In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of sharing Facebook posts on Instagram IGTV. By leveraging the integration between these two platforms, you can easily cross-promote your content and reach a wider audience.

Prerequisites:

  • You should have a Facebook account and be logged in.
  • You should also have an Instagram account linked to your Facebook account.

Let's get started!

Step 1: Select a Facebook Post to Share

Go to your Facebook profile or page and find the post that you want to share on IGTV. It can be a video, image, or even a text-based post.

Step 2: Click on the Options Menu

Once you have located the post, click on the options menu (represented by three dots) located at the top right corner of the post. This will open a drop-down menu with various actions you can perform.

Step 3: Choose "Share to IGTV"

From the drop-down menu, select the "Share to IGTV" option. This will redirect you to the Instagram app.

Step 4: Edit the Cover Image (Optional)

On the "Create IGTV" screen in Instagram, you have the option to edit the cover image of your video. You can choose a frame from the video itself or upload a custom image. This step is optional, but customizing the cover image can help attract more viewers.

Step 5: Add a Title and Description

In the "Title" field, enter a catchy title for your IGTV video. This will be displayed above the video in the IGTV feed. Additionally, provide a relevant description for your video in the "Description" field. This will provide more context to your viewers and make your content more discoverable.

Step 6: Share the Video

Once you have customized the cover image, title, and description, click on the "Post" button to share the video on your Instagram IGTV channel. Depending on your internet connection speed and the size of the video, this process may take a few moments.

Step 7: Promote the Shared Video

After successfully posting the video on IGTV, you can further promote it to increase its reach. Here are a few recommended strategies:

  • Share the IGTV video link on your other social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, or your blog.
  • Consider adding relevant hashtags to your IGTV video description to improve discoverability.
  • Encourage your followers to share the video with their network to increase organic reach.
  • Collaborate with influencers or cross-promote the video with other content creators in your niche.
