Instagram have made IGTV videos shareable to personal stories. Users will simply have to tap the airplane icon and then, ‘Add video to your story’ in order to add a preview of the IGTV video which sits as a still image. This should have a positive impact for businesses and influencers who will attract more viewers to click on the static image and watch the full IGTV video.
Now you can share your favorite IGTV videos to your story. Tap the paper airplane at the bottom of the video you want to share. When friends see your story, they can tap the preview to watch the whole video in IGTV. pic.twitter.com/oaatUoOqZY
