IGTV is a new app for watching long-form, vertical video from your favorite Instagram creators, like LaurDIY posting her newest project or King Bach sharing his latest comedy skit. While there’s a stand-alone IGTV app, you’ll also be able to watch from within the Instagram app so the entire community of one billion can use it from the very start.
Now, you can video chat in Instagram Direct, either with just one person or a group. Video chat gives you the experience of realtime video in a private space and helps you feel close and connected to friends when you can’t be together.
I like it, but I also don't like it. IGTV doesn't give new users the ability to gain much traction as 'instagram-celebrities' are already dominant.
Instagram has always been known for sharing pictures, and I think the presence of IGTV takes away what has made Instagram a unique social media platform.
just start and watch, you can spend some time like as watching television, only thing which is, it show contents from people I follow only and to get more content i need to follow more people and business. Am using it for more than a week now and the things i watch is what i already watched and i started swiping away thats makes me disturbing.
Instagram should be for images and short clips. Long form videos
does not make sense here. We have YouTube and Facebook for the same.
Whats next? Ability to write "text" posts on Instagram? Mark, why are
just merging features across your apps. This is different for a reason
