Then, edit it according to the requirements set out by Instagram. After editing, you can add captions and tags. If you want to share the video on your story, you can schedule it for posting on a certain day. If you don&#8217;t want to schedule it, you can use a third-party app to upload it to Instagram.<\/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>If you are one of the millions of Instagram users who wish to repost YouTube videos to their stories, the process isn&#8217;t exactly straight forward. Not only is the link format different on Instagram, but you are not allowed to repost the same video from YouTube. Fortunately, there is a solution. VEED makes YouTube videos Instagram-ready. This free tool enables you to post your favorite YouTube videos on your Instagram stories without downloading them first.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_AiSchedul\"><\/span>Using AiSchedul<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can share YouTube videos on Instagram story using an app called AiSchedul. The app allows you to schedule your posts in advance and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Once installed, you need to connect your Instagram account with the app. Once connected, you can write captions and generate popular hashtags for your posts. Then, simply schedule your post and select the date and time that you want it to be published.<\/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>The thumbnail on a YouTube video can make or break the post, so it&#8217;s crucial that you choose a color scheme that is both attractive and effective. A yellow-green hue elicits the most visual stimulation. A bright outline of your video helps it stand out from other content and serves as a clickbait for followers. Here are some tips to help you create a compelling thumbnail.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Biteable\"><\/span>Using Biteable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to post a YouTube video on your Instagram story, you&#8217;ll need to learn how to use Biteable.
