To do this, open the story canvas in Instagram and adjust its dimensions to a vertical box. Next, use the VEED editor to add text, music, filters, and other elements to your video. If you have a YouTube channel, you can download and upload your videos directly to the story editor. Alternatively, you can use the story editor within Instagram to edit videos and add swipe-up links to your story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Repurpose_YouTube_videos_for_Instagram\"><\/span>Repurpose YouTube videos for Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among all the social media platforms, videos are the best way to gain popularity. Many popular influencers gained their followers and fans by sharing videos. Creating videos for social media can be hectic, but smart content creators know how to repurpose their videos for various platforms. If you&#8217;ve created a video for YouTube and would like to post it on Instagram, it&#8217;s essential to follow the guidelines to make your content fit for the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Create a curated flow of content. For example, create an Instagram Guide. Include a video post from your YouTube channel, as well as other culturally relevant content. Include links to the video post in the post&#8217;s comments. Repurposed content can increase your Instagram following and fill your content calendar. And remember, the more people who share your videos, the more likely they&#8217;ll convert into sales! Whether you have a YouTube channel or not, you&#8217;ll need to create dozens of different pieces of content to succeed in Instagram marketing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_thumbnail_to_sell_your_video\"><\/span>Create a thumbnail to sell your video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A good thumbnail will not only capture viewers&#8217; attention, but also persuade them to click play. YouTube thumbnails have the same function as a book jacket or movie poster: to catch people&#8217;s attention and persuade them to click play. Whether you use text or an animated sticker, the thumbnail image must reflect the content of your video and appeal to your target audience. Here are some tips on creating an effective thumbnail.<\/p>\n<p>o Use a free tool like PicMonkey. This website offers a library of YouTube thumbnail templates that you can modify with text or graphics. You can save your designs in Hub so you can easily re-edit them. You can also use PicMonkey to create a banner for your YouTube video. Make sure you use the right size for your thumbnail and use a catchy image. Using a template helps you make your thumbnail more attractive to viewers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_background_music_to_a_video\"><\/span>Add background music to a video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to add background music to your YouTube videos and share them on Instagram, you&#8217;ll need an app that allows you to do this. Tempo is a good option, but you must pay if you want to add DRM-protected tracks to your videos. For a free alternative, add music from your own library or from a reputable source. Depending on the song you&#8217;d like to add, you may want to add some background music to your video.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to add background music to your YouTube videos to share on Instagram, you need to first trim the audio. You can add a music track with a specific title or look at popular trending tracks. Afterward, export your video to instagram and customize the volume. You can even add text or subtitles to your video. Once you&#8217;re done, share it with your followers on Instagram!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upload_a_video_to_your_Instagram_story\"><\/span>Upload a video to your Instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating your own video for Instagram isn&#8217;t difficult, but you may not be able to find original material. If you aren&#8217;t comfortable creating your own video from scratch, you can download a YouTube video to post to Instagram. However, this method is risky, so you should be careful with it. Fortunately, there are free sites that allow you to copy the YouTube URL and get an MP4 file.<\/p>\n<p>Before you can upload a YouTube video to your Instagram story, you should make sure that you have the highest quality possible. Additionally, you should also use the Link Sticker feature to share your video URL with viewers. You should have your YouTube link ready before you begin. First, open your Instagram app and log in with your usual credentials. Click on the &#8220;Home&#8221; tab and then tap on the plus icon. Once you have the plus icon, you&#8217;ll be able to select a video to upload to your Instagram story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Share YouTube Videos on Instagram One of the easiest ways to share YouTube videos on Instagram is to post them as stories.
