How to add a video to an instagram account

In the next step, depending on personal preferences, we can:

• process our film with any filter,
• change the thumbnail icon by selecting the appropriate frame,
• or just shorten using the trim option.

Such a finished movie should be provided with an appropriate description and hashtags

so that it reaches a specific target group that interests us, by entering it in the empty edit field intended for this. This option will also allow us to mark other users and assign any recording location to the material. Finally, when we are satisfied with the effect, in the upper right corner we press the "share" button and at this point the movie is posted on instagram , where other users can send us a "like" in the form of a heart, or add a comment.

It's good to know that there is also an option to share the recording from our image library on your mobile device. This allows you to upload a video recorded in the past.

Here you just need to log in to your account, just like before, press the middle button responsible for adding multimedia and select the option on the left at the bottom of the screen panel, most often illustrated with a photo or book icon.
