  3. For business promotions, you can use designing software like Canva to create a post. Canva has a wide range of templates that is specifically made available for Instagram Posts, Stories, etc. So I’d recommend Canva.
  4. To attract more audiences, decorate the template with your brand and maybe a slogan or message. Later, on the upper-left screen, add a text like Tap here to watch the video, we call it as a call-to-action Save the image.
  5. Now, you’ll have to use that photo to make 15 seconds static clip. Go for any video editing software, and do it.

  2. Tap on the IGTV icon near the Direct Message.
  3. Select Upload Video.
  4. Find the Video Clip that you created in Step 2 and tap Next.
  5. Fill the Title section with a short sentence like, CLICK HERE TO OPEN, you can add Down Arrow to decoration purpose.
  6. Then Paste the YouTube Video link or any link in the Description.
  7. Tap Post on the top-right corner.
  8. Check the IGTV Video, from your profile.

Step 4: Put the IGTV as an Instagram Story

  1. From the Instagram App, tap on Your Story option on the upper-left screen of the Instagram feed.
  2. You can add a photo or image representing your business followed by Swipe Up to Watch Video or Visit the Link, then tap on the Link option between the Emoji and Sticker icons.
