How to share IGTV Preview in Stories - New Update
Hey everyone. Instagram's latest update on IGTV, now lets you share an IGTV video inside of the Instagram story. So this way you can promote your IGTV video right inside of your story, just in case people can't find it on IGTV or you're not getting the views that you're looking for. Let me show you how to do it in this video.
So first on your Instagram, go ahead and tap the IGTV icon on the top right? That's the icon that looks like a TV there, or you could use that standard alone app. Go ahead and press that and you can search here by the videos that are recommended for you, but I'll just go to the popular tab here, and then you could kind of scroll, I'll find a video that you're looking for.
This could also be your own video. So if you have an IGTV channel, For example, I have one here. I could go there and use one of my videos. This is one of my videos and I could share it with my story. So let me go back here. I'll just share this popular one here. Let me just click this one and I'm going to click in the middle of the page here.
So this bottom part goes away. So I could see on the bottom, the number of views, comments, and so on and if you see the airplane icon, go ahead and press that airplane icon to share it and once you do press it, the very first option should be to add a video to your story. So you could always send it to other people here in messages, but I'm going to go ahead and add it to my story, press that and this is what it looks like. This is the preview of your story. So as always, you could go ahead and use your two fingers here to resize the story. You could go ahead and add stickers or anything else you want here. So I'll just go ahead and add one of these here and you could go ahead and add a call to action.
So you could go ahead and use texts and you could put that anywhere on your story here. Let me just go ahead and change the color. So that's how you do that and once it's done, you could just go ahead and press the plus sign, share your story and that's it. Now, it's going to be on my story. So if I go back to my profile here, and if I click my story, you could see that it's been added to my story here and if you tap on it, it's going to say watch IGTV video. So if I press it, it's going to launch IGTV I show me the full video. So this is just a quick preview of the story. Again, if I go here and if I tap on it, if I don't tap on it, it's just going to preview this still image. But if I tap on it, he's going to say watch IGTV video.
So it's important to leave. Let me go to the one I just posted here. So it's important to say, check out this video or some sort of call to action or tap to watch more. So people know to click it and watch the whole story on IGTV so this is a cross-promotion. Between IGTV and Instagram story. So if you're getting users and followers on the Instagram story, check out your video, go ahead and add stuff to IGTV has promoted that way.
IGTV will eventually take off and it will be just as big a story. In my opinion here. I hope you found this useful. Please give it a like, and subscribe to this channel for daily social media videos and tech videos just like this one, and I'll see you next time. Thanks for watching.
