YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world, and there are plenty of ways to share your videos on Instagram. There are no minimum following requirements, and you don&#8217;t need to have 10,000 followers to do this. In this article, you&#8217;ll learn how to copy and paste a YouTube link into your IG story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_is_second_largest_search_engine_in_the_world\"><\/span>YouTube is second largest search engine in the world<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although owned by Google, YouTube is the second most popular search engine in the world. According to recent statistics, 500 hours of videos are uploaded to the site every minute, and over one billion people visit it every day. Google owns YouTube, but if you take into account how many searches are made, minutes spent on the site, and the number of videos watched, YouTube is second to none. But how does it compare to Google?<\/p>\n<p>YouTube was founded by three former PayPal employees in 2005. Co-founder Steve Chen and Jawed Karim were both looking for a way to share videos from their dinner parties. They came up with the idea for the website after seeing that people had a hard time sharing videos on their social network. They also noticed that people were not able to search for deals on the site, so they went to web search engines instead.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_share_a_YouTube_video_on_Instagram\"><\/span>You can share a YouTube video on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can share a YouTube video on Instagram. If you have a video on YouTube that you want to upload to Instagram, you can do it using any of the available apps. To make your YouTube video Instagram-ready, you must edit it first. You can use any video editor to edit the video, and special services will also help you add text or effects. Free versions of these apps will put a watermark on your video, but you can also purchase a paid version that doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>If you have less than ten thousand followers on Instagram, you can ask your followers to visit your YouTube video link. This will signal your audience that you&#8217;re highly engaged and that you&#8217;re interested in building a relationship with them. If you have a smaller following, you can direct people to your YouTube video in the DMs to build a relationship with them. By following these steps, you can drive more Instagram traffic to your YouTube video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_dont_need_10000_followers_to_share_a_YouTube_video_on_your_IG_story\"><\/span>You don&#8217;t need 10,000 followers to share a YouTube video on your IG story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have more than 10,000 followers on Instagram, you can easily add a YouTube video to your story by using the &#8220;Swipe Up&#8221; feature. This feature allows your followers to view your video directly from your Instagram story. If you do not have that many followers, you can still post the YouTube link in your bio and create a teaser to promote your video on your Instagram story.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that you no longer need to have a thousand followers to share a YouTube video on your Instagram story! It&#8217;s a simple process: First, open your Instagram app, swipe left on the home tab, and tap on the &#8216;Your Story&#8217; icon. After that, select the &#8216;Stickers&#8217; option. Once you&#8217;ve entered the video link, tap on the &#8220;Done&#8221; button at the top right corner to post your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_download_a_YouTube_video\"><\/span>You can download a YouTube video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to post a video to Instagram. One is to post it as a regular post, while the other is to post it as a story. The former is easier to do, although it does require a bit more effort on your part. The process is also a little more complicated, but it is certainly not impossible. To download a YouTube video to Instagram story, follow these steps.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to find a way to download the video. The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste the video&#8217;s link into the search box on the website. If you want to use the link for a different video, you can use a third-party application or website that lets you do this for free. In either case, the URL should be copied and pasted into the search box. You can also screen record the video to download it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_use_a_free_repost_service_to_share_a_YouTube_video_on_your_IG_story\"><\/span>You can use a free repost service to share a YouTube video on your IG story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To share a YouTube video on your IG stories, you must first convert the video. This is done by using a video converting service, like ClipConverter. Once the video is downloaded, all you need to do is paste the link to the converted video and click &#8220;send.&#8221; Once the video is converted, you can edit it by adding text, comments, delimiters, and the author information.<\/p>\n<p>You can also try using a free repost service to share instagram videos. Aischedul has 4.8 stars on Trustpilot. This service can be downloaded for free but it requires you to download the videos. It is not without flaws, but it will let you repost YouTube videos to IG stories. It is recommended that you download the videos before using a free repost service, as it will save you time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add a YouTube Link to Your Instagram Story If you haven&#8217;t yet figured out how to add a YouTube video to your IG story, this article is for you!
