How to Share a Video on Instagram: A Comprehensive Guide

Instagram is a popular platform for social media users, offering a multitude of ways to engage and share videos. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of sharing a video on Instagram using both the native app and an advanced social media management tool, Circleboom Publish.

Sharing a Video via Instagram App

Instagram provides two primary methods for uploading and sharing videos:

Uploading from Your News Feed: You can do this from either the Facebook or Instagram website. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to upload a video directly from your news feed: Log in to your account on both sites and open a new tab with a “Video” button in the bottom right corner of your screen. Once the video upload window opens, look for the “Upload,” “Share,” and “Settings” options. These are typically labeled as icons or dropdowns. Follow these 3 quick steps to upload your video: Click on the Upload Button: Find and click on the “Upload” button. This will prompt you to select a video from your device. Tagging Someone (Optional): If you want to tag someone in the video, click on the “@” symbol, which is usually located near the upload button. Enter the username of the person you want to tag, and click “Tag.” Share the Video: After selecting the video, click “Share.” Your video will now appear in your news feed.

It's a straightforward, simple process that ensures your video is easily sharable on Instagram's platform.
