You can do so easily! With the new IGTV feature, you can now upload videos longer than 15 seconds and even add polls and emojis. To learn how to create an IGTV video, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGTV_allows_you_to_upload_videos_longer_than_15_seconds\"><\/span>IGTV allows you to upload videos longer than 15 seconds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>IGTV allows you to upload longer videos on Instagram stories than ever before, so you can share longer videos without interrupting your followers&#8217; feeds. It offers all the benefits of Instagram stories, but also provides more options. For example, you can add a title to your video, edit the cover photo, and add clickable links. You can even create a series to share your videos with your followers. Lastly, you can also add automated captions to your videos.<\/p>\n<p>Besides photos, you can also upload videos longer than 15 seconds in length using IGTV. These longer videos can last up to an hour and can be repeated up to two times. You can also share your videos in IGTV by downloading the app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Unlike Instagram stories, IGTV allows you to upload videos longer than 15 seconds. You can also upload videos in your profile&#8217;s IGTV section.<\/p>\n<p>While Instagram stories only allow you to upload videos up to 15 seconds long, IGTV allows you to upload videos as long as an hour on the site. Unlike Instagram stories, these videos do not disappear. The best part is that you can watch them whenever you want without worrying about their ephemeral nature. If you&#8217;re not sure whether to use Instagram for video-sharing, read on!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGTV_allows_you_to_add_polls\"><\/span>IGTV allows you to add polls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to create viral videos that will engage your audience, consider using the IGTV app. The app allows you to create videos that can be up to 60 minutes long. You can upload these videos from your computer or from your mobile device. However, you cannot edit them before sharing them. Hence, you should plan your content before you post them. Here are some tips to help you make the most of this tool.<\/p>\n<p>IGTV enables you to upload videos with captions. Uploading videos to IGTV allows you to add more captions. Adding captions helps viewers understand what you&#8217;re trying to communicate. You can also customize your cover to match the visual aesthetic of your profile or brand. You can use this feature to add polls to your Instagram stories and promote them across your channels. Using polls can enhance the experience.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram has made IGTV easier to use for marketers. You can now add polls to your Instagram stories and videos. You can also add captions and links to your videos. This means you can increase the chances of boosting your conversion rates. Once you start using IGTV, you&#8217;ll have a greater opportunity to generate new followers. Your stories can be as long or short as you&#8217;d like, so it&#8217;s a good idea to start by exploring its features.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGTV_allows_you_to_add_emojis\"><\/span>IGTV allows you to add emojis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to post long videos on Instagram, you can now do so using IGTV. This video-sharing platform allows users to upload videos of up to 4GB and includes captions, music, emojis, and special effects. The videos can be viewed on your mobile device or uploaded to the Instagram app. After uploading the video, you can add a cover photo, title, description, and link to the video.<\/p>\n<p>IGTV lets you share long videos on Instagram stories. Sharing videos on IGTV will help you gain exposure and get more views. You can also add text, stickers, and gifs to your video. Once your video has been published, you can add emojis to it and tag your followers and friends. If you want to get more viewers, you can share your video on your Instagram profile or feed.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of IGTV is the ability to post a preview video to your Instagram feed. People who are interested in your content will see a preview video containing a CTA. Once viewers tap on it, they will be taken to the full video on IGTV. While it&#8217;s still possible to share a full video on Instagram stories, it&#8217;s important to remember that it will pause after a minute, and viewers will need to tap the Keep Watching button to continue watching it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"301\" width=\"538\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mnN1dWJ0VlA\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Put Long Videos on Instagram Stories Want to upload a long video to Instagram stories?
