You can screen record the video in the Instagram app. You may find that some UI elements will be visible in the video, so you can remove them with two fingers. Next, you can upload your video to your story. This is the easiest way to share a video on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reposting_a_video_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Reposting a video on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can easily reshare a video that you have posted on your Instagram account. If you have been tagged in the post, you can click on the&#8217;repost&#8217; link in the upper-right corner of the main feed. You&#8217;ll be able to choose between playing the video in your story or in your feed. If you don&#8217;t want to use this feature, you can disable it in the settings section of the Instagram app.<\/p>\n<p>Reposting a video on Instagram and play it in your story is easy, but it isn&#8217;t always straightforward. In order to do this, you must be logged in to Instagram to post a video. If you don&#8217;t have an account, you can use the&#8217;repost&#8217; button to share a video from your feed. This will take you to the post&#8217;s main page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_video_to_your_Reel\"><\/span>Adding a video to your Reel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to post a video to your Reel on the Instagram app, you must first have a Reel cover. Reels covers are displayed on the Recommended tab and cannot be viewed in the main feed. You can add multiple covers if you want, but the first one must be published before the others can be seen. Adding a video cover is as simple as clicking on the &#8220;Add from gallery&#8221; button and selecting a cover.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have a Reel, you can choose a song from the app&#8217;s music library. Next, scroll through the lyrics and select the perfect sixty seconds. A good sixty-second clip is essential in reaction videos and music memes. You can also record your own original audio and make it available to use in your videos. Regardless of the method you choose, make sure to add a title and caption.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_a_Boomerang\"><\/span>Making a Boomerang<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to showcase a short video on Instagram is to add a Boomerang effect to it. This video effect is funny and unique. If you use this feature correctly, the video will loop in your story. You can upload your video from the camera roll or upload it directly from the app. You can use an app like Boomerang to create a video and schedule it to post to your story. This tool will help you grow your followers.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in creating a looping video on Instagram is to create a separate video file with the same name. In the Export Settings panel, click &#8220;Video Effects.&#8221; If you are using a standalone video, you must set the length to a few seconds. In the Export settings, make sure to select &#8220;Video Effects&#8221;. This will enable your video effect to play in the story. You can also select a soundtrack for your looping video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_video_to_your_story\"><\/span>Adding a video to your story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to add video to your Instagram story. One of the most common ways is to use an Instagram video. This will allow you to share your product&#8217;s features with your followers. In addition to using videos, you can also use captions to convey the main points of your product. While most people don&#8217;t watch videos on Instagram with sound, you can use captions to communicate the key points.<\/p>\n<p>First, you have to decide how long your video will be. The maximum length of your video is one minute, but you can upload videos as long as 60 seconds if you&#8217;re uploading from your computer. The maximum file size for a video under a minute is 650MB; for longer videos up to 60 minutes, the maximum file size is 3.6GB. To upload a video, tap the white button with a video icon.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"303\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MBDW2pRDB3o\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Share a Video on Instagram and Play it in Your Story Want to share a video on Instagram but don&#8217;t know how to play it in your story?
