How to Find IGTV Videos
You can find IGTV videos on Instagram across many places.
Users could access the IGTV button on Instagram’s home screen at first.
However, Instagram discovered that few users were using that button, so they got rid of it in the first few months of 2020.Â
“As we’ve continued to work on making it simpler for people to create and discover IGTV content, we’ve learned that the majority of people are finding IGTV content through previews in Feed, the IGTV channel in Explore, creators’ profiles, and the standalone app,” a Facebook representative told TechCrunch in 2020.
The IGTV icon in the top right corner of the Instagram app’s home screen is rarely clicked.
You now have a variety of options for discovering IGTV videos. From the Explore Page, you can look through IGTV videos.
The IGTV button on the explore page will direct you to a page of videos that Instagram has selected for you.
Additionally, you can look up videos by their creators or Instagram user names.
IGTV videos can also be found in the in-feed previews.
One-minute IGTV video previews can now be posted on Instagram in the feed as of 2019. Your followers will see a one-minute preview of the IGTV videos you promote in the feed before the video pauses, and they must click the Keep Watching button to continue watching the entire video on IGTV.
The video preview will continue to appear on your Instagram page.
The IGTV icon in the top corner lets you tell the difference.

How to Upload Videos to IGTV
It is important to check Instagram’s IGTV video requirements again before you upload your IGTV video. Your videos should be a minimum of one minute, and IGTV videos can be up to 15 minutes long when uploaded from a mobile device or 60 minutes long from a desktop.
Videos must be in the MP4 file format regardless of their length.
You can upload horizontal or vertical videos, both of which must have a 9:16 aspect ratio (with an aspect ratio of 16:9).

How to Upload a Video to IGTV from a Phone
You can click the “+” symbol in the top-left corner of your account on the Instagram mobile app. Select “IGTV Video” from the pop-up menu at your screen’s bottom.
Instagram will then display the videos that were stored on your phone. You won’t be able to click on any of the videos to upload them if they don’t adhere to the requirements.
Remember that mobile phone video uploads must be between one and fifteen minutes long. You can preview the video after you click the one you want to upload; after that, click “Next.”Â
You can then select the cover photo for your video after that. You can select a still from the video or upload a unique cover image. Your Instagram feed and IGTV profile will display your cover photo.
Once you’ve selected your cover image and clicked “Next,” you’ll enter the video’s title and description, decide whether you want to include it in a series and select your sharing options.Â
If your Instagram account is linked to your Facebook page, you can make your video visible on Facebook and Post a Preview to your feed.Â
