Instagram prefers thumbnails that have a minimal amount of text, so you can increase the video&#8217;s length by adding more footage, looping it, and creating an end screen and intro. To make your video easier to watch without sound, you can also add captions. This is one of the easiest ways to make your video longer than 60 seconds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_add_music_to_Instagram_video_posts\"><\/span>How to add music to Instagram video posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding music to your videos is easy to do on Instagram, thanks to creative editing features. You can add music to videos to give them more pizzazz. However, be sure to purchase licensed music if you want to avoid violating the platform&#8217;s rules. If you do not have an appropriate license, Instagram will not let you upload your video. Alternatively, you can use apps that allow you to add music to videos.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to add music to your Instagram videos is by selecting the music icon on the sticker button in the bottom right corner. If you do not see the music icon, you can always use the search bar and type the song name in the search bar. You can use a number of different apps to search for the perfect music for your video. You can also use a VPN application to access the music feature in your country.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_add_a_longer_video_to_your_Instagram_Stories\"><\/span>How to add a longer video to your Instagram Stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to post a longer video on Instagram Stories, you might be wondering how to go about it. While the app doesn&#8217;t make it easy, it is possible to split a long video into several short clips. This way, you can have up to 10 minutes of content without being limited to a certain length. To create a longer video on Instagram, follow these simple steps.<\/p>\n<p>Adding more images to your Instagram video is a great way to add more time to your post. You can also choose a frame from the video and use that as your cover photo. You can record a longer video in Instagram by using your feed. To do this, go to your Instagram profile and tap on the camera icon. This will add another 15 seconds to the video. To add more images to your video, you can go into the timeline by tapping on the &#8220;add more images&#8221; option.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_add_a_longer_video_to_your_Instagram_feed\"><\/span>How to add a longer video to your Instagram feed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use a smartphone to upload a longer video to Instagram. If you don&#8217;t have a smartphone, you can also use a PC. Open the Instagram website on your PC and click on &#8220;Select from your computer.&#8221; Click on the &#8220;Add video&#8221; option. Now, choose the video you wish to upload and click &#8220;Submit.&#8221; You can also edit the video&#8217;s resolution or crop it to fit into a specific post&#8217;s layout.<\/p>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to add a longer video to your Instagram profile is to loop it. Simply select a video and add it multiple times until the time is right. If the video is only a few seconds long, you can cut it into a dozen or so segments. To edit a longer video, you can use an editing tool. Use the Typito app to make the process easier.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_share_a_longer_video_on_Instagram\"><\/span>How to share a longer video on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering how to share a longer video on Instagram, you&#8217;ve come to the right place. While Instagram has long been an unfriendly environment for posting videos, the latest update allows users to post longer videos up to 10 minutes long. Before you can post a longer video, however, you need to create a thumbnail for your video. You can choose to use the default thumbnail or upload your own.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to download the Instagram app to your phone. Next, sign up for an account. After that, find the video you wish to post and press the &#8220;+&#8221; button. Next, you can select a filter and write a caption, and then press &#8220;Share.&#8221; If you don&#8217;t want to post the video directly to Instagram, you can save it to your photo library. In addition, you can use the video feature to edit or crop it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"478\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5iZw6OnAGfs\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Post a Video Longer Than 60 Seconds on Instagram If you want to create a video on Instagram that lasts longer than 60 seconds, you have several options.
