2 Ways To Add Multiple Videos To Instagram Story
Adding multiple videos to your Instagram Story can be done in two main ways: as individual clips that play one after another in a sequence, or as a single, merged video created outside of Instagram. This video explains both options and how to use each depending on your content goals.
The first method is the built-in *multiple upload feature* within the Instagram app. Open Instagram and tap the *plus (+)* icon or your profile picture to create a new Story. Then, tap the *gallery* icon in the lower left to access your camera roll. In the top-right corner, tap the *"Select Multiple"* icon (often shown as two overlapping squares). From here, you can choose several video clips. Tap **Next**, and Instagram will preview each clip as an individual story segment. You can edit them separately with stickers, text, filters, or music before sharing.
These clips will upload as separate stories in sequence — great for storytelling or showcasing multiple moments individually while keeping them connected.
The second method is to *merge your videos into one single file* using a video editing app before uploading. Apps like *CapCut**, **iMovie**, or **Canva* allow you to import multiple video files and combine them into one continuous video. This is useful if you want the videos to play as a single, smooth story without breaks. Once the merge is complete, save the new video to your device and upload it to Instagram Stories as a single clip.
Keep in mind, each Instagram Story clip has a maximum duration of **15 seconds**, so if your combined video is longer, Instagram will automatically split it across multiple slides. However, it will appear as a single, continuous story to viewers.
