How to Embed Instagram Videos on a Website

To get the code you need to embed, you must access the post through Instagram’s website. Assuming you’re starting with the Instagram app, follow these steps:

Adding Instagram Embed Code to a Website

The right place to insert the code depends on the website or blogging platform you’re using. For example, if your site runs on WordPress, you just need to access your editable page in Text mode (rather than Visual mode). If you’re building a site using pure HTML or a static site generator, you can paste the raw HTML you copied into your site and work around it. Take a look at the published page online to see the new Instagram photo or video neatly embedded. You should be able to see the photo with the link to the Instagram user’s name at the top as well as the number of likes and comments beneath it. If it’s a video instead of a photo, visitors will be able to play the video right on your website.
