Start Using Videos

Yeah it's hard to know where IGTV is at right now - you can do 10 minutes vs. 60 seconds with the main feed; and you can hit a "preview" button so folks can see a the thumbnail of the IGTV video in the feed but - who knows?

I'll try it today and report back here with the results.

Good job. Do you repost from other accounts?

Using both is most certainly the best scenario however for now video will see higher engagement rates but that is only for now. Things change daily on IG as soon as we all figure a way to grow and see success IG throws a wrench in the mix. Great post OP

One thing that is unclear with IGTV right now: People like me who flip a horizontal video (16:9) on its side & upload as a vertical video. The viewer just needs to tilt their phone to watch it, but this is contrary to what IG was trying to do with vertical aspect videos. I wonder if they'll try messing/supressing/shadow banning videos like this or? And then some videos start as vertical, and then spin to horizontal after the video starts. Okay let's hear about this folks!
