IGTV, short for Instagram TV, is a standalone video application by Instagram for Android and iOS smartphones.[2] It allows for longer videos compared to Instagram feeds. While IGTV is available as a stand-alone app, basic functionality is also available within the Instagram app and website.[3]
The service was launched and introduced by former Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom in a live event in San Francisco on June 20, 2018, featuring creators such as Lele Pons.[4]
Service
IGTV requires users to login with an Instagram account. Mobile devices allow uploads of up to 15 minutes in length with a file size of up to 650 MB, while desktop web browsers allow uploads of up to 60 minutes in length with a file size of up to 3.6 GB.[5] The app auto-plays videos as soon as it is launched, which Kevin Systrom contrasted to video hosts where one must first locate a video.[6][7][8]
Instagram accounts with an IGTV channel receive an IGTV tab on their profile page. Additionally, uploads on IGTV can be mirrored to a linked Facebook page.
In May 2019, IGTV gained the ability to upload landscape videos.[9]
