.

Then I thought that maybe I denied something in the beginning when I bought the phone and I reset all permission - didn't work as well. 

Thank you for your help though.

This could be a long shot but have you checked in the music player apps permission to make sure all those are also enabled?

Yes, I have and literally tried all permissions possible for everything - didn't work, however, I found the solution..finally!

I had to compare my phone to my friend's phone (which is Samsung S10 as well) but he didn't have this problem.

So...I had to go to Settings and find the app 'Sound picker' and allow permission to the Storage. It was that simple.

Thank you all for your help! 🙂
