Previously, the videos could be visible in Instagram itself when users tapped on IGTV icon at the top-right of the screen, or within the separate IGTV standalone app.

An Instagram representative said:

 “With IGTV previews in Feed, we’re making it even easier to discover and watch the latest video content from your favorite follows,”

This new step taken by Instagram will help to boost the usage of IGTV.

IGTV feature was introduced with the hope that it would give Instagram a means of better competing with larger video channels such as  Google’s YouTube or Amazon’s Twitch.

It will be interesting to see how this new move by Instagram will be helpful to keep the users more engaged in this app.
