How can you repost videos on instagram

4 Ways to Reshare Content From Other Users

Instagram is undoubtedly one of the most powerful social media platforms to increase brand reach and drive new business — but it can be time-consuming and expensive to consistently create the type of high-quality content you need to see long-term results.

Which is why reposting on Instagram is a powerful option for brands.

But, unlike other social platforms, Instagram doesn't offer a native tool to repost. Fortunately, we've got you covered. Here, we'll show you four different free ways to repost on Instagram in a few simple steps. Let's dive in. (Interested in why brands should repost on Instagram? Skip ahead to that section.)

(Note: While these reposting apps are all free, some require you to download the app from the iOS App Store or Google Play.)

How to Repost on Instagram Using a Screenshot

Take a screenshot of the Instagram post you want to use.
Tap the new post button located on the top right corner, select post.
Resize the photo in the app.
Edit and add filters of your choice.
Add a citation.
Add a caption.
Click share on the top right corner.

To repost someone else's Instagram post, it’s best to obtain permission first to ensure you are not infringing on someone else’s copyright or license.

Additionally, giving the creator credit for their work is recommended. Once permissions are squared away, repost using one of the methods below.

The screenshot method doesn't require other websites to repost on Instagram. It's worth nothing that this method only works for reposting photos, not videos.

Here's how to do it.

1. Find a photo on Instagram you'd like to repost, and take a screenshot with your phone.

For iOS: Press down on the home and lock buttons simultaneously until your screen flashes.
For Android: Press down on the sleep/wake and volume down buttons simultaneously until your screen flashes.

2. Tap the new post button.

Once you've got your screenshot, return to your Instagram account. Tap the "new post button" in the top right of your Instagram screen (the plus sign inside a square).

Then select "Post" (other options include "Story" "Reels" or "Live").

3. Resize the photo in the app.

Keep in mind that your phone will take a screenshot of everything on your screen, not just the photo you want to repost. So, be prepared to crop the sides of the screenshot to capture just the image you want to share with your followers.

After you've cropped or resized the photo to your liking (by pinching the image and then widening your fingers apart), click "Next" in the top-right of your screen.

4. Edit and add filters of your choice.

Edit and filter the post like you would any other Instagram post.

5. Add a citation.

The repost won't include a citation, so we suggest adding one by typing "@ + [username]" to credit the original poster with the photo you're reposting.

6. Add a caption.

At the top you'll see a preview of your post along with space for a caption. You can choose to tag people or organizations, and add a location.

7. Click share.

Once you've finished customizing the post with the options above, click share at the top right corner. The post will be live.

Here's how the finished product looks:

Instagram Reposting Apps

In addition to using the screenshot method, you can also use a third-party app. The options below are our favorite apps for reposting on Instagram.

Reposta

1. Download Reposta.

Here, you'll choose a filter and edit the image like you would any other Instagram image. When you're ready, click "Next".

8. Change the caption and re-post.

Feel free to give credit to the image owner in your caption — but remember you've also given them credit in the image itself. Add a location and tag people if you'd like, and then click "Share" when you're ready.

Here's how the post appears on your Instagram profile:

Using DownloadGram

DownloadGram lets Instagram users download high-resolution copies of Instagram photos and videos to repost from their own accounts. Luckily, there isn't an app you need to download to repost using this process. Here's how to do it:

1. Open Instagram and find a photo or video to repost.

Open your Instagram app and find the post you want to repost. Tap the "..." icon in the upper righthand corner of the post and click "Copy Share URL" (this button will be the same for both iOS and Android mobile devices).

2. Paste the post's share URL into DownloadGram.

Open your mobile internet browser and navigate to DownloadGram — or simply, downloadgram. org. Paste the URL into the text box that appears on the website's homepage. Then, tap "Download."

Tap the "Download Image" button that appears further down DownloadGram's homepage.

3. Download the post.

You'll be directed to a new webpage with the content ready to download. Tap the download icon — the box with an upward-facing arrow, as shown below — then tap "save image."

