Instagram decided to restructure its video catalogue after last week’s 6-hour downtime. It merged the IGTV and Feeds (regular video posts) video options together and gave it a new name, Instagram Video. It will also have a tab feature on profile pages.
Instagram made this announcement in a blog post saying “Creators can continue to cross-post their videos through Stories and share via direct message… Video previews in feed will now be 60 seconds long unless the video is eligible for ads — in which case, the preview will still be 15 seconds.”
The Reels feature will remain a stand-alone one and won’t appear on Instagram Video.
