Earlier, when you wanted to upload a long video on Instagram, you had to divide the video into 10 one-minute videos, and users had to swipe left to watch the rest of the video. Now thanks to IGTV (Instagram TV), your followers can watch videos non-stop. Depending upon the number of followers you have on Instagram, the duration of these videos can be up to 10 or 60 minutes. As we all know, these videos are normally edited on a PC. Therefore it is more convenient to upload the IGTV via desktop, rather than transferring the video to a cellphone and publish it on the Instagram app. In this article, we are gonna show you how you can upload IGTV on the desktop for free. Then stay tuned!