4. Open Instagram and find the photo or video in your camera roll.

Return to your Instagram app. The image will be saved to your phone's native camera roll, so edit it as you would any other Instagram post.

5. Add a caption and share your repost.

The repost won't include a citation, so we suggest adding one by typing "@ + [username]" to credit the original poster with the photo or video. Then, press "Share." Here's how the post appears on your Instagram profile:

1.

Open the instagram app and find the photo or video you'd like to add to your story.

2. Click the paper plane icon at the bottom of the post.

3. Click "Add post to your story."

4. Personalize the draft post with stickers or text.

You should see a draft of your story. Use the icons at the top to modify text, color, stickers and other animations.

5. Click "Your story" in the bottom left corner.

You also have the option to click "close friends" on the right, bottom corner (shown above) if you only want a select group to view your story.

Once you click "Your story" you'll see the option to click "Share" to repost your image to your Instagram Story.

With stories, the same best practices should be followed as for sharing a post. If you don’t know the person and suspect the content you’d like to re-share might be licensed material, ask for permission first. Give credit to the original posters whenever possible.

Why should your brand repost on Instagram?

First of all, it's important to understand the benefits of reposting images and videos.

Simply put, it takes a lot of time, effort, and resources to consistently create high-quality social content. And since most marketers post between 3-4 times per week, it's vital you have a backlog of content to keep up with demand.

Additionally, user-generated content (UGC) performs exceptionally well. In fact, 90% of consumers say UGC holds more influence over their buying decisions than promotional emails and even search engine results.

Reposting to Instagram can help you highlight brand endorsements from your customers, brand loyalists, and employees. UGC is typically considered more trustworthy, since a consumer isn't gaining anything by promoting your product or service (unless it's an advertisement) — they're just doing it to tell their audiences that they like your product.

For instance, consider the power of Warby Parker reposting this funny image from one of its customers, @cjronson:

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Warby Parker (@warbyparker)

Not only does the image likely appeal to Warby Parker customers, but it ultimately makes Warby Parker marketers' jobs easier — now they don't need to create all their own content in-house.

Share Your Favorite Instagram Posts

Now that you've learned how to repost on Instagram, you can diversify your profile with content sourced from friends, family, and brands. Use the methods above — being sure to cite the source of the original post — to quickly and easily reshare your favorite content.

How to Repost a Video on Instagram in 3 Different Ways

You can repost a video on Instagram from another user in several ways, using the official Instagram app, a screen recording, or a third-party app.
To repost a video to your Instagram Story, tap the paper plane icon underneath the video post you want to share.
There's no built-in way to repost Instagram videos to your profile — you'll need to make a screen recording of it, or use a third-party app like Repost.
Make sure you get permission to repost the video from its original source — it'll help you avoid copyright strikes, and is just good manners.

Not all Instagram posts have to be 100% original — in fact, some of the biggest accounts out there are dedicated to reposting other people's work. The best ones, of course, get permission before reposting anything, and always give proper credit.

There are several ways to repost videos you find on Instagram. The easiest way involves sharing the video to your Instagram Story, which will let your followers view it for a full day.

If you prefer a more permanent repost, you can save the video using a screen recording and then post it like any other Instagram post. This will put it on your profile alongside your other photos and videos.

There are also third-party apps like Repost, which convert someone else's Instagram post into one of your own.

Here are three ways to repost an Instagram video, using an iPhone or Android phone.

How to repost a video on Instagram by sharing it to your Story

1. Open the Instagram app and go to the post you want to share.

2. Directly beneath the post, tap the paper airplane icon. This will let you share it with someone via direct message, or repost it to your Story.

3. In the pop-up menu, select the option to "Add post to your story," which should appear at the top of the list.

4. On the next screen, the post will appear in a Story draft. You can add text, stickers, or other content as you would with any other Story.

5. Tap "Send To" at the bottom of the screen, and in the pop-up, select "Share" beside "Your Story."

You'll be able to share the Story just like any other.

When you share a post using this method, anyone who views your Story can tap on it to go to the original posting.

