IGTV is a standalone vertical video application launched by Instagram. Unlike Instagram, it allows users to upload videos of up to a hour and each user page are named "channels".[2] Despite it being a standalone app, basic functionality is also available within the Instagram app and website.[3]
The service was launched and introduced by CEO Kevin Systrom in a live event in San Francisco in June 21, 2018, featuring different creators such as Lele Pons.[4]
Service
[edit]IGTV allows uploads of up to 10 minutes in length with a file size of up to 650 MB, with verified and popular users allowed to upload videos of up to 60 minutes in length with a file size of up to 5.4 GB.[5] The app automatically begins playing videos as soon as it is launched, which Kevin Systrom contrasted to video hosts where one must first locate a video.[6][7][8]
