Looks like save to IGTV are very beta on IG right now. I've added this feature few days ago and looks like even if IG reporting me back via API about successful operation - its not working in most cases. SO, I've decided to roll back save to stories today. Latest updates published just now.

I was able to download and upload to IGTV, but it's messy. The main issues are

1) Don't close the browser tab before clicking on the MPD download link, or you'll loose it forever
2) With the MPD file, VLC is able to play it correctly, but when converting to a file, it looses the audio and drops the video quality
3) The best tool to convert the MPD file to an MP4 file correctly has been youtube-dl command line (brew install youtube-dl on mac). But, it needs an URL to an MPD file, it can't be local, so you need to upload it to a file directory that allows a direct link, e.g. gofile.io. Then type: $ youtube-dl -f bestvideo+bestaudio someurl/file.mpd
4) Instagram TV limits upload length to 15 minutes, so split your file in as many chunks of 14min58s as necessary with ffmpeg (brew install ffmpeg on mac), then type: $ ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -acodec copy -f segment -segment_time 898 -vcodec copy -reset_timestamps 1 -map 0 output%d.mp4

instafeed.me could simplify the process by at least providing a direct link to the file.mpd

Hi Vladimir, do you know if Instafeed.me violates IG's restriction with using private API? In other words, will IG block my account if I use Instafeed.me to upload pre-recorded videos as live?

I have ZERO reports about blocked accounts. Only copyright violations in stream content can be a reason for 1 day and up to few weeks of Live feature limitation.

Thank you for your reply, Vladimir. I really appreciate it. So, when would the private API issue be a problem on IG?

Are there any drawbacks regarding IG algorithm when using instafeed? What is the regulation regarding intellectual property on instafeed? Do they get any rights on our content? And is it standard practice to use Instafeed to simulate live, although it isn’t live? Sorry for all the questions! I am obviously very new to this.

If you using outdated API references, wrong methods, wrong headers, signatures, cheap/public proxies , break rates limits etc etc - it can be a problem for user.

Basta usar algum aplicativo de video conferencia, como o zoom, e redirecionar o audio do programa pra uma stream de audio do OBS. Eu deixei um computador sendo o host da meeting e rodando o OBS e ai todos os participantes entraram pelo zoom, inclusive eu, de um outro computador pra nao ter conflito de delay do audio. É legal que voce consegue controlar gallery view com todos os rostos ou speaker view, destacando quem ta falando.

Hi Vladimir, cool project! Were you working on this before I even posted this thread? If I remember correctly, I think you showed a template of what your stream would look like right? That was a really nice feature! Looking forward to hearing more about your progress!

@vladimir Sobolev ... Are you connected to this website development? instafeed.m and yellow duck seem to be the only services offering stream keys for IG. Do you have another option?

Hi Vladimir,
I tried to use your application but I can't get the stream key .... keep on processing but nothing happens. I have tried with several Instagram accounts. Do you have an answer?

Hello! Maybe this is becouse I have US proxies on file to connect to IG servers and your account goes to verification challenge or something like that. I've updated to localized proxy service (current users country based) - can. you please try again?
Anyway, I have a build-in email confirmation UI, but I will check it one more time. I guess I need to add SMS option for two step verification...

Владимир, приветствую! Тестировал сервис instafeed.me, столкнулся с трудностями при рестриме видео с YouTube в Instagram - видео с некоторых каналов сервис дает транслировать, некоторые не находит.
На всех тестируемых каналах включено встраивание видео, также это не зависит от количества подписчиков на канале - сервис позволил сделать трансляцию с тестового канала YouTube с 3 подписчиками, но не дал с другого с 1000 подписчиков.
С чем это может быть связано?

Hi Vladimir. I've just used instafeed.me on OBS and it was great. Just one question: is it possible to add another user into the live feed as in Instagram App. I couldn't.

This is the situation I'm trying to achieve: Instagram Live interview with another user, sharing external videos or audios in that interview. Is that even possible? Thank you!

Sorry to hear that, but its not just helps you with a key. Most important thing - security and login flow. I've covered all aspects and possible scenarios to allow users login without any problems. Also I have developed sync option for OBS to sync stream settings and start/stop streaming automatically. Another feature - you can restream your Youtube live or any other video to IG. You can stream from your browser using your webcam too! Comments available to read/pin/reply.
For large streams packs price drops to 70¢
