Instagram is increasingly focusing on video to compete with TikTok and Youtube. There are many ways to post a video on Instagram: on profile, story, reels, live stream. However, each form has its own time limit:
- Instagram Live: can last up to 4 hours.
- Story on Instagram: can last up to 15 seconds for 1 story.
- Video as a post: up to 60 minutes.
- Instagram Reels: up to 90 seconds.
For the limitations mentioned above, it can be seen that Live and Regular Video are not too big of a problem. On the other hand, you’ll probably want to pass the time of Story and Reels.
