In this article, we will cover Editing your video, Creating a thumbnail, and using the Instagram swipe-up feature. We&#8217;ll also discuss using a free repost service. So, if you&#8217;ve made a YouTube video, now&#8217;s the time to share it with the world!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_YouTube_video\"><\/span>Editing a YouTube video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to upload a YouTube video to Instagram, you can use the YouTube to Instagram Converter. This online tool lets you convert any type of video into an appropriate size for the platform. You can use this tool to resize a YouTube video for Instagram and share it with friends and followers. It supports multiple video formats and device resolutions. Using this tool will also allow you to change the clip&#8217;s dimensions for use on other platforms like Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>First, import your YouTube video. Once you have imported it, go to the InVideo editor and click on the YouTube to IGTV template. You should select the 9:16 aspect ratio. Once you&#8217;ve selected the template, drag the YouTube video onto the timeline. Next, click on &#8220;Replace Video&#8221; and select the video you want to replace. Drag the video over the existing template. When finished, click &#8220;Save and Export&#8221; to upload your video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_free_repost_service\"><\/span>Using a free repost service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few ways to post a YouTube video to Instagram, and one of them is using a third-party application called Repost for Instagram. This application is available for iOS and Android users, and allows you to copy and paste the link to a video and post it to your Instagram profile. You&#8217;ll need to copy and paste the link, then switch back to your Repost app to post the video.<\/p>\n<p>There are free and paid versions of these services. You can use the free version to post a single video or photo, but if you want to make multiple reposts, you&#8217;ll need to upgrade. The paid version comes with fewer features, like ads and watermarks. But if you want unlimited reposts, this app is definitely worth the money. It will make your videos or photos visible to your followers even if they&#8217;re not subscribed to the service.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_thumbnail\"><\/span>Creating a thumbnail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When creating a thumbnail for your YouTube video, there are a few tips to keep in mind. While a simple image is fine for an introduction, it won&#8217;t convey the concept of your video. Try to incorporate text headings and numbered layouts to make your thumbnail stand out from the competition. Including these elements can help your audience keep track of the content in your video and entice them to view more.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, remember that a custom cover image is not the same as a photo, so make sure that your cover image follows the dimensions and aspect ratio of your profile picture. Your video will be more popular if your cover image is better. Be sure to add an introductory caption describing the content of your video. You can also choose to save the chosen thumbnail. The resulting image will serve as your video&#8217;s cover image.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Instagrams_swipe-up_feature\"><\/span>Using Instagram&#8217;s swipe-up feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;re probably already familiar with Instagram&#8217;s &#8220;swipe up&#8221; feature, and you&#8217;d like to use it to post YouTube videos to your Instagram account. The first thing to do is to make your YouTube video&#8217;s thumbnail recognizable. If you&#8217;re posting a video of a live event, you can include the name of the artist in the video&#8217;s thumbnail, and then use the &#8220;swipe up&#8221; feature to redirect followers to the live event.<\/p>\n<p>Another great use for this feature is for promotional purposes. Instagram users are drawn to visual content, so you should create an eye-catching image of a product that includes direct links to specific product pages. A single product image with an easily read text or GIF can be displayed as a swipe up. The link, along with a clear title, can take a user to a product page to make a purchase. Instagram Shopping also lets users purchase products without ever leaving the app.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s0GJWo85GE0\" width=\"527\" height=\"295\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Post a YouTube Video to Instagram If you are wondering how to post a YouTube video to Instagram, you&#8217;ve come to the right place!
