In this article, we&#8217;ll cover Masking, Scraping, and Adding Footage. After learning these tools, you&#8217;ll be able to create your own highlights on Instagram. Read on to learn more! We&#8217;ll also explore the process of uploading videos to Instagram. Here are some steps to follow:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Masking\"><\/span>Masking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram recently added the feature of &#8216;Highlight&#8217;, which randomly selects a photo from your feed and uses it as the cover image for the highlight. Many Instagrammers were horrified when this feature was first introduced and started creating pretty covers and matching them to the rest of their feed. Now, however, you can mask highlights on Instagram to avoid this problem! Here&#8217;s how to do it. Once you&#8217;ve learned how to mask highlights, you&#8217;ll be well on your way to achieving a professional-looking profile with more Instagram followers.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created a Highlight for your account, you can select who you want to hide it from. In most cases, you can choose to hide it from people who follow you, but you can also choose to make it private to only certain people. In this way, you can still showcase your products and make them available to your audience. Alternatively, you can link to your product using Instagram Shopping. Link stickers allow you to direct your customers to your product page. In addition to showcasing your products, you can also store company announcements and updates in the highlights.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scraping\"><\/span>Scraping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to scrape highlights on Instagram. The good news is that this process is totally legal. This method only works on active stories. Highlights on Instagram do not expire, so you can make any amount of changes to them. Simply select the text you wish to highlight, click the highlight button, and drag it over the content. You can then copy and paste it into any text editor or scraper. Here&#8217;s how to do it legally.<\/p>\n<p>To scrape highlights from Instagram, you first need to create a highlight folder. This will make it easier for you to find highlights in the future. You can also delete multiple highlight stories if you don&#8217;t want to keep them. To delete multiple highlight stories, go to the highlights folder, and uncheck all of the highlighted items. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll see a confirmation pop-up. Tap the &#8220;Delete&#8221; option to complete the process.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_footage\"><\/span>Adding footage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Instagram, you can easily add your footage to the Highlights section. However, you need to wait at least 24 hours after posting the video. Also, if you have already deleted the video, it can&#8217;t be added to your Featured section. If you have an older video that you want to add to your Highlights, there are a few things you should know. Read on to learn how to move or delete your highlights on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>To add a story to your Highlights, open your photos library and swipe up to reveal the share sheet. In the new window, you can add a title and description for your highlight and publish it. You can also add a video or audio track to the highlights. After uploading the footage to your Highlights, you can then choose a location to post your Highlights. It will automatically sync to the music.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing\"><\/span>Editing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re planning to add or delete a Highlight, you&#8217;ve probably already created it. In this guide, we&#8217;ll show you how to edit highlights in Instagram. By default, Highlights appear only on your profile. But you can also add them to your Story. Simply tap on the Story to add it to your Highlight. Once added, you can edit the highlight and change the description. Here are some tips to get started:<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to change the cover image. The highlight cover is the main icon of the Highlight, which appears within the circle when you view it on your profile. Most people create cover photos or icons for their Highlights. You can choose one from your Story within the Highlight, or upload a new one from your camera roll. Once you&#8217;ve uploaded the cover image, you need to edit the rest of the Highlight. You can also add a caption and title if you want your highlight to look more professional.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_custom_cover\"><\/span>Adding a custom cover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most overlooked aspects of your Instagram profile is the Instagram highlights. Although not as noticeable as your profile bio, these highlight posts are right in front of your followers. Whether you&#8217;re a new brand or an established one, your Highlights can make or break the first impression you want to make. By incorporating your brand assets into your Highlights, you can create a more cohesive, professional look. For example, Glossier&#8217;s Instagram highlights are all white with minimal branding.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve uploaded your highlight photo, you&#8217;ll want to create a custom cover for it. Highlight covers are typically about the size of your fingernail, so you don&#8217;t want to clutter your screen with too many photos. Luckily, there are several tools available online to help you design them. Using an editing tool, such as PicMonkey, can make the process a lot easier.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"276\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wdOD4wfXJ5w\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"493\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Make Highlights on Instagram?
