Your Feed videos are limited to 60 seconds. If you want to post a longer video, you should upload it to IGTV. Unlike your Feed videos, IGTV videos can be longer than 60 seconds and contain a title. This way, people will see it and be more likely to click through to watch it. It is important to have a compelling title for your videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGTV_allows_you_to_upload_longer_videos\"><\/span>IGTV allows you to upload longer videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to upload longer videos to IGTV, you can create a series. In the series, you can add other videos to the series and add them to the feed. After the series is created, you can also choose to share the video to your Facebook page. The process is very simple and you can create up to 100 episodes. In the first episode, you can upload your video and add a title and description.<\/p>\n<p>To upload a video on IGTV, you must meet certain requirements. For example, it should be between 15 seconds and 10 minutes long. But, larger and verified accounts can upload videos up to 60 minutes. The video must be in MP4 format. If it is longer than 10 minutes, it can be uploaded as a series. IGTV has several other features that help you create a series. Here are a few of them:<\/p>\n<p>You can also create a Q&amp;A video with your audience. During the Q&amp;A, you can answer questions on health, fitness, or a specific medical system. You can also answer questions on business strategies, sharing software recommendations, and more. You can also host a Q&amp;A session on IGTV by promoting it on Instagram and pooling the questions from the audience. This way, you can answer the questions they have and help your audience in a more interactive way.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feed_videos_are_limited_to_60_seconds\"><\/span>Feed videos are limited to 60 seconds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram recently increased its video length limit for users to 60 seconds. The platform had previously limited videos to 15 seconds. The new limit is meant to increase viewership metrics. Instagram users are already spending more time watching videos. In the last six months, the average user has logged more than 40 minutes watching videos. While the new limit is still quite short, the changes make Instagram a better place to share your content.<\/p>\n<p>In order to post more than one video, the Instagram app limits videos to 60 seconds. To avoid this, you can string several videos together. To do this, go to Library and select the first video you want to post. Then click the &#8220;Next&#8221; button. If you want to make multiple videos, you can simply tap the &#8220;plus&#8221; icon. In the same way, you can add subtitles or an intro.<\/p>\n<p>There are some things you should know about Instagram video length. Feed videos can be as short as three seconds, but should be no longer than one minute. This is due to Instagram&#8217;s limit on the number of characters allowed on a video. You can, however, add a subtitle for the video to increase its visibility. Similarly, you can split the video into several shorter videos. You can also divide the video into sections that last up to one minute.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGTV_lets_you_add_a_title_to_your_video\"><\/span>IGTV lets you add a title to your video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before uploading your IGTV video, make sure it meets the following requirements: It must have a title and a description. These two elements must be between 75 and 2200 characters long. These constraints apply to both web and IGTV video uploads. The title should be relevant to the content, and the description should be a few sentences long. Besides, IGTV allows you to add a caption to your video.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve uploaded your IGTV video, you can edit its title and description. If you upload it in full-screen mode, the title will appear in the left corner. Alternatively, you can click on the drop-down arrow next to the title to see the full description of your video. This will automatically update your video&#8217;s Title. Once you&#8217;re done editing the title and description, you can choose to delete or cancel the video.<\/p>\n<p>To boost your engagement, it is also important to cross-promote your video across Instagram and IGTV. Feature your IGTV video on your feed, stories, and emails to attract more viewers. It&#8217;s also important to use relevant hashtags. Including relevant hashtags in your video will help your video appear in the relevant hashtag page of Instagram. After all, hashtags are an essential part of IGTV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Long Can Videos Be on Instagram?
