Thank you for this. I'm raging at my computer trying to figure out how to make a darn post to Instagram. It's almost 2020 why isn't this just a normal function... blows my mind. Thanks again!
omg i did a digital marketing course where i learned this to see your site on different phones but i wouldd have never thought of this neither xd but is genius
I have been trying to figure out how to do this FOR AGES because I don't have my boss's phone in order to manage her account. You have no idea how much this just helped me. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Hi Sangita, there is another way to upload video's. The app has since unfortuantly made the upload size very small though, on the free account for video's, if you would like to learn how though it is here: ua-cam.com/video/-ETrJGEdB1g/v-deo.html
OMG, you do not know how many of excuses you have saved me from having to postpose posting:; i like instagram but I hate spending a lot of time on my phone and my neck bend: thank you
Ben you are a wonderful genius. Just spent hours faffing around trying to get pictures on to a tablet to upload to Instagram and failing. So simple to do it on my laptop where all the pictures are already! Thank you so much.
Thanks, I am new to instagram I am just learning how instagram is tailored to function best on mobile devices not the PC. I watched several tutorials before finding yours. You are the only one who showed me how to do this on the desktop. You have a new subscriber today.
Ben, you are a genius!!! I have looked at lots of complicated youtube videos on getting the plus button, but none of them have a solution until I looked at your video. Thanks for your help :)
Just Perfect Video!!! I don't get the dislikes this time. I don't as I don't get Instagram management poor decision making capabilities. How can I not be able to upload from a PC??? I would be in the board, whoever took that decision is FIRED.
THIS IS THE BEST HELP I HAVE EVER RECEIVED ON UA-cam!! I have sooo many content on my laptop and I was unfortunate to have more trouble with my phone when I dropped it and had trouble with the touch screen. Thank you very very much, Ben!!
This is a brill 'trick' that I use all the time. :) I could be wrong, but I think that this trick only really works on Chrome. [Edge and Firefox etc don't have the same 'switch to mobile mode' option, or it's in a different place/called something different.] Unfortunately, if you want to upload multiple photos into one Instagram post (pre-minor tweaks and post-minor tweaks versions, perhaps or a cropped/uncropped versions or even various semi-related photos), you can't do this. Or if you can, I have yet to find a way to do it! Also, if you want to most of the Instagram filters/editing tools, they don't seem to be avialable either.
Thanks Chris, some great points made here. I always edit everthing in lightroom and photoshop if needed, then it gets resized and sharpened for instagram. Its a shame they don't provide the filters for people to access on the computer, because many people use them. Thanks for watching Chris, I hope your well mate, and everything is good with you 😊
IT WORKS! AWESOME. Thanks so much. Seems like I'm on my PC more than my phone some days and this process makes it so much faster to get to my photo libraries. Thanks again
thank you so much, it's really frustrating when people make a 'how to' and they spend so long introducing the actual video when it's already in the title. thank you thank you thank you. I noticed this would take a while so I looked down for this comment and here you are, like an angel fallen from the sky. Greetings from bcn
Thank you so much for this video!!! I've been on Instagram for a while but haven't posted anything because I only go to it on my computer. I've searched for other instructions and none are as clear as your explanation! Thanks again!!! :-)
I want to thank you soooo much🙏 for this help, here in Brazil I didnt find any video like this. Now I finally can continue posting my cover videos here on youtube after a long time❤️❤️
TY so much IG has been an absolute misery to me but its where the art audience is, this has been invaluable thank you. Subscribing just so you can have a subscriber because of this video.
