How to Post You Tube Videos to Instagram

Before you upload any video to Instagram please have in mind their copyright policy. Also you are only allowed to upload from 6 -15 seconds of video.

Please follow these steps, there might be other ways to do this, but this is how I've been doing it for my work and I'm happy with the results.

1. Go to you You Tube and choose the video of your preference.

2. Copy the URL link from the video.

 3. Go to this link

 4. Where it says "Media URL to download" paste the You Tube video URL you copied in the previous step.

5. Select your Conversion format which should be MP4 to be able to open it on your mobile device.

6. After selecting MP4 you will see the conversion options. Uncheck "Start of Video and "End of Video.

7. Now you will see a timer in each section. Here you enter when do you want to start your video and when do you want it to end. This will be your clip. To do this just watch your video on You Tube multiple times and select your range. In my case I chose it to start at the 4 second mark and end at the 11 second mark (which covers the maximum of 15 seconds allowed by Instagram).

8. Now click "Continue" next to your link. Here you will see the description of your clip with all your selected option. You can leave the Detected Media as default or you can change it to your preferred mode. Now you're ready to click "Start" at the bottom.

9. Now that you downloaded your clip. Send it to your self by email (or any other way you use to transfer documents from your computer to your phone). Open the email on your mobile device, download the clip and save it to your camera roll,

10. THAT'S IT! Open your Instagram app and upload your video.
