Instagram reel longer than 90 seconds: What you can do

If you want to upload a video to Instagram that lasts longer than 90 seconds, you need to work around the settings a little. You must upload the video as a feed and not as a reel.

• If your video lasts three minutes, you must upload it to Instagram as a reel. These must be at least 60 seconds long in the app

• You can upload your video in IGTV format if it is longer than ten minutes, for example. If you are holding a webinar, i.e. a live recording, the video can be up to four hours long.

• Some Instagram accounts have the option of posting a reel that is a maximum of 1.5 minutes long.

How to post a reel on Instagram