Thanks Ben, YOU DA MAN! I f***ing HATE using the Instagram platform, but find it a necessary evil. Your fix has helped a great deal. Why the creators decided to make this so desktop unfriendly is beyond my scope of comprehension! Thanks again.
this video really helped because my IPhone recently broke so it caused me to be using my School laptop for almost everything but tysm for this video helped a lot P.S Expect to see me comment on a video on helping to do stuff cause ima be coming to your channel for now on :)
Hello Bensguide, where you've said @2:14 to, "...head up to left-hand side where you'll see toggle devices button...", I cannot work out what toggle device button you mean. I'm on my laptop (MacAir) and have clicked 'Inspect' as you said, but that's as far as I can go. [In case useful: there is no icon or button on left-hand side of my profile picture, but I *can* see part of one on *your* Instagram page (on the above video) once you had opened 'Inspect'.] Are you able to assist?
I know you left this commend 3 years ago but many I can help. that button will not appear in safari but will in almost any other browser. use an other browser I used firefox
Thank you! Perhaps I'm overlooking something, but is there a way on PC to add multiple photos, as one can do on mobile, in a single Instagram post? Thanks again.
I feel like such a boomer having to watch this
Listen, join the club lol
fucking same
Same bruh :)
hahaha you're not alone man, I'm right there with ya
Same
Thank you for this. I'm raging at my computer trying to figure out how to make a darn post to Instagram. It's almost 2020 why isn't this just a normal function... blows my mind. Thanks again!
IKR I was like how do you do that.
I don't think they like computer people.🤔
It's actually a joke how shit instagram is on the computer.
i'm raging as well! I've been working with the app for days now and still running into problems!
What they said!
I would have NEVER figured that out on my own!
What an utterly ridiculous palaver - I can't be bothered, I'm out!.
lol me to truth its not simple its like hack hahaha
omg i did a digital marketing course where i learned this to see your site on different phones but i wouldd have never thought of this neither xd but is genius
you're right if its on inspect only web coder know how to do it
OMG thanks man! Saved me a lot of e-mailing to myself 😂.
totally helps!!!
Glad it helped 😊👍
me tooo lol!
Yea, I did a similar thing before learning this, I always posted the things I wanted to post on IG to my Google Drive
lol i do this too and sometimes it takes ages to be sent
thanks bro its done
NICE
I have been trying to figure out how to do this FOR AGES because I don't have my boss's phone in order to manage her account. You have no idea how much this just helped me. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Hey thank you so much for this awesome trick , But its giving me just .jpg uploading option no .mp4, please help

I don't usually subscribe to tech support videos but this one.... You deserve some sort of award for that
I know this was made nearly a year ago, but it wouldn't feel right if I didn't say thank you. Oh my gosh, dude. Thank you.
That's kind of you to say that dude, thank you 😊
You are heaven sent. Thank you very much. I was just drained until I got this. From Kenya, I am deeply greatful. Blessings
Wow! The most relaxing tutorial I found on the internet!! Been scratching my head over a week over this. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching VimanaS4 and thank you for the lovely comment, means alot.
Ben! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to us. It was a big help. Blessings to you and yours!
OMG, you do not know how many of excuses you have saved me from having to postpose posting:; i like instagram but I hate spending a lot of time on my phone and my neck bend: thank you
Thank you Amina, I'm happy the video has helped you.
Ben you are a wonderful genius. Just spent hours faffing around trying to get pictures on to a tablet to upload to Instagram and failing. So simple to do it on my laptop where all the pictures are already! Thank you so much.
No dust no fuss - quick and easy. THANK U
Thank you !! I love the way you share your Tutorials in a simple to understand method and right to the point. Very Grateful 👌😊
Thanks dude it's taken me a never ending load of videos to finally get to the source. No pun intended.
Your welcome.
Strange, I don't have "+" button as on your screen. Mine shows as a screen with a zigzag in it.
I tried with Safari and firefox it didn't work for me but with Google Chrome works fine. Hope it helps :)
This way may work a lot better for you: ua-cam.com/video/Esldl02FS_Q/v-deo.html
u gotta refresh the page
ua-cam.com/video/oN36Ou1HyXY/v-deo.html
had heard about this but didn't know how - good to know now : ) I email my pics and open them on my phone and then posted on IG before
Thanks Noealz, I didn't know about this fix until quite recently
Thanks, I am new to instagram I am just learning how instagram is tailored to function best on mobile devices not the PC.
