How to Use the Hipposerve® Studio Instagram Video Widget

The Instagram widget allows you to embed Instagram video posts directly onto your website. This is an excellent way to showcase your latest social media content, product demonstrations, behind-the-scenes videos and customer engagement.

Instagram videos are streamed directly from Instagram, helping to keep your website fast while automatically displaying the latest version of your content.

Tip: You can embed Instagram posts by using either the full post URL or the Instagram Post ID.

Adding an Instagram Video

Embedding an Instagram video only takes a few moments.

  1. Drag and drop the Media widget onto your page.
  2. Select an Instagram composition.
  3. In the right-hand toolbar, enter the Instagram Post URL or ID.

Your Instagram video will automatically appear on your page once a valid post URL or ID has been entered.

Recommended: Copy the complete Instagram post URL directly from Instagram to ensure the correct post is embedded.

Customising Your Instagram Video

The Instagram widget provides simple options for controlling how your embedded content is displayed.

Video Size

Adjust the size of the embedded Instagram post using the controls in the right-hand toolbar.

You can also enable Allow to adjust size automatically so the embedded post automatically adapts to different screen sizes.

Tip: Automatic sizing helps ensure your Instagram content looks great on desktops, tablets and mobile devices.

Best Practices

  • Embed high-quality Instagram videos to make your website more engaging.
  • Enable automatic sizing for the best experience across all devices.
  • Use publicly available Instagram posts, as private content cannot be displayed.
  • Keep your Instagram content up to date so visitors always see your latest posts.
  • Use Instagram videos to complement your website rather than replacing important page content.
