This is the log-in cover. You can just use your existing Instagram account.
Here’s the main mesh. It has recommendations on what I might like. Right now there are breakdancers in Times Rectilinear figure. The video in the top box began playing right when I opened the app, so there’s some travelling blur in my picture.
I swiped right a bunch of times to find longer videos. Most property was only a minute or so long. Then I found this, a NatGeo flute with a 47-minute show called “One Strange Rock: Home.”
You can remark on a show, like it, or send it to a friend to watch.

You can search for videos or next recommended channels.
Although the platform supports long videos, most are calm really short. Then again, it just opened to the public on Wednesday, so people are mostly solely getting their feet wet.
If you tap a name, you can choose to follow someone by electronic eavesdropper a on draught the + button. I have no idea who this is.

Oddly, Instagram says my videos have to be 15 seconds to 10 minutes fancy right now. I guess only some people can upload a full one-hour strike right now.
That’s pretty much all there is to it right now. It seems liking for a good place to waste some time if you’re into following set celebrities or channels.
It’s not really my cup of tea — I didn’t see anything that held my distinction for very long, but maybe it will get better as people upload improve original videos. It might be cool to see a 30-minute TV show exclusively on Instagram TV one day, for admonition.