I watched several tutorials before finding yours. You are the only one who showed me how to do this on the desktop.
You have a new subscriber today.
Thank you Mark 🙏
Thank you for an easy to follow - amazing communication and teaching skills!
So how do you go about the process when you want to upload a video from your computer or PC?
in that case it looks like youve gotta go through the "awkward" process by sending it to your phone... oh well
@@zachfitzgerald lmfao
Zach Fitzgerald how do I do that
Try inssist.com which supports video uploads. It does not ask you for Instagram password either.
if above 1 minute then use instagram tv
Ben, you are a genius!!! I have looked at lots of complicated youtube videos on getting the plus button, but none of them have a solution until I looked at your video. Thanks for your help :)
Just Perfect Video!!! I don't get the dislikes this time. I don't as I don't get Instagram management poor decision making capabilities. How can I not be able to upload from a PC??? I would be in the board, whoever took that decision is FIRED.
This is one of the most useful videos I've come across 2019. Thanks a million.
hey sorry to bother but did u upload a video cuz mine doesnt show the videos i have in my pc
Your a genius!!! It worked!! - & Easy! No Computer Science PHD needed!! Thank YOU!!!!
Thank you Roxanne, I'm happy you found it helpful and that it worked for you.
this just changed my life. thank you.
I never realized it was THIS easy, thank you!
I was gonna cry!!
hello plz i want to ask you , is your insta still working , cuz mine get banned , thx
WOW!!!! I thought I was the only one that did not know how to post from my desktop. THANK YOU!!!
I keep hitting a dead end. I've had the + show up before, but not recently. Have they disabled?
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad I can do this now instead of clogging up my email by emailing myself pictures 😂
Happy to help 😊
wanna be friends
Totally - so annoying.
THIS IS THE BEST HELP I HAVE EVER RECEIVED ON UA-cam!!
I have sooo many content on my laptop and I was unfortunate to have more trouble with my phone when I dropped it and had trouble with the touch screen.
Thank you very very much, Ben!!
I am so glad it was really helpful, thanks a lot for watching
this'll be a good way for me to post my pieces until i jump off the instagram platform. Thanks for this!
On telephone we can upload several photos in the same post. Is this possible on
desktop?
I tried but it seems that it uploading multiple photos in one post won't work on PC.
i'm trying that too and i think it's impossible :/
Fantastic, I had read descriptions on how to do this, but they seemed complicated. You made it so eaaaasy... Thank you!
This is a brill 'trick' that I use all the time. :)

i feel like a boomer watching this.... BUT BRO THHIS NOY 2020 THIS 2019
Brilliant! I spend much of my day combing through the developer screen of google chrome. I never thought of this. Thanks!
Followed your directions to the letter. Doesn't work, don't see the + sign when I get to the mobile version. Did Instagram change something??
did not work for me either
its fake inspect dosent work its just for change the look not the real button or code.
This works!! ua-cam.com/video/Esldl02FS_Q/v-deo.html&feature=em-comments
Did you hit the browser refresh next to your search browser bar on the left?
Cheers, good to hear a English accent too
Absolutely superb, thank you. Managed to fix this before i went completely bald! Great job.
2020 and it still works 😄
This is what I needed
IT WORKS! AWESOME. Thanks so much. Seems like I'm on my PC more than my phone some days and this process makes it so much faster to get to my photo libraries. Thanks again

I tried this with Firefox and Chrome and neither brought up the plus sign. Anyone else having trouble and what could be the problem? Thanks!
I tired with opera and it worked.
Don't forget to refresh!
Me too, not working :-(
Tried on Firefox and it didn't work then tried on Google Chrome and it did
I'm trying to upload a video and I click on it then click "open" literally nothing happens.

It's 2021 and this is my first time using Instagram for business/Period! Thank You 💞