How to repost a video on Instagram by screen recording it

If you want to post another user's video to your profile without downloading an extra app, you can simply record your phone's screen while the video post is playing.

With this method, you can crop, edit, and shorten the screen recording so it appears on your profile just as you want it to. However, make sure you don't crop out the username of the original poster, and be sure to credit them in your caption.

Both iPhone and Android phones have screen recording features, usually built right into the phone. Check out our articles on the subject:

How to repost a video on Instagram to your page, share a post on Instagram

Developers delight users by making Instagram functionality richer every year. Although one of the options that many subscribers are waiting for is still not appearing in the social network service. It's about reposts. Yes, in the application from the official there is still no opportunity to share other people's publications in your feed.

However, there are always workarounds and tricks. Therefore, if you want to know how to repost an Instagram video to your page, you are in the right place. Let's figure out how to show your subscribers the post of a friend or acquaintance of a blogger. Go!

How to repost a video on Instagram: basic methods

So, how can you share someone else's post on your page? There are two popular ways:

through the embed code;
manually (save and publish).

They are very different, so let's look at how to place a video in your feed using each of them separately.

Through the embed code

It should be noted right away that it is suitable only for those who are going to share the news not on Instagram, but on their website, in social network messages or blogs. If you are satisfied with this, follow the algorithm of actions below:

Open a browser on your PC and go to the Instagram.com website.
Log in to your account using a standard login (nickname/email/mobile number) and password.
Scroll down the feed to the video you want to repost.
Click on the function button in the form of "three dots" located at the top of the screen.
Tap on "Paste" and "Copy embed code".

Done, you now have a shareable link on your clipboard. For example, consider how to send her friend a message on Vkontakte. You need:

Go to Vkontakte and select in the dialogs the contact to whom you want to send a link to the post.
Paste the code into the dialog box and wait until the video preview from the recording appears below.
Erase the code and click on the "paper airplane" icon to send the letter.

By clicking on the preview of the video, your friend will be able to go to the publication page.

Note. The same can be done on the phone. Only instead of the "Insert" button, select "Share via ...".

Repost the entry to your page manually

If you plan to repost to your profile, you will have to tinker a bit. You will need:

smartphone;
program for downloading content from Instagram "SuperSave";
10 minutes of free time.

If everything is there, then let's not hesitate and move on from words to deeds. To share an interesting note with your friends, repeat the step-by-step instructions below:

Launch the official Instagram app.
Log in to your account and go to the general feed.
Find a post to save.
Click on the "three dots" and tap on "Copy link".
Close Instagram and go to SuperSave.
Allow access to the gallery on your device.
Click on the green arrow button. Thanks to this, a preview of the repost clip will appear at the top of the utility.
Click on the preview.
Select "Copy all".
Tap on "Share" - "Save to ...".
Decide on the save folder and confirm the operation.

Everything, the most difficult is over, now you need to publish the news in your feed. To do this:

Go back to Instagram.
Click on the plus icon and click on the appropriate video in the gallery.
Process it if necessary: apply filters, adjust hue and saturation.
Add a signature. To do this, long-press on an empty field and click "Insert". This will work provided that you copied the text to SuperSave using "Copy All".
Confirm the publication with the "Share" button.

Interesting. SuperSave is a free utility available on Android platforms. It allows you to download from Insta not only video clips, but also pictures.

Instagram video repost apps

There are alternative ways to repost on Instagram. For example, using special utilities. Namely:

Repost for Instagram;
FastSave;
"Video Downloader" by InShot.

For convenience of choice, let's consider how to work in each of them.

Repost for Instagram:

Go to Google Market or AppStore and type "Repost for Instagram" in the search bar.
Install a suitable application.
Launch Instagram and copy the link of the post you want to share.
Go to Repost for Instagram. The video link will appear automatically.

Please wait a few minutes while the service loads the video for creating a new post in the social network.
Add a caption and click on the "Share" button.

FastSave:

Download FastSave to your smartphone.

