Instagram has restricted longer videos more than 60 seconds for regular Instagram post and 15 seconds for Instagram Stories.

It means you cannot post longer YouTube videos on Instagram.

What you need to do is just cut the unnecessary part from the video and trim it down to the require time frame.

For video editing I personally use Filmora and Kapwing.

There are so many free mobile video editing apps are also available for iPhone and Android users too.

Just use any convenient option available for you and edit the video by adding captions, colors, music, overlays as per your requirement.

iPhone users, make sure you save the video in Photo Gallery from the Download folder.
