Why Add Multiple Videos to Instagram Stories?

instagram stories

Adding multiple videos in one Instagram Story provides the following benefits:

  • Time efficiency – Sharing multiple videos simultaneously instead of separately posting them can save significant time. That's ideal if you have many ready-to-go clips that you wish to share instantly.
  • Smooth storytelling – If your two or more videos tell one story, posting them together makes sense. It ensures your viewers immediately get the whole picture. Some examples include product demos, tutorials, and marketing videos, where each clip highlights a specific feature or consumer benefit.
  • Interactive experiences – The best part about IG Stories is the feature's interactive tools. You can add a quiz, poll, question box, emoji slider for reactions, location tag, and a link to your website. That's perfect for nearly any content, from educational and entertainment to promotional videos.

Now that you understand the convenience and benefits of adding multiple IG Story videos, it's time to dive into the best methods.

How to Add Multiple Videos to One Story on Instagram?

When you post multiple videos on Instagram Story, Instagram shares them sequentially, playing them one after the other. You can't merge them in one Story. Still, you can share them simultaneously and enjoy the impressive daily limit of 100 Stories.

Here's how to add multiple videos to Instagram Story:

  1. Launch the Instagram app and tap the Your Story icon.
    create a new instagram story
  2. Switch to Videos and tap Select.
    select videos
  3. Tap to select all the videos you wish to include in your IG Story, and hit Next.
    use the selection feature
  4. You'll see two options: Separate and Layout. However, as Instagram conveniently informs you, the latter is for photos only, so tap the former to continue.
    select a separate layout
  5. Separately edit each video by tapping it and adding text, music, stickers, tags, effects, filters, and other tweaks. You can also change their order (tap and hold any clip and move it left or right). Once everything suits your expectations, tap Next.
    edit each video
  6. The default sharing option is Your Story (which makes your IG Story visible to all followers), but you can also choose Close Friends. Finally, tap Share.
    share your instagram story

Bonus: How to Add Multiple Videos in One Instagram Story?

A third-party solution is your only option for merging multiple videos to share them as one Instagram Story. The good news is your smartphone probably has a built-in video editor that lets you combine clips.

However, integrated apps have limited features. That's where dedicated software like Wonderhare DemoCreator comes into play. This professional video recorder and editor has extensive tools, including AI-powered functionalities like auto-captions for making your videos more accessible.

Its other AI tools let you remove unwanted objects and background noise, apply a beauty filter, change your voice, convert text into speech, enhance voice quality, isolate vocals and music, and add other tweaks.

You can enjoy many other video and audio editing features, including merging multiple clips, adjusting their speed, and processing them in batches.

DemoCreator is also perfect for creating videos. Besides the regular Screen, Screen & Camera, and Camera Only options, it has three exclusive recording modes: Game, Virtual Avatar, and Video Presentation. Check all DemoCreator features to see how they can help you make fantastic videos and impress your audience.

If you're new to Instagram Stories and need help boosting your reach, follow these tips and tricks to create fun and inspiring IG Stories:

  • Create unique templates – Instagram's Add Yours templates are excellent for participating in trends and encouraging others to share their takes. You can add text, images, or GIFs to your prompts, making them templates for your followers' responses.
  • Leverage interactive features – Create polls and quizzes, ask questions, include links and location tags, and make frames that viewers can shake to reveal the content. You can also use the Add Yours sticker (available for photos only) to encourage followers to share their favorite music in Stories.
  • Add glowing emojis – Who says emojis are out of style? Instagram has given them a makeover, letting you stylize them with a neon cursive font, unlocking a soft glow.
  • Use hashtags – The key to boosting your reach lies in hashtags. They increase your IG Story visibility, enabling people to discover your content in search.
  • Tag friends after sharing a Story – Don't worry if you forget to mention someone in your Instagram Story because you can do it later. This convenient feature wasn't always available, but you can now seamlessly add belated tags by opening your Story and tapping More (the three dots) > Add Mention.

These tips only scratch the surface, so launch your Instagram app and see the other Story features it has up its sleeve.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to add two videos on Instagram Story or upload multiple clips simultaneously, it's time to put your newly acquired knowledge into practice.

However, you don't have to limit yourself to the Instagram app. After all, it doesn't have built-in functionality for merging videos to share them as one Story. Instead, try a professional video recording and editor like Wondershare DemoCreator to take your IG Stories and other social videos to the next level.

FAQs

  • Can I post multiple videos on an Instagram Story?
    You can simultaneously share multiple videos (up to 100 daily) to Instagram Stories. Unfortunately, they'll play sequentially, not become part of one IG Story. However, software like Wondershare DemoCreator can help you combine many clips, enabling you to post them as one video. Of course, you may need to trim them to avoid exceeding the length limit. Otherwise, Instagram will split them.
  • What is the length limit in multi-video Instagram Stories?
    Every Instagram Story has a 60-second limit. Therefore, if you create an IG Story with multiple videos, each can last a maximum of one minute. The same goes for merging many clips into one video; it can't be longer than 60 seconds unless you don't mind Instagram splitting it.
  • Can I edit multiple videos before posting them as a Story on Instagram?
    Absolutely! You can separately fine-tune every clip in a multi-video Story before sharing it with close friends or all followers.
