You can either use the &#8220;Link&#8221; sticker, use a repost service, or create a business account. Below I&#8217;ll explain each of these methods and help you post your YouTube link on your Instagram story. However, you should be careful not to copy content, as Instagram will delete your posts if you&#8217;ve copied content from YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_Link_sticker\"><\/span>Using the &#8220;Link&#8221; sticker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a YouTube link to your Instagram story is as simple as using the &#8220;Link&#8221; sticker. To add a link, simply tap the sticker icon, then choose &#8220;Share your website URL&#8221;. The URL will appear in the URL bar, and if your followers tap it, they will be redirected to that website. You can customize the link by editing the text or changing the colour to match your story.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve added a video, you can use the &#8220;Link&#8221; sticker to post it to your Instagram story. To do this, first open your YouTube account. Tap on &#8220;Chain Link&#8221; on the right side of the screen. Once you have copied the link, click &#8220;Paste&#8221; to paste it into the &#8220;Chain Link&#8221; area. You can then paste the link anywhere in the story, and publish it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_repost_service\"><\/span>Using a repost service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a couple of ways to share a Youtube video on your IG story, and one of the best is to use a free repost service. You can do it manually, but that will take time that you wouldn&#8217;t otherwise spend, so this method is the easiest way to share your video. AiSchedul, for instance, offers a service that lets you post your videos to your Instagram story in a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure to download the Repost app. It will display a preview of the video and include a share button. Then, you can save the Repost to your camera roll. To share a YouTube video to your Instagram story, you must have the public account of the original poster. Then, copy the URL from the story and paste it in the Repost app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_Swipe-Up_feature\"><\/span>Using the &#8220;Swipe-Up&#8221; feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can use the &#8220;Swipe-Up&#8221; function to add a YouTube video link to your Instagram story. This can be helpful if you are promoting a product or service that you have uploaded on YouTube. The link will appear as a sticker in your Instagram story. If you want to embed the video into your story, you must have at least 10,000 followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>To use this feature, you must be an Instagram Business profile owner. You must have at least 10,000 followers and be verified. Alternatively, you can post the YouTube link on your Instagram story with IGTV. You can also embed a landing page or registration page to your Instagram story. To get started, follow these steps. Once you have added the link to your Instagram story, you can start marketing it on your Instagram account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_a_business_account\"><\/span>Getting a business account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in getting your YouTube video posted on Instagram is ensuring that you have a business account. If you do not already have one, you can get one by following the steps described below. Using a business account will give you a few benefits, including the ability to post a link to YouTube from your Instagram story. After all, Instagram is one of the most popular social networks, and if your business uses YouTube to promote your product, you will need to have a dedicated account.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have an account, you can start posting videos on your Instagram stories. You can also put links to your YouTube channel in your bio. This can help drive traffic to your channel. However, you should remember that you can only place one link in your bio. Using an app like AiSchedul will allow you to post a YouTube link in your Instagram story. Once you have done this, you can schedule your stories and posts on Instagram with the help of your YouTube account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_enough_followers\"><\/span>Getting enough followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One-third of Instagram users use YouTube links to promote brands. However, posting a YouTube link on an Instagram story requires you to first have a business account with at least 10K followers. To check how many followers you currently have, log into your Instagram account and look at the number of people who have followed you in the past seven days. You should then see how many followers you have and the number of new ones.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to post a YouTube video link on your Instagram story, you can use an animated poll sticker. These stickers allow users to vote on which video they want to watch. You can also include text or a call-to-action for those who swipe up and click the link. If your video doesn&#8217;t have enough followers, use a link to another account or branded content to increase its visibility.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"201\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"360\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BIMiqcwIOh8\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Post YouTube Link on Instagram Story If you&#8217;re on Instagram and you&#8217;d like to share a YouTube video on your story, you have many options.