How to repost a video on Instagram to your page

It is still impossible to repost a video on Instagram, despite frequent updates to the mobile application and the browser version of the social network - developers are still forced to look at the pages of services for reposting and uploading content to the device, and then add videos to the story or news feed and attach links to the author below or above, that is, make a mention.

It is very problematic to call such methods of social activity convenient, but those who are interested in promotion will find a way to get out. And the instructions below will help you not to get lost in the interface!

Video repost using applications

There are plenty of applications on the network that can cope with reposting other people's video publications on a personal page: the same Repost For Instagram is presented both in the Play Market and in the App Store and copes with all tasks in a semi-automatic mode - adds author's text and links to the original post, transfers hashtags and additional information.

The listed functionality is enough to repost a video on Instagram to your profile - you just need to follow the instructions provided by the developers.

In addition to Repost For Instagram, third-party assistants have also been released for iOS and Android: more about this in the article "A selection of programs and applications for reposting on Instagram".

Video repost via download

The classic way to repost a video (and other content) on Instagram is to use third-party tools, special downloaders that can find and upload materials to a hard drive, internal or external memory of mobile equipment by a link added to a text field.

Service for downloading videos from Instagram Instagrabber

Downloaded videos are played without restrictions and are freely added to the news feed. The only thing to deal with is adding links to the author of the original publication - otherwise, instead of a repost, a standard video will appear that violates the rights of copyright holders.

How to repost a video to Instagram Stories

If it is impossible to repost a video to Instagram directly to the feed due to the restrictions still in force on the territory of the social network, then Stories are made many times faster, and even with links saved, leading to the author's page.

Content is uploaded to history both in an official way (through the context menu), and in other scenarios: as an option, by uploading the materials you like to the internal memory of mobile devices with iOS and Android.

How to repost a video to Instagram stories so that it plays

Posts added as a repost to stories are not automatically played: instead of videos, only a preview (start frame) with a link to the author and tools for editing and adding widgets appearing on top and other materials.

The problem of reposting a video to Instagram stories so that it plays when opened is solved by already familiar methods - by downloading special software that can prepare a repost (like Repost for Instagram) or by uploading content through Instagrabber.

Download video from Instagram to your phone using a service or application;
Start the story editor in the Instagram app;
Add the downloaded video and the author's mention to the new story;
Publish a story.

Regardless of the choice, videos in stories will start playing automatically, and a link to the author will have to be added manually. Repost video from Reels central access;

Scroll through and turn on the appropriate video, click on the "Share" button on the right;

From the menu that appears, select the item related to adding content to Stories.

Wait for the graphic editor to appear, correct the details and upload the materials.

Video repost in Reels

Repost in the standard way

You can repost a video on Instagram to a story using the built-in method in the application, but videos will not be played when creating Stories by reposting other people's publications through the "Share" button. The image will not move further than the preview.

Video repost in stories

Therefore, you will only have to rely on downloading content (through the same Instagrabber) and turning to thematic services for help. The second option is a little more practical - there will be a chance to make the link to the author more clearly and add additional visual details.

How to repost a video on a computer

The browser version of Instagram does not even allow uploading videos to the news feed, and therefore very expected problems will arise with the design of video reposts - instead of the suggestion “add a post to Stories”, only a list with recommended recipients for forwarding will appear post via Direct.

But it is possible to get around technical limitations: you will need an Android operating system emulator (BlueStacks or similar - Nox App Player, MEmu) and a service for uploading materials from social network pages - Instagrabber. After preparing the necessary tools, it is enough to repeat the following algorithm of actions:

Run the emulator, download the latest version of Instagram through the Play Market;
Log in to the social network by filling in the text fields "Login" and "Password";
Copy video link via emulator and upload content using Instagrabber service.
Reopen BlueStacks or Nox App Player and make a "repost" (or rather, upload the video to the feed with information about the author).

In addition to emulators, auto-posting services such as SMMPlanner, SMMbox, Livedune also handle reposting on a PC. Which of the listed assistants to choose depends on the tasks and the current budget. But it is not necessary to subscribe right away - newcomers are waiting for a 7-day trial period with full access to the auto-posting functionality.
