As is already the case in other rival social networks, such as TikTok, Instagram will now allow Stories videos reach 60 seconds in length without cuts, avoiding those pauses every 15 seconds that until now interrupted videos that exceeded the duration originally assigned to this type of publication.
Now Stories can last up to a minute without interruptions
This avoids annoying interruptions of the current format and the duration of the videos is multiplied by four continuous, something that users of other social platforms such as TikTok could already enjoy, where the allowed duration is even longer (up to three minutes). In any case, this recent launch by Instagram is one more example of the cross influences between the characteristics of the most popular social networks.
The truth is that until now on Instagram you could publish a video of up to a minute in length, but it could only be done through the Reels, with which now this format is extended to Stories that avoids having to fragment a video previously Recorded.
Instagram has just announced this possibility of adding videos of up to one minute in length without cuts to the Stories so that in the next few hours it will be available all over the planet, having to update the app to the latest version to enjoy this novelty as well as other common improvements in updates, or novelties such as the recently incorporated possibility of adding new links for Stories.
In recent times, Instagram has not ceased in its efforts to improve Stories even more, as shown not only by this improvement in the duration of the videos that can be published in them, but also by other characteristics, such as allowing you to insert tweets directly into the Stories themselves, thus favoring the cross-dissemination of content and facilitating the task of content creators.
