Let me ask you a question, do you currently post YouTube videos on Instagram? Post your
answer in the comments below, I'd love to read them and I'm sure others would too. Here
are some important things to keep in mind when you post your YouTube videos on Instagram
TV. Number one, add relevant hashtags. You can add up to 30 hashtags in your description.
Make sure they're all relevant to the content of your video. Number two, create a title,
description, and cover image that grabs the attention of your viewers. Number three, add
a clickable link in the description. This could be a link to your YouTube channel, lining
page, product or service. Keep in mind, your link is only clickable
when viewed from a desktop computer, so why not post your whole YouTube video to IGTV?
Number four, respond to comments. Make sure you engage with your viewers by responding
to comments. Number five, remove YouTube call to actions. If you'll ask people to click
the link in the card or click the links on your end screen, you might want to remove
them before you upload the video to Instagram. If you leave them in there, it won't make
any sense to your Instagram followers. How can you easily convert a YouTube video to
a square video so it looks like this? I'm glad you asked.
