Your video must have the correct file extension (mp.4 is the most commonly used) and should have a H.264 codec. Your video should also be at least 1080 x 566 pixels. Then, launch your Instagram app and click on the + icon. Your video should now be published!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_dont_need_10000_followers_to_share_a_YouTube_video_on_Instagram\"><\/span>You don&#8217;t need 10,000 followers to share a YouTube video on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to share a YouTube video on Instagram but don&#8217;t have 10,000 followers, you can still do it. Instagram has recently made it possible for users of all levels to share a link from their story. Previously, only users with at least ten thousand followers could share a video from YouTube. Unfortunately, this is a cumbersome process that will leave you with less exposure. Thankfully, Instagram offers a solution to this issue. After logging into Instagram, find a YouTube video and paste the URL into your story.<\/p>\n<p>You can use animated poll stickers to share a link to your YouTube video on Instagram stories. These stickers allow users to vote for the video. Usually, these stickers also include a caption and\/or some type of text to encourage people to click the link and watch the video. If you don&#8217;t have 10,000 followers, you can also share a video teaser instead. Make sure to give your link enough context in your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_post_an_edited_video\"><\/span>You can post an edited video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two ways to post an edited YouTube video to Instagram. First, you can use Biteable to make beautiful videos. The app even comes with a free template. Second, you can export your edited YouTube video directly to Instagram. The latter option is more convenient and requires less time. However, you should also keep in mind that YouTube videos are usually large, especially when they&#8217;re resized to 1080p.<\/p>\n<p>If you are using a desktop computer, you can export your video and upload it directly to Instagram. Just make sure that the video has been compressed to fit on the platform. Once you&#8217;ve made the video, you can crop it and adjust the aspect ratio as needed. Once you&#8217;ve cropped it, you can choose to download it. You can use cloud storage services to upload your videos, or you can sync your mobile device with your desktop computer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_create_a_thumbnail\"><\/span>You can create a thumbnail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most important parts of a thumbnail is the title. Make the title as prominent as possible. Try to include a picture of the main subject and a legible headline. You can even use screenshots or pictures of people to make the thumbnails stand out more. Although apps like Photoshop are great for making thumbnails, there are many free alternatives that provide good output. Here are some tips on how to create a thumbnail for your YouTube video.<\/p>\n<p>Make the thumbnails clear and descriptive of what&#8217;s inside your YouTube video. You can use text, animated stickers, or a call to action to attract viewers. Try to avoid placing text over the face of the model. If you want your thumbnails to catch viewers&#8217; attention, use bold, contrasting colors. Moreover, try to keep your thumbnails as short as possible. These are some of the most important aspects of creating a thumbnail for your YouTube video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_can_interact_with_your_followers\"><\/span>You can interact with your followers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to share YouTube videos on Instagram is by adding a link to your story. You can simply add the URL in your bio and people can click on it to watch the video. However, if you have a large following, you can use the &#8220;Swipe Up&#8221; feature to draw attention to the link in your bio. You can also add a teaser trailer to your video and post it as a Story.<\/p>\n<p>In order to share YouTube videos on Instagram, you must have the app installed on your phone. Next, tap &#8220;Library&#8221; or &#8220;Gallery.&#8221; Once you have done this, select the YouTube video you want to share. This should open your phone&#8217;s camera roll or your computer&#8217;s downloads folder. You can then upload the video to Instagram. It&#8217;s that simple!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Share YouTube Video on Instagram If you want to know how to share YouTube video on Instagram, you must follow some important steps.
