In this article, we&#8217;ll cover how to add a YouTube video hyperlink to your Instagram post, how to use a free repost service, and why you need at least 10K followers to swipe up the link. We&#8217;ll also cover how to avoid wasting time posting the same video over again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_hyperlink_to_a_YouTube_video\"><\/span>Adding a hyperlink to a YouTube video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can add a hyperlink to a YouTube video on your Instagram story with a couple of simple steps. First, download the video from YouTube. You can use third-party apps or free websites to download a video and then paste it into a search box. Finally, select your edited video and share it as your Story or your Close friends&#8217; story. It&#8217;s that easy! Adding a YouTube video hyperlink to your Instagram story may take some practice, but it&#8217;s well worth the effort!<\/p>\n<p>If you have a YouTube account, you can easily add a link to a YouTube video on your Instagram story. Once you&#8217;ve done this, the link will appear as a sticker that appears within the story. Adding a YouTube link to your Instagram story will allow you to reach your followers within seconds! Just make sure to give your video a caption so people can find it easily.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uploading_a_video_to_Instagram\"><\/span>Uploading a video to Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some things to keep in mind when uploading a video to Instagram story. The length of your video must be at least 2 seconds. It should also be in MP4 or MOV format. Additionally, it must have an aspect ratio of 1:1.9:1 for a square video. Lastly, it should have a resolution of 600 x 1067 pixels. You can use filters to make your video look better.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first steps in uploading a video to Instagram story is to determine the audience. The audience is important when choosing the right target. You can choose to share your video with everyone or select only close friends. To choose who should see the video, swipe left and right to select the recipients. It is a good idea to choose the audience based on the content of your video. Make sure you choose wisely!<\/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>Reposting videos to Instagram is not possible with feed posts and IGTV. So, to share YouTube videos on Instagram, you will need to download the video from YouTube first. Once you have done this, you can paste the link on your Instagram story. To paste the link, you can either copy it manually or use a free repost service. To repost a video to your Instagram story, follow these steps.<\/p>\n<p>First, you will need to download the free Repost for Instagram app. The app has a great feature that lets you write a beautiful caption for your videos. You can also add top hashtags to your posts. Then, select the video size and upload it. Afterward, your Instagram story will look just like any other post. This will increase your chances of getting more views.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Needing_10000_followers_to_swipe_up_a_YouTube_video_link_on_IG_stories\"><\/span>Needing 10,000 followers to swipe up a YouTube video link on IG stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using IGTV to promote your video can be a smart way to get more Instagram followers. This video sharing feature is available to any user, so you don&#8217;t need to have thousands to use it. However, you should make sure that your IGTV account has at least 10k followers. You should then choose the video to promote and include a call-to-action.<\/p>\n<p>Using IGTV is another option. Not only does it allow you to upload videos, but you can also add links to your content. You can even use the IGTV &#8220;poll&#8221; option to see who wants to swipe up the link. The poll stickers will let you see if your followers want to swipe up the link or not. You can also use other ways to make it possible to get more YouTube views on IG.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram&#8217;s swipe up feature is not available to everyone. However, if you&#8217;ve reached 10,000 followers and have verified your account, you can swipe up a YouTube video link on your IG stories. However, if you don&#8217;t have this number of followers, you should look into other ways to get the feature. One way is to request a Verified Badge for your account, but this option is not available to everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Share a YouTube Link on Your Instagram Story If you want to learn how to share a YouTube video on your IG story, this article will help you accomplish your goal.
