Seems like a bit difficult, isn\u2019t it? There\u2019s no integrated sharing option which allows you to post YouTube videos to Instagram, so you have to look for an alternative solution. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, this is what we\u2019re here for. Below you can find a guide with a couple of solutions for this, which required just a few minutes of your time. Let\u2019s see how it can be done, shall we?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking things logically, the idea is simple: in order to do this, you need to download the video from YouTube, cut it &#8211; because you\u2019re not allowed to upload videos longer than 60 seconds on Instagram &#8211; then post it. And there are actually a few days of doing this. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Yout.com<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is by far the easiest method, since it has just a few steps, not to mention that it works on both PCs and smartphones. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Post YouTube videos to Instagram using a PC<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the video you want to share and go to its URL<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the URL and remove \u201cube\u201d from it. It should look something like \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yout.com\/watch?v=asdg3gwsBBE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.yout.com\/watch?v=asdg3gwsBBE<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press enter and wait for a few moments until you are redirected to <a href=\"https:\/\/yout.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Yout<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here you will see a few options to choose from like Format, Quality, Title, and Artist, as well as a slider above all these<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12230 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/yout.jpg\" alt=\"Yout\" width=\"663\" height=\"611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/yout.jpg 663w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/yout-150x138.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/yout-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the slider to select the part of the video you want to post on Instagram. Remember, no longer than 60 seconds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change the format to MP4. The rest of the settings can be left unchanged since they won\u2019t appear on Instagram<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hit the record MP4 button and wait until your video is ready and ready to be posted<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, Instagram doesn\u2019t allow posting images or videos from a PC officially, but there\u2019s actually a way of tricking it. You can check out this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Post-Pictures-on-Instagram-from-Your-Computer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WikiHow guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and follow the instructions. It was initially tested by us, so it works 100%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simpler variant would be to email yourself the video or transfer it to Google Drive or a similar cloud storage service, then download it on your phone or tablet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Post YouTube videos to Instagram using a smartphone<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure is almost identical, the only differences being that you need to open YouTube in Chrome and not the native app. Then, after converting the video using Yout, you can upload it to Instagram directly from your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be used on both iOS and Android.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Tube2Gram<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above-presented method worked great when we tried to post YouTube videos to Instagram, but sometimes, depending on the video, the converted one might not look good or have an altered sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12231 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tubegram.jpg\" alt=\"Tube2Gram\" width=\"1032\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tubegram.jpg 1032w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tubegram-150x91.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tubegram-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tubegram-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/tubegram-1024x623.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1032px) 100vw, 1032px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re going to the same situation, you can try using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tube2gram.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tube2Gram<\/a>, a service dedicated to converting YouTube videos in an Instagram-friendly format.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Chrome and go to YouTube<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search for the video you want to post, then copy its URL<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to Tube2Gram.com<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the Instagram video format<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paste the URL of the video in the blank field<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press the Start Download button and wait until the video is converted<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re using this method on a PC, then you can post YouTube videos to Instagram using one of the methods described above. If you\u2019re on a phone, simply upload it from your Gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides these two methods, you will come across several similar ones. After all, the procedure will be the same: selecting the video from YouTube, downloading it, then posting it on Instagram. Some services can be better than others at converting the video, but sticking to one of the ones mentioned above will surely satisfy you. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap-up<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you know any other methods to post YouTube videos to Instagram?
