How to Use Instagram - Beginner's Guide

New to Instagram? Not sure if you are getting the most out of the app? This video will walk you through using Instagram, step by step.
We will start with a new app download, a new profile, exploring Instagram, following new people, and posting your first photo or video.
Instagram is broken up into 4 different parts and there is a video for each section. This main video is focusing on the Instagram feed. That is basically the main part of Instagram and all it was for the first 5 years.
Then we will look at Instagram Story, Instagram direct messages, and IGTV. Check out those videos after you watch this one.

[@paulamendelsohn1531]

Thank you very much. I was on an hour long webinar yesterday for how to better use Instagram and there was an implied assumption of user knowledge that for me, was completely non-applicable. This is exactly what I needed! How to get started, what all the little pictures mean, and how to do things step by step. Bless you for understanding that some of us "old people" are clueless initially and just need a jump start. Stay safe!

[@Howfinity]

Thanks very much. That’s exactly why I made this channel. I appreciate you taking the time to write this

[@bardofely]

Thank you so much for all this info! I joined Instagram some years back but never put much on it or understood how to use it. I am a singer-songwriter and author and need to spread the word about my music and writings. I have been listening to Rick Barker, who was Taylor Swift's manager, and he recommends Instagram most highly, so I thought I had better learn more about it and using it! I have given you a thumbs-up and subscribed!

[@rochellecandiotti3596]

Your videos are wonderful...some of the only ones I've found that TRULY clearly explain step by step details. I'm going to be teaching a beginner Instagram class in person to some senior citizens who want to learn the basics. I'd love to create a video like yours to project on a large screen so they can follow along. Can you please tell me what app you use to show the features in action on the phone? I don't know if it matters but I use Android & Windows. Thank you.

[@Howfinity]

Thank you very much. Sadly, I have not yet found a way to do this with android. I use an application called OBS which is free for mac and PC to record the phone, but only works with iPhone. And I use another application called adobe premiere to edit and add the circles that call out where I tap. It’s takes a while to create each video in the edit. But I don’t know if a simpler way

[@rochellecandiotti3596]

@@Howfinity Thank you so much for your quick response. I'll look into alternatives to OBS for Android.
