If you also want to put you’re your content out there on IGTV, then this post will help you. The IGTV feature is available for both Android and iOS smartphones, and apart from that, it can also be used in the web version of Instagram.

The IGTV supports a video of maximum 60 minutes. However, the twist here is that the 60 minutes time limit is for the large and the verified accounts.
