How to repost videos across different social platforms

Nobody wants to go through the hassle of remaking a video just so you can post it on another platform. That’s why we’ve created easy step-by-step guides on how to repost videos onInstagram Reels,TikTok, andYouTube Shorts．

In this article, you’ll learn some best practices and how-tos for reposting videos across platforms, including:

1. Instagram Reels to TikTok
2. TikToks to Reels
3. Reels and TikToks to YouTube Shorts

1.Instagram Reels to TikTok

TikTokhas ahugefollowing, so sharingInstagram Reelson TikTok is a simple and easy way to gain more exposure for your brand and make yourself known in front of a new audience. Additionally, reposting Reels on TikTok can potentially boost your TikTok following as well as bring more users to your Instagram profile.

1. Open Instagram and head to yourProfile．Under your story highlights, hit theReels选项卡来查看您以前发表的卷。Locate the Reel you want to repost on TikTok and open it.
2. While viewing your chosen Reel, tap the3-dot iconat the bottom right corner of the video. From the pop-up menu, selectSave to your device．Your Reel will be saved in your device’s camera roll.
3. Open your TikTok app and log into your account. From any page, select the “+”icon at the bottom of your screen to begin drafting a new TikTok.
4. Instead of creating an entirely new video, tapUploadto view content in your camera roll, and select your previously saved Reel. Add your caption and hashtags, then hitPost,你都准备好了!

2.TikToks to Reels

Reposting TikToks to Instagram Reels is a bit trickier because ofInstagram’s new guidelines．Instagram is no longer showing Reels to new people if it’s branded with a TikTok logo (or any other watermark for that matter) in order to prioritize Reels instead.

To repost TikToks on Reels without the TikTok watermark, you have to run the video through a third-party site or app to remove it.

In short, we advise avoiding this whole process. Instagram will most likely crack down on accounts, especially business ones, that repost content from other apps rather than making their own creative content.

Sharing a TikTok to Reels

If you’re okay with potentially taking a hit with new viewers and want to repost a TikTok to Instagram, you can share TikToks to Reels with this easy how-to:

1. On TikTok, find the video you want to repost to Reels and hit the Share button.
2. Within the sharing options, tapSave Video．This will save your video to your device.
3. Upload the saved video to Instagram Reels.

Sharing a TikTok to Instagram Stories

Another way to repost TikToks on Instagram is to post them on yourStory．TikTok offers a sharing option for Stories, making it incredibly easy for users to repost TikToks:

1. On TikTok, find the video you want to repost and hit theShare
2. Within the sharing options, tap theStoriesYou’ll then be brought over to the Instagram app where you can add any other additional effects or text to your Story.
3. Once you’re satisfied with your post, tapYour Story底部的年代creen to share.

3. Reels and TikToks to YouTube Shorts

YouTube Shorts are YouTube’s version of TikTok and Reels. Much like Instagram,YouTube’s algorithmprioritizes content created within the YouTube platform rather than content created from other apps like TikTok and YouTube.

While you could run your saved Reels and TikToks through a third-party site to get rid of watermarks, as marketers, we recommend creating your own original content for platforms,especiallywhen it comes to YouTube Shorts. The same goes for sharing YouTube Shorts to other sites like TikTok and Instagram.

Tips for repurposing videos for Instagram Reels, Tiktok, and YouTube Shorts

Here are a few simple tips for migrating videos between platforms.

Keep it short, sweet, and simple

The best piece of advice we can give you regardingcreating short-form video contentfor multiple platforms is to keep it short and sweet, but still entertaining. This kind of video content is meant to be easily digested by viewers. In other words, an overproduced, complicated video may not perform as well as a short one that was shot with minimal camera effects and sounds.

Users want original content, and the more produced that content becomes, the less they could enjoy it. By sticking with content that’s short and sweet but still entertaining, you can engage your audience more and better connect with them. Not to mention, you can hold their attention longer.

The best part? Videos that are short and simple aremucheasier to recreate if you really want to show that content on other platforms too.

Tailor content to each platform

While reposting the same video can save you some time and energy, it’s important to remember that video content isn’t one-size-fits-all for every platform.

TikTok, Reels, and Shorts all have different video specs and requirements, so while a video you create on one platform might work, there’s no guarantee it’ll be eligible on other platforms.

For example, video lengths vary across all platforms. A three-minute TikTok can’t be reposted on YouTube as a Short since Shorts have a60-second limit．Additionally, copyright rules for music on each platform vary, so in some instances, while a videocanbe reposted, it could be taken down for copyright infringement or other related community guidelines.

Instead, create content that works for each platform and its diverse audiences. As we said, keep things simple (but still entertaining!), and use the different video content on your social channels to your advantage.

Tease users with some of your other video content on other sites to encourage them to follow you on other social channels so they can experience all the video content your brand has to offer, rather than limiting themselves to one platform.
