However, there are a few ways to get your YouTube videos onto your Instagram stories without causing any copyright issues. In this article, we&#8217;ll talk about using a &#8220;Link&#8221; sticker to share your video. We&#8217;ll also cover how to repurpose YouTube videos and add background music. In the meantime, we&#8217;ll cover the most common ways to share YouTube videos on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_doesnt_allow_the_general_public_to_directly_download_videos_off_its_website_for_copyright_reasons\"><\/span>YouTube doesn&#8217;t allow the general public to directly download videos off its website for copyright reasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although YouTube does not allow the general public to download videos off its website for copyright reasons, it may eventually turn a blind eye to such activity. The reason for this is US copyright law, which prohibits making copies of content without the owner&#8217;s consent. This applies both to copies made for personal use and copies for commercial use. It is unlikely that YouTube would ever take legal action against users who choose to download videos from its website.<\/p>\n<p>To download a video from YouTube, you can download it from the app&#8217;s Library tab. To download a video, simply tap on the icon next to the video you wish to download. The download icon will turn into a checkmark. You can then watch the video offline from your library. If you don&#8217;t have an Internet connection, you can watch it later offline by pressing the &#8216;Play&#8217; button.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_Link_sticker_to_share_a_YouTube_video_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Using the &#8220;Link&#8221; sticker to share a YouTube video on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Until recently, you had to have at least 10,000 followers to use Instagram&#8217;s link feature for your stories. You can now use this feature for your story as long as it has a relevant caption and thumbnail image. Here&#8217;s how to use the link sticker to share a YouTube video on Instagram stories. Once you&#8217;ve completed the steps above, you should be able to share your YouTube video from your Instagram story.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, you&#8217;ll need to download the YouTube video that you want to share to Instagram. There are free websites and third-party apps for this purpose. Copy the YouTube video URL and paste it into the search bar to find the link. Once you have found it, press &#8216;Download&#8217; to download it. Alternatively, you can screen record the video and share it later.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Repurposing_YouTube_videos_for_Instagram\"><\/span>Repurposing YouTube videos for Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a large library of videos on YouTube, you can consider repurposing them for Instagram stories. Many Instagram users may have never seen your YouTube content before, so why not share them with your followers? To do this, simply compile a series of videos from your channel. Remember to keep the videos in context by sticking to a single theme or angle. This will increase the amount of eyeballs on your YouTube content.<\/p>\n<p>Repurposing YouTube videos for Instagram stories is simple and free! You can post a video directly to Facebook, WhatsApp, Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Once posted, your video will automatically cross-post to those social networks. Another great way to reuse your content is by editing your video in an editing app. You can use this tool to crop your videos into Reels. By cropping your videos to the right aspect ratio, your Instagram stories will appear in multiple Feeds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_background_music_to_YouTube_videos\"><\/span>Adding background music to YouTube videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding background music to YouTube videos on Instagram can be a great way to reach a larger audience. Instagram stories do not currently feature in-app music, so adding music to your videos on Instagram requires downloading a third-party app. With the help of this third-party application, you can add background music to Instagram videos without the use of any special software. You can also use the YouTube music to create a video that you can post on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use your own music. If you want to add a song that you created, go to the &#8220;My Music&#8221; section on the navigation menu, and select a track from your computer. Be sure to check the licensing conditions before you add any music. Sound effects are free from copyright protection. Use them carefully! Here are some tips for using background music on your Instagram stories. When editing your videos, be sure to select the right kind of music.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"401\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BIMiqcwIOh8\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Put YouTube Videos on Instagram Stories YouTube does not allow the general public to directly download videos off of its website for copyright reasons.
