Instagram’s IGTV Now Allows Landscape Videos

Instagram TV, or IGTV feature by Instagram, was launched in June 2018. Since then, it has been used a lot of content creators on the platform for showcasing long videos on their profiles. The main motto behind this new feature was to give competition to YouTube and allows Instagram users to access long videos. If we talk about users, Instagram has almost 1 billions users overall while IGTV boasts around 4 million users currently. And, Instagram is now trying to boost IGTV by allowing landscapes videos on it. Earlier, this popular social media platform was supporting only portrait videos.

According to Instagram, they have learned and grown a lot in their first year. And, various creators and viewers are involved behind the changes that you see now on the platform. One of the most significant changes that they delivered recently was allowing users to publish previews of their IGTV videos on their Instagram posts. It allowed viewers to explore IGTV videos directly through someone’s Instagram post. The viewers spend more time watching IGTV videos, and content creators are offering more and more original content from all around the world.

As per the suggestion of creators as well as viewers, Instagram allows landscape videos now for IGTV to render an ideal and best video watching experience. Though, it doesn’t mean at all that  Instagram has stopped supporting vertical videos. The landscape video support is an addition to it. Instagram targets to let creators express themselves perfectly through all the IGTV features that it provides until now.

You will not have to move to other apps such as YouTube to watch landscape videos as it is now possible on Instagram. This feature is destined to beneficial for the ones who make content related to dance and sports. The monetization factor is still missing for the content creators, but Instagram assures promoting business through IGTV as well. IGTV app can be easily downloaded from Android and iOS play stores and installed quickly on both Android and iOS devices. Creators are going to appreciate this feature as they get extra options for shooting a particular IGTV video. And, viewers will be happy too as they will have to no longer squint for watching a landscape video.

YouTubers who often post vlogs or related videos on their channel can cross-post their videos and connect with their Instagram audience ideally!
