Instagram, which started its life on smartphones, has not allowed sharing from a computer since its establishment. It allows users to log on to the desktop and navigate the platform via web browsers; however, it has always been one step behind its competitors when it comes to content production.
This situation led Instagram users who wanted to share photos and videos from the computer to third-party alternatives. Since the software that does this job requires direct access to the person’s account, its reliability is always open to question. The social media company has finally freed people from this obligation.
How to share Instagram from computer?
Instagram released a new update for its web page today. The update, which also covers Turkey, brought photo and video sharing support from the computer. The company announced the feature with the note, “You can now create and share posts directly from the computer.” So how to upload photos and videos to Instagram from the browser? Here are the steps.

Instagram only allows photo and video sharing via computer. Unfortunately, you cannot add Reels and Stories at this time.

The company has not yet officially confirmed, but users expect this.
‘Instagram Video’, which replaced IGTV, entered our lives
Instagram went through a radical change to the platform in early October. It has removed IGTV from being a separate format on its own. It has combined IGTV and regular streaming videos under a new feature called ‘Instagram Video’. Thus, it made it easier to use both features on the platform.
