Instagram replaces IGTV with Instagram Video

MEDIA

Instagram erases its IGTV feature

Say goodbye to IGTV on Instagram. The social media platform got rid of its feature toward the end of 2021. Instead, it will now roll all video uploads (that aren’t Reels) into a new category called Instagram Video.

This is where it appears on the platform:

It’s the play button in the center (above).

When you tap it you’ll find all of your videos compiled there, including old IGTVs and any video previously uploaded to your grid (aka the main Instagram page).

This is what it looks like:

You’ll still find “series” listed at the top, so if you had created a series in IGTV it will appear there.

The change came just before Facebook, which owns Instagram, announced the change of its corporate name to Meta.

Instagram officials have said for a while they want to focus more on video content, as the platform continues to compete with TikTok and YouTube.

Some older videos may not be proportionally ideal with this update. I know for me, some older videos are a little cutoff.

That’s the deal with Instagram Video! There are some other features with it too, like editing and previewing tools. So be sure to check those out as you play around with the new feature.
