What do you have to do to be able to share YouTube content on Instagram?
One of the most used social networks at the moment is Instagram , which has made it one of the most popular because of the functions it offers you. Without a doubt, the stories section is the most used, since it allows the photos or videos that you upload there to be deleted after 24 hours have passed and to be saved in an archive.
There are times when you are wandering around YouTube and suddenly you see a video that you really like and want to share it on your Instagram account . This is possible to do, but there are several ways in which you are going to be able to achieve it, so we are going to explain them one by one so that you know how to use them and which one is the easiest to implement.
swipe up
One tool we can use is the Instagram SwipeUp . This is the way you can enter links to stories, but this feature has been removed from the platform. This does not mean that you cannot add the links to your stories, since this function is added to the ‘Stickers’ . For you to add this kind of Stickers in the stories you must do this:
- You need to create a new story on Instagram, this is located in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
- There you are going to create any type of story that makes a little reference to the link.
- Then, you will enter the Stickers section and look for the one that will say ‘Link’and click on it (This sticker appears only if you have 10,000 followers or more)
- Now, you will place the Link of the YouTube video in the writing bar.
- Then, you will be sent to the preview to verify that the link is correct and you will be able to click on continue
- In the next section you can improve the size of the SwipeUp button, whether you want to make it bigger or smaller
- When you are satisfied with the changes you have made, you can publish it so that everyone can see your story and so that they can see the video on YouTube
Copy and paste the link
Another thing you can use to share this video in your stories is to add the link of the video as a writing in the stories. This is very easy to do and you can do it this way:
- The first thing is that you must enter the YouTube application that is on your phone and you will enter the video
- Now, you are going to search for the video you want to get the link from. There you are going to press the 3 points that are in the upper corner
- Then, you are going to click on ‘Share’ and there will be the option to ‘Copy link’
- Then, you must go to the Instagram application and click on create new story.
- There you will be able to paste the link of the video you want them to see. That way, you will be able to upload the story and those who see your stories will be able to watch the video
Download the video
Another thing you can do is download the video you liked on YouTube . This is very easy to do if you have a YouTube Premium account , as it gives you the option to download the videos from within the app. If the case is that you do not have a Premium account, you must resort to using third-party applications to download videos.
In the application store of your phone you will be able to find applications that are free and that do this job perfectly. One of them is ‘Video Downloader’, this app is totally free. It offers you a very easy use and its design is very simple, so you will be able to download any video from YouTube.
After you have the video on your device you can enter the Instagram application and start creating your story. There you will be able to place only 20 seconds of the video, so if you want to highlight a large part of this video, you will have to place it in several parts. In addition, you can add the SwipeUp Sticker to this video so that they can see the video from the YouTube page.
