Did you see a YouTube video that you liked?
Or do you have a YouTube channel and you want to promote one of your videos?
Either way, you can share the YouTube video link on your Instagram story.
It is commonly known that you need to have 10,000 followers on Instagram to use the swipe up link.
However, Instagram recently released a new feature that allows people to share links.
Therefore, you don’t need 10,000 followers to add a YouTube video link to your Instagram story.
In this tutorial you will learn how to add or share a YouTube video link on your Instagram story even without 10,000 followers (swipe up link).
To share a YouTube video on your Instagram story, you need to first copy the link to the video.
Second, add a story, tap the sticker icon, and tap the “Link” sticker.
Finally, paste the link to the YouTube video and post the story!
As of October 28, 2021, everyone on Instagram can use the “Link” sticker.
Stickers allow you to include hyperlinks in your stories.
You can link to YouTube videos, TikTok profiles, e-commerce stores, etc.
Also, the swipe up link will be discontinued (even if you have 10,000 followers).
Here are 6 steps to share YouTube videos on your Instagram story:
- Copy link to YouTube video
- Open Instagram and add a story
- Tap the sticker icon

Conclusion
It used to be impossible to add or share YouTube videos on your Instagram story.
Before the “Link” sticker was featured on Instagram, you needed 10,000 or more followers to add a link to your Instagram story.
Previously, you could only use the swipe up link feature if you had 10,000 or more followers.
Since the introduction of the “Link” sticker, you can now use it to share YouTube videos on your Instagram story.
When you share a YouTube video to your Instagram story, be sure to include some context.
You can do this by adding a video thumbnail as an image to your story.
You can also add captions explaining what the video is about.
