Instagram Tests New 90-Minute Horizontal Video Format 'Features' for CreatorsPreviousNext

Instagram is testing a new video format called Features, allowing creators to upload horizontal videos up to 90 minutes long. Initially available to select creators in the US and Brazil, this format aims to complement Instagram's short-form Reels by enabling longer content like podcasts and comedy specials. Features will be accessible on mobile and Instagram's TV apps, expanding the platform's entertainment offerings and helping creators reach wider audiences through linked short and long videos.
