Posting IGTV videos to Facebook and Instagram is a task so intuitive that you can hardly make a mistake. So, in this article, we are going to show you three different methods you can utilize to share all the videos you post on IGTV to Facebook.

If you are posting IGTV videos frequently you may want to extend the pool of possible viewers in order to get more traffic on each post you share. The Instagram or IGTV apps enable you to do this in just a few quick taps. Here’s how you can share your IGTV videos to Facebook.

Method 1 Sharing IGTV Videos to Facebook from the IGTV app

Launch the IGTV app and tap on the Cog icon in the lower right corner and then select Linked Accounts option. By doing this you will link your Facebook and your IGTV accounts and your videos will be shared on both platforms simultaneously every time you upload a new video. You will be asked to provide the log in details for your Facebook account. After signing in, you just have to select the page or the profile to which you want to share IGTV videos and that is it, you can now proceed to upload a new video or share some of your earlier posts.

If you want to share a new IGTV video on Facebook, you just have to tap on the Facebook Page option while you’re uploading the video.

Instagram users can activate the option to share all posts to Facebook automatically or they can choose which posts are going to be posted on both platforms. In case you want all posts to be shared to Facebook automatically, you have to link two accounts, as we described earlier. Afterward, just tap on the IGTV icon and find the video you want to share. The steps of sharing an IGTV video with the Instagram app are the same as the steps for sharing the videos with IGTV app, so you just have to select the page or the profile to which you want to share the video.

Method 3 Sharing IGTV Videos to Facebook from Web Browser
