NEW DELHI: Over the past two and a half years, Instagram has become a community where one can capture and share the world’s moments simply and beautifully. Some moments, however, need more than a static image to come to life. Until now these stories have been missing from Instagram.

Today, the application has announced that they are set to introduce video on Instagram and bring another way to share one‘s stories. When you go to take a photo on Instagram, you’ll now see a movie camera icon. Tap it to enter video mode, where you can take up to fifteen seconds of video through the Instagram camera.

The user can also find there are additional thirteen filters built specifically for video so the user can keep sharing the desired content on Instagram. When you post a video, you’ll also be able to select your favorite scene from what you’ve recorded as your cover image so your videos are visually appealing even when they’re not playing.

So what does this mean for your content? Nothing’s different from photos. Instagram will continue to be committed to making sure you have control over all of your content. Only the people who you let see your photos will be able to see your videos. And as with photos, you own your videos.
