Instagram overhauls long-form video and tests horizontal videos called Features, as it chases YouTube

Business Insider· 26 Oct

Business Insider's analysis says Instagram head Adam Mosseri wants the app to be the most culturally relevant platform by showing up where people are, and that Instagram unveiled an overhaul of its long-form video features on Monday, including a test of horizontal videos called Features. The piece says the changes make the app feel more like YouTube, with a growing appetite for episode-style shows made for Instagram. It uses the show Subway Takes, which has its largest audience of 2.4 million followers on Instagram, as an example of the platform's strengths and limits.

  • If you already film longer how-to or behind-the-scenes clips for YouTube, try posting one to Instagram as well and see how it does.
  • Wait for the feature to reach your account before you plan around it: it is described as a test, not a full launch.
